Big Brother is Watching My CAT
Dec. 14th, 2006 06:08 pmToday in the mail I got a big pile of begging junk. I get a great range of junk, from tree hugger to gun toter junk, and lots of hippieshit for sale. I contribute to almost no one, but sometimes will send $20 cash to a cause just because I'm inspired. The last thing I want to do is give money to a politician which they will then spend on harassing the hell out of me.
So TODAY I get junk mail from the Alley Cat Allies, begging for my money to help make the lives of some ferile CAT better. And I wonder, how (the hell) did THEY get my address?? I have never subscribed to Cat Lover's Magazine.... But I did buy cat stuff at a PETSMART using a CREDIT CARD.
Looks to me like the great database in the sky tracked my CAT to this barn, then sold my information to whoever would pay. Now the clients of the data hoarders have commenced to begging. If I get a barrage of cat shit I'm going back to CASH ONLY. And I'm never ever going to Petsmart again.
As far as I am concerned, my next sushi meal is a LOT more important than some ferile cat buried under a bureacracy.

What a show! He was supposed to start at 8pm but was late. The set was simple. Biafra wore a remote mike, and paced the stage in front of a table covered with notes and magazines. No backdrop, no distractions. There were just a few lights on him. The purpose was "spoken word". Biafra looks to be in his 40's, slightly paunchy but certainly energetic. He's a white guy with a square jaw and a very expressive face.

Election Mailing Irony
Nov. 7th, 2006 02:34 pmSo maybe two weeks ago I got a placard in the mail from the Renzi campaign (incumbent Republican) linking his Democratic challenger Simon to the Man Boy Love Association. The ad was clearly directed at my homophobia button, only I haven't got one. I don't remember getting any mailings from Simon: if I did, they weren't THAT entertaining. But just yesterday I received a placard from Renzi accusing Simon of a "smear campaign" and "gutter tactics". He's labelling her as a "radical" and "liberal" while he is coming across as a dickhead. It's as if he has a loaded gun, and can't figure out which end of it to point at his head.
