Pestilence! Cool! When the first seal is opened, you ride forth on a white horse. You wear a crown and hold a bow, and you've been unleashed to conquer and kill. Many believe that you are the Antichrist, deceiver of man. Hey man, if I'm gonna be part of the Apocalypse then you can bet I'm going to be right out front leading the charge. I hate waiting. Aside from being pestilent I've been a very good witch-wife and fixed up Mick's spazzed out back this morning. I don't know how much I helped GBW's headache the other day, but Mick believes I've got the magic touch and as we all know belief is the most essential part of healing. I tell Mick I'm going to fix his ouchies and he takes my word for it that I can. Some massage, some heat, and a lot intense concentration on the owie and POOF! All better. No, I cannot make the blind see again or the lame walk, but I'm hell on wheels with Mick's lower back problems. Ah, 'wheels' reminds me. Yesterday I'm jamming Jet down the back roads on my way to Wolf's school and busted out laughing. When it comes to some things forty years hardly makes a difference. There I was in my low-slung boot cut jeans and a pea coat and a black turtleneck zipping along in my VW Beetle listening to the Beatles. Was it 2008 or 1968? Aside from some stylistic differences and the advanced electronics (in '68 I would have been listening to the Fab Four on my tinny staticky AM radio not on digitally remastered CD) I had to laugh, the time warp was obvious. For all that I think I'm so fashion forward I seem to have a real pash for the classics. At least some of the cooler classics. I can't see myself ever owning a cashmere twin set or (sorry, Grandma) a Chanel suit. But VW Bugs, the Beatles, and black turtlenecks will always be with us. Obama? Who knew? Guess the Iowans did. Good for him. And good for the masses of young people who came out to vote yesterday. It's encouraging to see the younger set participating and bringing their energy to what has become a wretched dispiriting eyesore on the American landscape. I've been a political animal since discovering Bella Abzug and making her my hero when I was in the 2nd grade and the last 7 years of partisan bile, fear mongering, warped treasonous power grabbing, ineptitude, cronyism, illegal war, corruption and filth just about killed things for me. And I was here during Watergate! It's a happy thing to see that faith in our political process hasn't been done entirely to death by that slimy crew squatting in the White House and those wimps in Congress. Oh, and speaking of 'faith'…Huckabee? Bwahahahahahaha! The shrieking outraged howls from the mainstream GOP crack my shit up. Yo! You guys have been pandering to and whipping the holy rollers into a frenzy and making them believe in their own ridiculous persecution fantasies for the last 20 years. And now you have the gall to be all surprised they want to park the New Messiah in the Oval Office? Ole Huck and his floating cross are going to save them from us heathens and make the US the theocracy it was 'meant' to be. Did you really think the churchies wouldn't eventually believe the shit you fed them and want to make a power grab for Jesus? C'mon, guys, you asked for it.
