My Refutation of a Refutation of the Hedges arti. Chris Hedges on The Cancer in Occupy. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. My Refutation of a "Refutation" of the Hedges article. Denouncing the black block. I'm with Hedges. See the points. I have previously made. And now, for the speedy demolition of Gato's emotionally changed and factually baseless rhetorical attack on Hedges. Gato's article isn't quite a great "refutation" of Hedges. Gato praises the heroic black block in Oakland which on the day of a recent at...

Laughing Fish: Government Is Good.
http://laughingfish.blogspot.com/2013/10/government-is-good.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Millions of ordinary people work for the government. And in the middle of a terrible economy a lot of them don't know when they're going to get their next paycheck. That is nothing to celebrate. Thus, let us take a moment to appreciate the many things the government does GOOD. Public libraries are the practical expression of the idea of democracy at its best as. At the most basic level, when it is cold outside (or too hot! This should be an opportunity for citizens to take bac...

Laughing Fish: August 2011

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. So I deleted the old post because it had too many specific clues in the URL but I wanted to keep some of the words because they are worth saying. I also deleted it because the less specific inter artist drama that I or anyone else gets sucked into and clogs up the internet with, then the better. I have known for a few years. has stayed at my house before a few times when I lived in DC. No Could I ever disprove it? No Is that even *likely*? Described the decline of that culture f...

Laughing Fish: September 2011
http://laughingfish.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 17, 2011. Been spending the week in Emery- Carbon County. Mostly examining old coal camps, going for better pictures than I had time to take last year. This morning the clouds were only intermittent. I woke up in Standardville. Walked around to take a few photos. Exited a ruin, slipped on a board, and fell on my $500 camera. Destroying it. This of course is a serious problem. Here's some of what I've been able to come up with. Victor was a farming community. Until they realized fa...

Great Dissatisfaction with Geico. The Show Goes On. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Great Dissatisfaction with Geico. Where then, did the $62 per month quote come from? I assume your company can pay for website programmers with enough skills to use the same algorithms to calculate payments as your employees use on their computers when I talk to them over the phone. Did it fall from the sky? Was it the product of a random number generator? Geico policy number XXXX-XX-XX-XX. On Tue, 7/5/11, GEICO. 37640 for 6 mon...

The Ripping of the Rivers Tears. Sunday, June 19, 2011. The Ripping of the Rivers' Tears. Last night I walked on down a trail. Along a rivers' edge. The red rock country lifted hearts. And stirred my spirits' end. Three trips were camping by the shore. The one I happened find. On the matter of fine wines. Fine wines from Malborough, New Zeland. Napa and Merlot, CA. Elevation, soil and rain. Aeration, steel, oak and names. Were all that night to me explained. Far off outside Durango. On a lonely Mesa hill.
