It all started so innocently. One day I met with some guy who smiled as he took my money. He assured me that I could trust him. But then, before I knew it, I was sucked into a spiral of crime and deceit.

Theft, confidence games, fraud and lies begin to permeate my life. My money was no longer mine - it had become nothing more than a tool to serve this ruthless master's insatiable greed. I could never feed it enough money to cover my paltry needs. Never....

I wonder how many other Dems are having this much trouble registering to vote in Los Angeles. If I had a suspicious mind, I might wonder if there was a purge shaping up around here.

Here's how my franchise is slipping through my fingers here in Downtown LA, in the Artist District (where we like our guns and vote Dem and pretend to be on the brink of fame and sex). Read More

Dear Neighbors, Fellow Americans, Valued Voters:

I am sure that you, like me, believe that it is high time that America administer a stern lesson to the liberals. This Fourth of July finds them smug with the success of their defeat of the Flag Burning Amendment. But you don't think that satisfied them, do you? No - they are now seeking ever more pernicious means to have their way with Old Glory. Mark my words, this Independence Day, liberals will see to it that our venerated family value of Fourth of July fireworks will be consumed in a fiery illumination more like the eternal incinerator those atheists know awaits them, than the solemn day on which we celebrate America's, and in so doing, Jesus's, Independence.

Let me get to the crux of what needs to be worrying you: We can all agree that people of low moral character will do just about anything for money. It's only logical, then, that some people are willing to do anything TO money. This is a fearsome threat to our national security. Read More

Dear Senator Kerry:

Your recent post on Kos didn't say a thing that would give any other Bonesman (hint, hint) so much as a moment's worry. It reads more like a written version of a secret handshake. The kind of secret handshake that neither you nor Bush would talk about when you both refused to discuss Skull and Bones during your campaigns. Can't talk about that, though - makes one a clear conspiracy nut, so onto your blog post.

It might help if you offer more of - even the faintest glimmer of - a solution to the horrors you acknowledge. Hell, everyone on this site has been saying the same things you do in your post. You, however, have the power to DO something about it. You suggest none of those steps, you only say it's time for an accountability moment. Read More

Publisher Linda Ford introduced a new freebie paper, THE ARTS DISTRICT CITIZEN, in Los Angeles this month, and here's a piece I'm crossposting from paper to the net remarking on the glorious dawn of American fascism. Copyright's mine.

The Gentle Step of the American Jackboot

1000 attendees at an Arts District opening were told to leave and the gallery was shuttered after police arrived and had a word with the owner. The result was Downtown talk about a "fascist" act of censorship.

Is that the right word, though? Fascist?
