Are about Charlie Kaufman thinking about what it would be like to be Charlie Kaufman thinking about someone who's Charlie Kaufman thinking about thinking about Charlie Kaufman. In the same way that "Memento" was the first recent film to usher in a whole school of films, which, having noting really at all to say, devolved into stories told backwards and sideways, Charlie Kaufman films are really about being the impenetrable monolith of being Charlie Kaufman.

It's axiomatic.

Misery, Dolores Claiborne, The Regulators are only three. Stephen Kings' books are littered with characters, writers, artists, who hate what they do or regret that they can't do it well anymore. Which I find fascinating.

Americans start out in life cognizant only of comfort and safety. Eventually that darkens into demands that their lives are perfectly safe at all times, at all costs. What starts out as spoiled childish naivete ends as a steel toed boot crushing a face forever.

"The left hates Israel the right hates the Jews." You're all worthless scum as far as I'm concerned and you can all sizzle and fry in hell.

And trust me, we Jews who aren't trying on your Kapo armbands would be thrilled to walk away from this godforsaken piece of shit country given the right circumstances. And it doesn't matter which one you is in the White House either.

I can hardly wait for the Salon calls to "Leave Jew Leave!!!"

Which are, as you may know precisely 180 degrees the reverse of those in the US. In the UK you can charge, more or less anyone with libel and they are presumed guilty unless and until the defendant can prove they are innocent. This case obviously occurred in the in UK. Had it been in the US, the defendant would have spit on the complaint and mailed it back with a nice "Go Fuck Yourself" written on the envelope.

I've openly called some online vendors straight up criminals on eBay and there's nothing they can do except lobby to get it deleted.

And the Japanese case? Well Japan has been the container for the world's weirdness for a long time: Midget Hentai Furry Star Trek Porn.

Nannyopolis America will make this a requirement on cell phones as soon as they can. I'm hoping to see the death by suicide of all personal responsibility in the US, in my lifetime. It's gonna be awesome.

The market locked before 7am EST today because of the circuit breakers installed in the Futures markets as a result of trading on OTHER exchanges already operating. BTW It would help if this column amended their headlines to reflect how the world works at the CLOSE of the markets which was 2 hrs ago (-312 not -450).

But the wider picture is this: you can't reliably lock down the regulations of your own exchanges as long as they're tied to every other exchange.

Eric Rudolph is in prison for life with no parole in a SuperMax facility for bombing an abortion clinic, among other places. Just check the record to learn what he was convicted of. Where as I don't believe Mr. Ayers has ever been convicted of a crime.

Yiff.

Which is kinda awesome all on its own.

And I've recommended before that if Glenn the self professed world's champion for free speech is so irritated by any speech that differs from his, then he should seriously consider making the letters-to portion of this blog a subscription fee only affair. It's cheaper to do that than it is to hire a full time mod to prescreen everything before posting. And the odds are that only like minded clones would bother to shell out the money for the honor of being a "FOG", Friend Of Glenn. Technically it can't be impossible to do this and the potential revenue to perennially broke Salon Communications could be impressive.

So what do you say, Glenn? Put our money where your mouth is. Stand up for REAL Speech; speech you pay for. Otherwise you're just being a thin skinned capricious fool the same as the wingnuts you're always poking at. And that dear sir is rank hypocrisy.

Whatever he fails to achieve will of course because of The Man. Gotchya.

When God is paranoid is He still God?

So the Jews are a terrorist hate group.

Most I gather are either falsely and heroically poor, or under 30. Yes America sucks, Americans suck. They are all stupid xenophobic bible humping no shoes wearing Sunday go to meeting Camo gun nuts. All of them. They only question I have is why can't there be another 911 every day of the year? What could possibly be wrong with that?

Every household gets a finite quantity of fuel per month. No more no less. And decrease that allotment 6% per year. You will see all sorts of increased interest in mass transit be it train, bus or burro.

You see problems are hard, solutions are easy.

But thanks for wearing your GOOD white hood for this party.

Is that the Nov 5th national race war is going to be awesome.
