No More Pineapple Juice

















I just got back from Trader Joe's where I normally buy a 2 liter bottle of Hawaiian Pineapple juice. Sometimes I ask when I can't find something. The manager said, "Sorry it's too expensive to ship and sell at our prices." The end of cheap food is here not that 3.79 was all that cheap for non-organic juice. So I returned to my old standard stand-by organic apple juice. It's great but it doesn't have the same enzymes. Where are those wonderful Mexican pineapples I ate the last time I was south.?

Wow am I Depressed?! #$%^&???

Get Well Revised








Hey Mike
The itsy bitsy Recluse climbed up the water spout.
Along came Malloy and flushed that sucker out.
Recluse went and bit Mikey on the arm.
He thought it was a Bee and Benadryl would protect him from harm.
The next day Mike's heart slows way down.
He and the family had to go to town.

They found it wasn't a Bee at Emergency
Twas a bite from from a badass spidee
Its nice to have clean place, Mike
And its nice to be nice and tidy
But put on gloves
The ones you love
Don't want to be the ones to identify the body.
(with apologiies to Ogden Nash)

I am glad you're back and you're gonna be OK. Next time get the secret service to clear the brush of spiders like they do for the giggling killer.

Mike Malloy
















Hey Mike, I heard you got bit by one of them bees. "You ever know anyone that got stung by a dead bee?"
Do you know who said that? and in what movie?
I hope you recover soon. The guy who replaced you was just this side of Mike weiner to me.
Hope you like the card. I like you. I miss you. We miss you. Did you know they have made 'artificial" insects at UC Berkeley that fly and stuff for the DoD. You don't think they ... nah.'
Take care keep your light shining.
Peace

Size Matters: A Note to Jian Ghomeshi Q Host CBC Radio

Hey Jian
The top 10% eat a lot of turf. Some of them are on your show.
http://nl1873.policyalternatives.org
Please Jian, remind your rich friends and guests to be good examples and promote ecological simplicity. Not saying you have to move into a yurt.

I appreciated the ribbing you gave to Billy Bragg about being the punk-socialist jet setter in these last days of carbon wasting. I think the touchies and feelies coming to digital entertainment might represent the alternative to touring. Imagine 3D holographic rock shows in arenas, a kind holodeck for concerts which is what some struggling opera companies are attempting. But that might put more people out of work than disco(sic). Forget it, man. I was only dreaming.
"What a wonderful World"

BTW
I love your show.

Carlin

George was a man of honor in that he never said what he thought would please the POWERS. I appreciate his candor in fact he probably inspired the type of raw honesty I have used to defend myself in times of certain hypocrisy and flakiness.
He seemed to believe in justice without the fear/need of God. In a way this makes him a little more a man than those motivated by fear and the proposition that they might get to reap a reward of heavenly proportions(you name it the Christians, Hindus even the Buddhist NKT promises a "Pure Land" in the end and the Muslim harem of virgins for the patriot warriors) It seems that war gets a lot of nastiness out of the way. It clears away any doubts about who is right and conversely who is wrong... Which, as Carlin so aptly spoke about, is what gets us so readily into wars and conflicts. It's to protect our "stuff". The stuff of madness he won't have to defy anymore. Peace be with you Mr. Carlin.

Little Scotty


How does Karl Rove allow Little Scotty McClellen to speak his peace to the House Judiciary Committee? Rumor has it that McCain won't make it to the election. I think Scotty may have some unseen health concerns also and soon. This may be why he has seemed to have a crumb in his craw to clear his slate before he moves on for good. Even though we have his new book it is not going to reveal exactly what inspired him to turn on the BFEE.
