Dad’s side was an architect who served in WWI and was exposed to mustard gas in France. Died of liver cancer when Dad was a toddler. Some of his houses still stand in Pasadena.
Mom’s Dad was a salesman. Lived with us in his old age.
Whadaya say we send bulldozers to MaraLago and Trump Tower?
Horse pucky.
Hope that dirty Saudi money lasts, because her career is over.
Gosh, imagine the numbers if all the games had been on ABC.
They will when you start kidnapping their neighbors
Hey Dem Senators:
WHAT THE ALMIGHTY FUCK ARE YOU KIDDING?
Could someone show me evidence of widespread celebrations on the left following political violence? Anyone? Bueller?
Boycott The U. S. Open! #BoycottTheUSOpen #VivaLaResistance
Players should refuse to play, spectators should stay home, no one should turn on tv to watch.
Both players should refuse to perform.
Thanks for giving me an excuse to go back and reread Smith’s stories. It’s been fun. Hope you’ve found more. Oh yeah, Drunkboat‘s Rambo = Rimbaud! D’oh!
Seems like the Louisiana National Guard should have better things to do in peak hurricane season than visit DC
Mass desertion from the National Guard would be an appropriate response to today’s attack on US civilians.
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
I had the honor knowing him briefly, and this is the best eulogy I can think of. Thank you!
My French isn’t good enough for the original, but I’ll see if I can find a translation. Drunkboat is stunning. Scanners Live In Vain also rises to the top.
Hope you’ve tracked these down—I just re-read Dead Lady of Clown Town and it’s even better than I remembered. Next, track down his novel, Norstrilia. And if you can, find some biographical information on him. Fascinating man.
The goal of the regime has always been obvious: Kill as many people as possible in as cruel a manner as they can imagine.
Just re-read Alpha Ralpha Boulevard. If you can track it down, The Ballad of Lost C’Mell is what I’d recommend for the next, then Dead Lady of Clown Town. Enjoy!
He has the best story titles!
I got this book as a gift several years ago, don’t know if it’s still available.
His stories build an amazing universe. Norstrilia is brilliant. Mother Hitton’s Littul Kittens, the Ballad of Lost C’Mel, any of the stories.
All of Cordwainer Smith’s writing is worth your time! One of my favorites from way back.
I’m told that alligators prefer ICE meat.
Senator Kennedy’s voicemail took a message moments ago. Sen. Cassidy’s box still full.
#LASenators
Senator Cassidy’s voicemail boxes are full. Senator Kennedy’s Washington voicemail was full, but his New Orleans office let me leave a message.
