today i turn...
« on: Sat, 08 June 2013, 03:17:18 »
...11100.

give me your congratulations right now!
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

vodka and everclear are my choice drinks, they're very clean...   other exotic liquors have a high probability of headaches or other reactions... vodka has never let me down.

I prefer rum to vodka. Vodka reminds me of rubbing alcohol...

I always thought that ages that were multiples of 4, 7, and 12 were the most significant.

This Friday I will be 61, not much after last year's "biggie" ......
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"
