Justice, tempered by Mercy; Anger, tempered by Snark. Amateur Everything. Chronic insomniac. Aggressively progressive. Hopeful cynic. A lie has speed; truth has endurance. If I can't set a good example, then I'll serve as a cautionary tale.

Lately baby I've been thinkin'
how good it was when you were here
and it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin'
for once I feel my head is spinning
But early this mornin' when I opened my eyes
that old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise
I guess you meant more than I realized

I've missed the Polynesian nugget sauce for decades, and finally gave up trying to make it at home, but I still haven't been back. And I once said I wanted to be found dead naked floating in a pool of the stuff, because it's just so effing good. (Not cause of death, just found that way.)
Be strong.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.
