No Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help. No looters. No rapes. No murders. No one in the media is asking tough questions about why the Federal Government hasn’t solved the problem. No one is being relocated by the Government to free hotels. Spike Lee won’t say the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines or Hannibal, MO. No Sean Penn. No Dixie Chicks. No one is declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people. There’s none of it. There’s just a lot of people helping each other until the waters subside.
Clean cup club On Tuesday, I had lunch at Schlafly Bottleworks with my boyfriend and his mom. I wanted to order the sardine sandwich but went with the more plebeian choice of smoked turkey, because I didn’t want to stink up our table with a sandwich that smells like locker room grout. We talked about our fourth of July plans and the Georgia teenager who was decapitated by a Six Flags roller coaster. Later that night, Michelle came over and proposed a trip to Ted Drewes, but at the last minute, we decided to walk to Mr. Wizard instead. Mr. Wiz.jpg In between spoonfuls of my Black Forest concrete, I borrowed all of Bill Kaysing’s most convincing arguments and told Michelle how the 1969 lunar landing was probably faked. And she told me about the time she was in second grade, and Jodie Sweetin, the actress who played middle child Stephanie Tanner on Full House, came to the West County mall to sign autographs. Apparently, Michelle’s mom, tired of waiting in a long line of rabid Jodie Sweetin fans, told Michelle she would have to content herself with a photo of the child star. So, while Jodie’s head was bowed over the Reebok she was autographing, Michelle snapped a picture. She said the next time she came over she’d bring me a copy of the photo (and an Eartha Kitt album). Since Jodie’s 1993 mall appearance, she’s developed and kicked an addiction to crystal meth; I’ve gone to San Francisco and walked in the wrong direction for hours in search of the Full House house; and Michelle has forgotten the name of the Tanner family dog. I had to remind her on the walk back from Mr. Wizard. (via 52nd City: Clean cup club

Depressing and not at all playful or warm like I’m used to from 52nd. :/
I used to fantasize about having five children
Some I would make myself
Some I would end up with, not quite sure how
Boys or girls, most likely a mix
They would be as different from each other as
Songs on a good movie soundtrack
Today I learned some things.
I will need a nanny, or babysitter. No. Both.
Only one infant is allowed.
My lap can hold three toddlers
Children love digital cameras and screaming.

“What should young people do with their lives today?
Many things, obviously.
But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

whoa.
poem by Kurt Vonnegut
Joe Heller
True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Cach-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!
— Kurt Vonnegut
Minutes later, police received a call for a car accident at Mullanphy Street and North Broadway, about 10 blocks north of the Arch grounds.
The man who ran over the ranger was trapped in his car with gunshot wounds to his chest, abdomen and groin, police said.
He later died at a local hospital and his name has not been released.

…what’s going on?
We were joined by Jon Stephens, marketing director for the Baltimore-based Cordish development company, which built the Kansas City Power & Light District.
Cordish also is the developer for the Ballpark Village project in St. Louis, and Stephens was ready for my first question. When will we see some action, other than ducks swimming, in the mudhole next to Busch Stadium?
“We’re very confident it will be developed in time,” Stephens offered in his best PR-ese. “The key there is to look at the track record of success — what’s been built on the western side of the state.”
