Loyal readers,
We now have a Stories page. For now I have just posted a rerun, my little story about the grocery store in Northwest Arkansas. Aside from narrative material, it will have longer, more thought out essays. Once I figure out the html, there will be a permanent link to the Stories page. For now, we will put the link up when we post anything.

Howdy there Mike,
Some loose ends to tie up tonight.
Titties: Good point re this part of the body as object of fear as well as worship. When I first moved to the South, I was quite surprised to discover that Southerners use the word "titty" in mixed company. I shit you not.
Gregory Peck: This blog killed him. Let's look at the evidence:
5/28 - Blog contains a poem comparing John Edwards to his movie character Atticus Finch.
6/3 - American Film Institute names Finch the number one hero in film history.
6/11 - Peck shuffles off his mortal coil.
Eerie, isn't it?
Sammy Sosa: Probably innocent, mostly. Someone pointed out that he has broken dozens of bats; no one spotted cork before. So it was either an honest mistake or a moment of weakness. Sammy is a good lad. Naturally, his innocence nullifies my prediction that Clinton would be blamed. (There must have been an escape clause there somewhere.)
Martha Stewart: William Safire makes pretty a convincing argument that the charges she is facing are trumped-up and flimsy. Conspiracy-lovers 1, GOP 0.
Jeb Bush: If Gray Davis can be recalled, why not Jeb Bush? (I suppose one reason would be if Florida law doesn't allow for it, but cut me some slack here.) Florida must be at least as screwed up as California. They are eliminating 12th grade to balance the budget! Besides, he and Katherine Harris took ten of thousands of legal voters of the voting rolls. Good enough reason for me.
Donald Rumsfeld: Don, if you want to be gay, be gay. Go out and gay it up. No one's stopping you.
The piano: Quite enjoyable. The fascists will have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

In The Future, Everyblog Will Be Famous For 15 Minutes
I hear we made Wired magazine's "HotBlogs" list this month! Yeah!
No, not really. But we're on Gooogle!
For the record, I got a 9/16. You mean that urinal isn't really art? Who knew?
Are we really any more advanced in our artistic sensibilities than the pre-WWI European bourgeousie? We're still shocked by a crucifix in a jar of piss (come on, admit it, you were too!) but numb to the real-life horrors of starvation, war, and disease worldwide. The recent television coverage of Bush's war was sanitized for consumption to an extent that was absurd even by Fox News's standards. We just couldn't have it any other way. Blood and dirt are yucky. Flags and fresh-faced young men in crisp uniforms are most smashing! I say, good show! Marvelous gallantry and courage, O brave warriors! God, Empire, and Family smile on ye this glorious day.
Meanwile, our Attorney General is aghast at a tittie. Film at eleven.

Quiz: Art or crap?
I got the same score as My so called lesbian life , 11/16. Nice blog, but what's deal with the title? Is she not actually a lesbian, or does she not have a life? Maybe she should purchase one of our personal ads. They have done wonders for Andrew, who is seeing the Libertarians, and Peggy, who is supporting an unemployed fireman in Teaneck, New Jersey*. Love is a beautiful thing.
*Kidding, kidding. Don't sue me. I'm poor.
