Money vs. Your Health? You Lose!

Bush and his oil business cronies are hard at work, and it is hard work, trying to screw up the environment as quickly as possible because, well goddamn it there's MONEY involved! Here's a link:

Stone Lion Dogs

Yes, it's true. The Lion will be going the way of all dinosaurs, I guess. Perhaps it's time. Certainly, the glory years are over. Hoppy's original inception of the joint as a "frat" hang-out has become more predominant. Yet, there are still the freaks who maintain a corner of the place for their illicit affairs. In fact, I have never seen quite the level of in-your-face dope smoking at the Lion as of late. But, even so, it's strange there sometimes. Not quite the same wild vibe as before. But maybe it's just me who's not so wild anymore. However, the stories from years ago are legendary. Here are a few:

The Great Fish Head Incident for instance. Every night for a week, a pile of rotten fish heads were dumped into the tank of the women's room toilet. You can imagine the result. It took a while before anyone discovered where the horrid smell was coming from. The purpose behind such a prank? Youthful exhuberence, high spirits, social commentary? All of that, and, at the same time, none of that. Pointless, random mayhem was sometimes the order of the day at the Lion.

One night, after closing time and the consumption of dozens of beers and multiple tabs of LSD, we poured red paint from the roof down the front of the building, and Fairchild nearly killed himself leaping across a poorly constructed ramp we had placed between the balcony next door across to the Lion's roof. Eric made the leap, but then kept going and fell off the opposite side of the roof to the concrete steps below. Being drunk and tripping on acid probably saved his life.

Rob, I remember you and I standing out front reciting dialogue from "Blue Velvet" one night when a passing drunk, who was just entering a cab, leapt back out and popped you in the gulliver when he thought the line "He's a pussy, Frank!" was directed towards him.

Also, when fraternity-type fuckheads were screwing with my girlfriend, you calmly told them "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but you must be maced." Their incredulous looks told me they thought you, me, and the rest of the leather-clad ruffians we were with (whom the fratboys had foolishly overlooked) just might be crazy enough to do it.

There are, of course, many more such tales of debauchery and destruction. I'm sure somebody else besides my friends pulled such ridiculous stunts. Immature? Yes. Foolish? Most certainly. But I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Adios, Stone Lion.

Save America


Save America

George Bush is smug and out of touch with reality. And it's a theme that others are beginning to pick up on and amplify. On Monday, former Vice President Al Gore gave his "closing argument" in a passionate and powerful finale to his MoveOn speech series. The address focused on this same reality gap. Here's a short excerpt:

The President's aversion to doubt is sometimes interpreted as proof of the strength of his convictions. But in truth, it is nothing more than his refusal to even consider alternative opinions and conflicting evidence. The president ignores the warnings of his experts. He forbids any dissent. He is arrogantly out of touch with reality. He refuses to ever admit his mistakes. Which means that as long as he is our president, we are doomed to repeat them. It is beyond incompetence. It is recklessness that risks the safety and security of the American people.

How could a team so skilled in politics be so fumbling and incompetent when it comes to policy? The truth is that the same insularity and zeal that makes him effective at smash mouth politics, makes him terrible at governing. The Bush-Cheney administration is a rarity in American history, it is simultaneously dishonest and incompetent.

George Bush has neutralized Congressional accountability by intimidating the Republican leadership and transforming his majority into a true rubber stamp, unlike any that has ever before existed in our history. He has appointed judges who help insulate him from accountability in the courts. He has sidestepped the press by refusing to conduct the public's business openly.

There is now only one center of Constitutional power capable of holding George W. Bush accountable. Only we, the voters, can take our country back.
