Cold air comes down from the mountain.
Keep the radio on.
Mid winter, full moon. Lots of memories.
I still love the boundless sky.
I am old. I take care of my ox.

Horsing Around
Alright, I admit it, I’m falling in love with my wife Connie’s horse. His name is “Luiggi” which probably means that he was a Mafioso’s tax shelter in his former life as a race horse. But he comes when you call, he talks, I swear he’s part Labrador Retriever. And he eats like a Labrador!

Happy St. Stephen's Day
“Yet not in houses made by hands does the Most High dwell, even as the prophet says…. Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ear, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; as your father did, so do you also.”
(Yep, words like that will get you stoned every time.)

Anacharsis for Xmas
Dear Mr. President: now that you’ve given us the Levin-McCain jackboot for Christmas how about a card to go with it? It could say something like: “laws are like cobwebs, detaining only the weak, but never the strong.”
On this Xmas without civil liberties I’m going to do what the peasants always do and go feed the horse.

Why I Will Not Vote for Barack Obama
Mr. President, you have decided to support the Levin-McCain act, changing your initial disinclination to sign it. In so doing you have given away the human rights and civil liberties for which this country stands. I have no more use for you. Who am I? I'm just a visually impaired academic who believes in posse comitatis but hell, I studied poetry in grad school, not constitutional law. Did you sleep through the class on due process? Well here's a quote from one of the classes I took:
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever." (George Orwell)
Here's another Mr. President:
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
How's Hawaii sir? Are there enough sycophants around?
Hey Mayor B, Hail This!
New York City’s fleet of taxi cabs violates part of the Americans With Disabilities Act by not sufficiently providing for customers who use wheelchairs, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
The Bloomberg administration must now present an extensive report to the judge that describes a plan for expanding the availability of wheelchair-accessible taxis, which make up less than 2 percent of the city’s fleet of 13,000 yellow cabs.
