You Know Who You Are

BLINKER BOY – You sat in your powder blue minivan tending your liver spots waiting for someone to move their car out of a prime spot. There wasn’t anyone even walking to a car in that lane, but you know that time and numbers are on your side. You’re also savvy enough to know that if you let another car pass, they may get to a spot first. So you block. And you wait. In the middle. Staking out that lane as yours and creating havoc behind you. Left blinker on if someone walks down the left side of the row, quickly switching to right blinker if they cross. Hazards if they change rows in the middle. I was the guy who lured you to the end of the row by pretending to unlock the silver Acura, only to walk away when you got close.

The Word You’re Looking For is ‘Screwed.’

Salon has posted an excellent piece breaking down the situation in Iraq.

If you work with the U.S. or the Iraqi government, you are targeted by al-Qaida. If you work with anyone else, you are targeted by the Shiites. It’s a lose-lose situation. And what’s amazing is this slide has all happened over the past 12 months. It’s pegged to one singular event, the spark, which is the 2006 bombing of the Askariya Mosque in Samarra.

Sadly, that’s kind of the highpoint.

This why I hate seeing shows at Emo’s. Doors at 8PM really means the band you paid to see goes on at 11:30, so when you show up to get your tickets at will call, you’re stuck with an hour and a half to burn.
