No money was paid to anyone for the reading of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time."

"The Journey," by Douglas Whiting can be read with great love and respect and hope for your enjoyment. This time with complete endorsement, authorization, and  permission from the author, their heirs and publisher! All me!


We did not pay anyone for use of the opening music from Cake ("Wheels," off of "Pressure Chief," or the closing, either (Mr. Scruff's tune "Kalimba"). Our bad.

        Q: What the hell are you supposed to call that place in Long Beach with the
             big boats?

        A: Port of Los Angeles / Port of Long Beach

        Hey Wisconsin! Whatever the hell is going on with the "boom-boom," it ISN'T 
        "micro-quakes" or whatever the hell your psycho psychic seismic advisor advised
        you. Good Luck with the research. You may want to look into BP and Rocketdyne.

     Everything you wear, most of what you eat, and for sure every single thing you have
     ever driven, came through as cargo on one of those big-ass boats down here in Long
     Beach Harbor. Get used to it. Oh, and everything downwind of it is incredibly succeptible
     to environmental concerns from diesel exhaust to fracking issues and exotic foreign pests.

          causes of our best nation's nature, and we need them before the century turns. What

          is Ted Stevens's friends, family and progeny to do but gather the guns and butter and 

          run the other way? We need to aplogize one by one to him and let him know that we 

          appreciate his years of service. To do that, we have to learn if there ever were any.

4) Dystopias

          Blade Runner, Fifth Element, Terminator, Mad Max, Twelve Monkey, and Brazil: just a few of the "futuristic" dystopian films that have entertained and perhaps frightened us a little. The list goes on, including today's run of Zombie/Vampire flicks and TV shows. But tell me this: Where are the stories where things have worked out?

          In Blade Runner, Technology has been unable to manage the population and there is rampant suffering and hardship. Follows rebellion, follows tyranny and abuses of power and a chase between a bounty hunter and a cyborg. All set in a crumbling, post-post modern coffin-shaped planet. Why? I mean it works great for Ridley Scott as a career foundation, and for us as a benchmark for futurus diturbitus styling. My question is this:  Where is the Happy?

          Why do all the films of a time beyond ours play it so dark, so twisted? Is this the choice we are making for ourselves?

3) Local Loco.
Give your community a hug and a kiss. If we make our homes 
places of peace, love and creation, all of this political bullshit will be 
much more manageable, really. You can start with something as 
simple as singing out loud. Come on! You know you like it! Open 
your windows, and sing. And if your neighbors are all assholes, 
congratulations! They probably feel the same thing. That is a great 
place to start.

4) Local Music
       This evening was less about the music and more about my total lack
       of orienteering skills. Driving from SFV to Eagle Rock is a simple task
       unless I am the solo operator of the vehicle. By the time that I
       reversed field and found the goddamn venue, my sane brain was long-
       gone for the night. Entering the converted church with its xeriscape
       landscaping, I made for a soft chair and began reciting my most
       self-nurturing mantra to no avail. When the first band began to
       assemble onstage, 2 hours late, I resisted urges to hurl anti-mantras
and instead fled to carne casa Oinkster, just down the street. The
show should have been great. Some said it was.

Billy Jack the movie.

We didn't pay anyone to play the opening music from Cake (Wheels off of Pressure Chief). Or the close tune, either, for that matter (Mr. Scruff playing Hot Tuna, I think). Our bad. Of course, nobody paid us either, so...?

Now, seriously, get the fuck back to work! DD

Tiger or Phil or the field?

Yes, Virginia, there certainly are more golfers than Tiger. But you wouldn't know it to hear Golf Channel reporters. They unanimously spiked Twitter comments from viewers requesting more diversity on the broadcast.

"They just don't get it," intoned Marketing Analyst #1, He (Tiger) has more majors than any active player."

I guess if all viewers follow ad revenue actuarial statistics more than The Love of The Game this would be true. But some of us still spring from the Francis Ouimet Cinderella School and just like seeing good shot-making and following who is hot at the time. Golf Channel would serve their own audience more by responding to, say, Charlie Wi, who covers Northern Cal demographics as well as the over-40 crowd.

Whadaya think?
