I'm doing fine... Dick . . .

When I think of those GOP dummies on the Hill screwing the people I get this picture in my mind.

I'm off to go sailing...

How ya doin Ducky!

Good to see you again.

I envy your memories though.

Every time I read something about the minimum wage I think of that huge parking lot in the cities where groups of men are just standing around hoping to get a temp gig for the day. Just hopelessness.

And Lamar would take away their minimum wage?

Oh well.

The Dead can take away those terrible thoughts!

Damn it... Dick . . . You

Damn it... Dick . . .

You just had to bring my cousin Lamar up ... Eh?

Oh and... thanks for the Dylan/Dead tune... April 1988 at Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ... I worked that tour. I was real young then, only forty-two.

hahahahahaha

Hmm ... Well, let's see,

Hmm ... Well, let's see, besides Mom, there was Apple Pie ... no, not the delicious dessert, this "Apple Pie" (not her real name) was a two-bit stripper at an after-hours club in lower Manhattan. She often worked with Whipped Cream, if you get the picture ... and yes, Whipped Cream was another stripper (and yes, Whipped Cream was her real name). But never mind that.

The point is, Apple Pie really knew how to subvert Democracy, if you get my drift ... She could run your patriotic duty up a flag pole until everyone in the place saluted, if you know what I'm talkin' about ... She had a pair of Communisms on her that would make Uncle Sam scream, "Manifesto!" ... Know what I mean? Anyway, uh, ... I think I plead the fifth dimension. If I don't say anything else, you don't have dimension the whole thing.

I realized I was just talking

In reply to Minor bump? hahahahahah Okay,

I realized I was just talking from my limited experience in C'ville, so decided to see how "minor" our bump actually was. Turns out, not so minor! Although unemployment in C'ville was only 4.7% in April (the last month I see data for), it was as high as 8.4% in January of 2010, compared to previous seasonal highs of 4.1% (January 2008). The 4.7% is a seasonal low, so it's also not true that even Charlottesville has recovered yet.

Minor bump? hahahahahah Okay,

Minor bump?

Okay, so kids are now working for $3/hr. hahahahahah

Then there's Detroit!

All righty then! hahahahah

I dunno, the comment caught me off-guard or something. hahahahah

Wellfare or wheelfare I guess.

I dunno.

I really feel so bad for those residents of Detroit.

The auto capitol of the world for chrissakes!

A sad, sad situation indeed.

Okay, so there was trigger, I

In reply to So you admit that you've had

Okay, so there was trigger, I mean that is what we used to call him!

Trigger would say things like:

Hey, why are the Adams eating from tuna fish cans and we get to eat crab legs with Steve King?

I dunno.

I wondered about things like this.

Then I said:

To hell with it.

I am a commie.

hahahahahah

the end

Unemployment effects are

In reply to Walmarts in my area are under

Unemployment effects are definitely regional. We had a minor bump here in Charlottesville and then things rebounded quite quickly. Then there's Detroit…

So you admit that you've had

In reply to Me? A Communism? DD, I have

So you admit that you've had a long term, decades at least, relationship with a self confessed socialist.

If we are to accept your word, and your word alone, that you aren't a communist we would have to assume you wanted to help, out of your love for American democracy, us uncover the communist plots threatening out nation.

What other information can you give us on other communists and socialists you know or have met? Names, communist activities, details of their personal lives, anything that could help us identify these enemies to our American way of life.

I just finished watching some

In reply to Me? A Communism? DD, I have

I just finished watching some HBO special with Louis CK and Chris Rock and Seinfeld and one of them was talking about some joke from some other comic stuck in their minds.

And I immediately thought of old Burl Ives; for some reason.

Burl always resounds in my mind.

A guy threatened for his communist sympathies who ended up in big films in the 50's for Christsakes! But I never saw him as a turn coat, as they say!

His records were wonderful.

He wished to keep the old culture and cultural values alive.

I just loved this guy.

Anyway, here is a communism from old Burl:
