  1. Wico in San Antonio in May.  Just read Tweedy autobiography which was really good. If you missed it when it came out 8 years ago, and you don't know everything about them already, it's pretty good.

  3. I realize that this has always been so obvious, but these last four weeks have really made the point that it's gutless congresspeople who are to blame.  I'm not both sizing it.  Republicans because they are cowardly, irresponsible and devoid of ethics, and Dems because they don't have any imagination.

    Count me in as staying on to be a hunter gatherer.

    Will be so nice without those motherfuckers here, even if I'm only gathering two headed crawdads.

    Does anyone really believe these federal RIFs are going to improve the effectiveness of the government, at least towards the goals these agencies are intended to perform?

    They are intended to improve the effectiveness of "government" by eviscerating the federal government.
