I’m Not Drunk – I’m LCing Watching the Timberwolves get quashed and maimed last night by Kobe and his crew of pillagers and giants was more then I could stand. Surely we can do better than that?! I threw a gallon of vitriolic laced polemic tone poems at the cathode squawk box and still my …

Those costumes the Mardi Gras Indians wear …
No Sleep: Hit the Ground RunningOk. Contrary to the internet rumor mill, I am neither dead nor wheelchair bound.
