Phony Hallmark Cards Are Better Than Real Love Notes

"Everything about [women] is a lie and you expect me to tell the truth? 

Fuck you!" 

- Chris Rock

Also, Hunter S. Thompson had two rules, relevant to feminist suggestions for Mother's Day:

"Beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway." 

"Never do anything the person standing in front of you can’t understand."

In other words, never trust what she says - or let her know you can think.

Live a lie and force everyone else to - just like women do - but insist everyone call it "truth," no matter how outlandish it is, whether it has any support from reality, or anyone dies.

Then, give her a hug.

And - please - be thankful that "sugar and spice" you're protecting yourself from

I'm Slowly Posting: There's A Woman In My Life

This is my sister, Marva Holiday, and she and I have finally been able to freely communicate after decades apart. We're both foster children, so we've a lot to talk about - we haven't even gotten around to this guy yet - so we're like two Chatty Kathy's ("I'll call you when I wake up") with more and more stuff each of us has to know!

It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me.

This is Marva with The Rascals. (It seems like she's worked with everyone at one time or another. Tonight I got a great story about Hunter S. Thompson and David Crosby of Crosby Seals & Nash: Hilarious.) Anyway, it's in the blood.

I'll still be posting, but probably won't get back to the regular pace of things until this dies down, if it ever will:

Because I think, finally, I'm in love again. (Shut up, you pervs,...)

Uh-Oh: Angry Hippie, Man

Hunter S. Thompson Would Kill Himself Again

"In his long-running fever dream about America and its abundant pathologies, the bald man, with the tumbler of whiskey and head full of Schedule 1 narcotics, captured not only a mood — your government is not your friend — but many realities of civic life, most notably that if candidates were willing to do what it takes to get elected, they would probably arrive in office corrupted beyond hope."

-- David Carr, in a review of the new documentary, "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson," in the New York Times
