Yoi otoshi o! (Happy New Year)

This track by Chris Connor pretty much says it all.

Re: Newtown, CN

Reagan defunding mental health facilities and treatment. Add to that violent video games available to near-babies, growing drug use by adolescents, youth exposure to sick rap crap advocating killing of the "b*****s," almost total lack of gun control. . .and it all adds up. Just about every week, now, there is an event of mass shootings in malls and other public places. Mostly by teen or barely post-teen assassins usually outfitted in goth-like attire. There needs to be a Warren Commission-type congressional investigation of this growing national madness.

My published comment on a story today in the L.A. Times

"All well and good to mourn the loss of clever graffitum on the side of a former car dealership I suppose. But this new Culver City mall will be  erected on the site of the former home of Hal Roach Studios which, for fifty years until its destruction in 1963, served as the filmic home of such as Laurel and Hardy and Our Gang (just for cultural historic starters). No mention of THAT. Who writes this s**t anyway? Next time LAT, please send an adult."
