Speaking of "going viral," did we miss an online video that purported to show banksters urinating on some mortgage loan adjustment modification applications?

 

In the time that it took to write this column and take some photos for possible use as accompanying illustrations, we could have cranked out an alternative column that lamented the pathetic possibility that a hand full of voters in two small states have put the Republican Party's seal of approval on someone who is perceived by some cynics as being "a member of a cult." Instead, we choose to go searching in San Francisco for something that could (metaphorically speaking) be considered as the columnists' McGuffin of accompanying column illustrations.

Now the disk jockey will play the Vertigo soundtrack album, the Birdman of Alcatraz soundtrack album (if it exists) and the Jefferson Airplane album "Surrealistic Pillow."   We have to go see if we can find Bill Cosby's recording about driving around in San Francisco.   Have a "stuff dreams are made of" type week.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
