1969-09-24: Chicago Conspiracy Trial

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Was this event conspicuously missing from anyone else’s history textbook? The federal judge assigned to the case was Julius Hoffman (no relation to Abbie – who, along with Jerry, would (un)affectionately nickname him “Julie”) – a particularly conservative seventy-four-year-old Republican millionaire with investments in the defense industry. Judge Hoffman set the scene for the circus [...]

Notice of Underreported Income “from” IRS.gov

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

A little note to the spammers – you guys seriously need to get organized… The first fifteen times I received this notice (alternately addressed to “jimmy”, “josie”, “pete”, “theresa”, et cetera) I did my best to ignore it, however, (and I’m sure you’ll agree if you see my inbox) sending fifteen copies of the same [...]

A Customer versus The Operator Customer: Q: What else can you tell me about your company and services? I mean maybe you are unique somehow? Why should I join you?

They shoot horses don’t they (via Happy Famous Artists) is the recent work of Stephan Balleux. Combining portraits with nuanced and menacing aberrations of swirling grey matter comes naturally and even flows with the theme of paint as a rebellious medium itself imparting a fabricated essence or semiotic undercurrent into each distorted vision of the [...]

I’ll torture you so slowly,
you’ll think it’s a career

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Atrocitas Sui Generis The company that employed me strived only to serve up the cheapest fare that its customers would tolerate, churn it out as fast as possible, and charge as much as they could get away with. If it were possible to do so, the company would sell what all businesses of its kind [...]

Epiphany

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I was experiencing a moment of déjà senti when the thought occurred to me that the originating experience may have preceded my present experience by a measurable time increment – and similar experiences may also have originated a discrete amount of time from their semi-conscious recollections. How very interesting… do go on, if you must… [...]
