The Lost HNT
not so nekkid maybe for some tastes. maybe too nekkid for others.
trip on this. it was 1979 or 80. i was 15 or 16. visiting my friend in aptos. it's a hussong's cantina tee shirt. a sexy cool sweater. and one succulent turkey sandwich. and isn't that what being thankful is all about? not knowing you look like a dork while you're acting like one? and then someday you see the picture and are glad you did this? so damn thankful.
and half nekkid thursday can be yours here for only one kiss.

The Clock, She's Ticking. Time To Saddle Up
Last Fresno Bee rant while still in Fresno (letter to the editor):
Whoa! When Vice President Dick Cheney says "We never had the burden of proof" about Saddam Hussein's alleged WMD's as a defense against not being able to find a single one even when that was the foremost reason given for going to war along with Hussein's alleged ties to Osama bin Laden...one has to ask whose responsibility it was. After all, we made claim after claim about the WMD's and purported "irrevocable evidence". It was written in stone as far as we knew.But, suddenly, proving it is not our responsibility. It's Hussein's. When did this happen? When did we earn the right to accuse, but not be held responsible for inaccuracy? If you sling the stone you have just declared yourself innocent of all sin. Or you have a very good lawyer. So, which is it? Do we know the WMD's exist or are we throwing ourselves on the "it seemed like a good idea at the time and you can't prove otherwise" court?
