There's a big difference between being an adult looking for a job in the 1980s and reading GOP propaganda about how great a guy Reagan was. If you worked in Finance in a big city, the 1980s were pretty awesome. If you worked for anything else out in the sticks, you said "Oh, this again." when 2008 rolled around.

Yep, Gen-X and Millennials have no blood feud. They both fruitlessly complain about Baby Boomers, though, which is equally nonsensical. It's very hard to pigeonhole entire generations of people spanning a variety of races, classes and nationalities. Still, there are some characteristics that are delightful about each…

I think a lot of Trump supporters just wanted Liberals, Democrats and Progressives to feel the same way that they felt when we elected Obama to be president. So now we all know just how bad they felt. To coin a phrase from the Republican School of Success: Mission Accomplished.

Thanks for killing the oceans with your corporate nanobot sunscreen, Earth Killer!

No! No! I…I don't want to be there!

I knew a guy that would drive to the Taco Bell in San Francisco's Mission District to buy product and then eat it. That's like having a free ticket to Disneyland, but driving over to Knott's Berry Farm and buying a ticket — so you can eat the food there.

It's also profoundly irritating to hear people say that Hillary was a "war-monger" and was somehow more likely to get us into a war. Do I need to explain how stupid that is? Or should I just let the next eight years clarify it?

OK, that was a troll line for sure. I mean "Democrat" in the operative sense — a party that often seems to exist only to be kicked around by openly corrupt right-wing authoritarians. Most of the folks that voted for Trump chose him because he wasn't a Democrat. Most of the folks that voted for Bernie did so because he…

I think we all went into the voting booth hoping to vote for something that wasn't a Democrat. The country is more united than ever, but can't admit it.

Clowns are harmless. The real sickos are the guys with the ventriloquism dummies. Those people are fucked up.

I got a few chains and I'm getting more. I bought a dog collar at the punk rock store.

EPPAI is a street musician who makes me happy

She really adds the Republican street-cred that is otherwise missing from our ensemble.

Ah yes, the company White Elephant. Every company has one drone so damaged that the White Elephant is their sole source for a present under the tree this year. Once said drone has selected a gift, someone from HR will quickly steal it from them and stare deeply into their face as it crumples in pain. Merry Christmas…

My band accepted. They were desperate and we needed the cash. We'll open the show by digging up Karen Carpenter's corpse. Then she and I will sing a duet called, "You Voted For It, Now Suck It," which is a four-hour Jazz odyssey built around a single chord. We'll close the show with that too. If they like it, we'll do…

I never suspected that the 80s would come back thirsting for vengeance. But I guess I should have seen it coming after all those mean things I said. Is it too late for a heartfelt apology?

A good time to read science fiction, but a horrible time to be any sort of mass media nerd.

This sounds very much like a charming coffee shop I used to live a block or two away from in the lower Haight. Organic coffee, surly waitstaff, thrift store furniture, wishes-it-was-FourTet music playing. That place had everything. And it really blew up. That is, it really blew up when the meth lab in back…

Anyone remember how Arnie's run for Governor basically boiled down to how you felt about his movies? That was a warning.

Is this going to be the new "Mein Privileg"? Do we all have to buy a copy to have lying around the house — to never be read? And then years later we'll say, "I couldn't get past the first chapter, but I guess I should have read the damn thing because he laid it all out on the page."
