My work is never done. No sooner do I expose Lara’s love for ONE BLACK MAN, then I read about Trump giving himself a big shout-out on Memorial Day. He is going for the Black Swing Vote – some more – thus it’s all about him, as its all about his Bro Dragon, Kanye West.  Kanye has a new twist on the term ‘White Negro’.

How low can you go – and still seize the day? I mean, WE are supposed to be honoring Dead Warriors who Sacrificed their life for The Greater Good? And, now we got this Ugly Culture War that has divided us into segmented loyalties. And, you think I have no right to talk Black Trash Talk because of the color of my skin?

Death does not recognize the color of one’s skin! Think about it – and grow the fucking up!

Superficial Reflections on the Hipster

Our search for the rebels of the generation led us to the hipster. The hipster is an enfant terrible turned inside out. In character with his time, he is trying to get back at the conformists by lying low. . . . You can’t interview a hipster because his main goal is to keep out of a society which, he thinks, trying to make everyone over in its own image. He takes marijuana because it supplies him with experiences that can’t be shared with “squares.” He may affect a broad-brimmed hat or a zoot suit, but usually he prefers to skulk unmarked. The hipster may be a jazz musician; he is rarely an artist, almost never a
