Blazing Saddles in DC
Short one today –
Has to be – got more to do.
We have a gig – August 1 at the Luna Lounge – 9 pm. More details to follow. Got to get busy with promotion and all that.
It comes as very little surprise that for the last 6 years or so, Dick Cheney has been in charge. The impression one gets is that of a far more sinister Hedly Lamar in Blazing Saddles. But not really very competent. It’s the secrecy – that protects the fact that Dick and his boys are absolute knee biters when it comes to getting anything other than screwing up done.
What is going to be interesting here is that you wonder if this story will get under W’s skin. Sure he’s an incurious dolt, but he’s insistent the people treat him with what he considers the proper respect – hell he insists that old friends from Texas (I think more like old business partners W doesn’t really seem to have friends in the way I understand the term) have to call him Mr. President – when he goes biking his damn socks have the presidential seal on them for god’s sake. He is, for all his obvious lack of ability, a very very vain man and this has got to hit him pretty hard in his weakest point.
Giant from the Unknown is on it’s way to me per Netflix – looks to be a pretty typical ‘50’s bad sci fic film – after the nonsense I’ve seen the last few days, I’m kind of looking forward the cheap sets and the bad acting (bad acting in the 50’s was different than bad acting in the 90’s most in that people in the 90’s are actually worse in most cases – Plan 9 and Manos excepted).
To work on the book tonight - we are going to try and get some folks in Friday to do a full read of what we have so the more we have the better it works out – at least we hope – that is the case.
Hot and Humid in the city - the air is a slate blue and the haze is already starting to obscure the taller buildings – and when you go outside you are bathed in sweat but since the air is full of humidity it doesn’t evaporate and so the body just starts sweating more trying to cool down.
Speaking of air – Ms Whitman she of ‘the air is okay’ post 9-11 was grilled yesterday in front of congress. As with everybody else in the administration - she is not to blame for the illness of the men and women who worked at ground zero while the fire was still burning – it took several weeks to burn itself out if memory serves. I got exposed to that gunk too so I have bit of personal interest in this – not as much as some folks I know – a cousin of mine is a fireman and he spent days at the site so of the two he’s far more likely to get sick than I am and he’s married with 2 kids.
Heck of a job Todd.
Peace love, that’s Hed-ly.
