Does This Make Sense?
Ellis and me ended up in Whispering Meadow trailer park, in Afton, Indiana. Yeah, we had a house, a reg life, but we got in too much credit-card debt and lost everything. The trailer next to my brother Harley opened up after the old people who lived there died off. We moved in the next day. (It was better than the $330-a-month motel flop.)
Everything was going okay. Then Andy, the park owner, threw a chili cook-off at the community center. Everyone, (nearly all 64 park residents!) brought a big crockpot of chili to share. Now Ellis by this time (we had lived there under the constant threat of eviction for 3 months) was steamed and he was drinking beer and he left the party. I said good riddance.
That’s when all hell broke loose. Ellis plowed his Dodge pickup right through the plate-glass windows. 27 people died on impact. Another 9 were injured.
The authorities were on the scene immediately. Ellis was no where to be found. I gave them the names and addresses of Ellis’ relatives. Still nothing (although the cops did do two raids.)
Everyone in the park was pissed. They hated me. But for some reason they went after Harley. I guess it was because Ellis and Harley were friends. Anyway, Harley is a Vietnam vet and he has the interior of his trailer decorated in expensive Vietnamese tapestries, and he has war paraphernalia. Some said he had an arsenal in there...shotguns and other rifles including automatics and at least a handful of hand guns. They lined every war, they said. Some joker even accused Harley of having live grenades.
Now I love my brother but he does have a bad rep, especially when it comes to slapping around exwives. The big porno collection wasn’t a good thing either. Okay he is quite a bastard.
So to quiet the trailer park scags and rags and hags, the authorities gave up on Ellis and went after Harley. They found him hiding in a dug-out hole under his trailer. He is now up for trial.
It doesn’t seem right that Harley should be paying for Ellis’ crimes but police will serve up a criminal to appease the public. Especially when he had no WMDs.
Ellis is still at large.

It's all in the fingers
In my new noomadic mode I have been posting through computers of family and friends. They have asked me to stop because of the government spying. So now since I have no personal connection I will have to use the library or cozy up to strangers just to do a post. I don't say bad things. I just try to be truthful. I guess truth can be scary.
Have a good holiday. Catch you on the flipside.

Despite 2nite I am Hopeful...Why? Dunno
Bush’s “good grandfather” Christmas speech didn’t work. Suddenly we are to believe he has a heart? I know the Republican’s think worker bees are ignorant easy-to-take simpletons, but we are not that gullible.
Bush is the spawn of Barbie the Heartless who said the people in the arena in New Orleans were doing very well. Poor people? Give them a gumdrop and they are deliriously happy.
They failed New Orleans. They failed locating bin Laden. They started an necessary war.
I don’t believe one of the many anecdotal stories Bush related tonight. Politics...magician tricks... nothing but lies.
What has happened to this country is dangerous. We no longer believe in any of it. The fear-mongering, the lies, and dishonesty bolstered by arrogance...all to feed more green into the pockets of a few.
This war never had any logic to it from the beginning, for me. And now to hear my Republican friends say they no longer back their party is profound. Every one I talk to says the same thing: Republicans and Democrats...no difference. Our government is rotten. The media consorts. It’s all just a big Rove gang.
Washington is Hollywood East. We have no reality beyond those dying in an under-reported war.
I am curious as to what we should actually be focusing on? The slimy undercurrent. That is where truth lies.
Spy on this.
