The summation of technology

So, some touristas in town for a COSTCO Convention (we'll just let that one stew for a while) make a wrong turn and follow their GPS to wherever it takes them...in this case, wetlands, a boat ramp and water. And some people wonder why I miss the Pacific Northwest. The Shire of Ectopia was guaranteed to provide things like this on almost a daily basis...

Crusader AXE does have other things on his mind, of course, besides missing Ectopia and the onset of summer here at the Crossroads of Opportunity. It went from windows kept closed and pleasant enough to 98 in like three days, and the hundreds are not far away. One thing on my mind is the continuing saga of Anthony Weiner. It's not on my mind a lot, but enough to be an irritation. The inimitable Matt Taibbi over at the Baby Boomer Paper of Record has promised that the Supreme Court of Assholedom is going to decide the extent of Weiner's Assholeness. It's going to be an interesting and erudite discussion similar to the one on the subject of "Is water wet?" I want the guy to go away, and I find the comparisons to the Republicans absurd. I go along with Bob Herbert on the Maddow show who said that he expects politicians to be hypocrites, and just expects better from Democrats. 

I have other concerns, of course. However, a lot of the stuff I'm seeing seems to fall into the "Water is Wet?" category. Pakistan is arresting the people who told the CIA where Bin Laden was? Really, now...if the world's greatest Democracy can get its shorts in a note over Bradley Manning possibly leaking some low level crap to Wikipedia, why should we be surprised that a state dominated by the Military and the Security Forces would get a bit perturbed at the people who betrayed their biggest possible embarassment? Seriously, the Pakistani government would have been better off saying, "Yeah, we knew where he was. We had him in a lockbox, and he paid us well. Not as well as you guys, but..." Forget saying that Binny and his Jets were cooling it down the block from the Pakistani West Point. THEY WERE HANGING OUT THE EQUIVALENT OF ARLINGTON OR FAIRFAX as far as the Pakistanis were concerned. Hell, ever hear of the Farm, the CIA training site? Bin Laden was an 8 iron away from the Pakistani version of the farm. We're doing a great Louis here, being shocked, shocked, shocked that the Pakis are corrupt and not quite sure what they want to happen. Now, they're arresting the usual suspects...

Also, my friend Sheri Miller has released a new CD, The Winning Hand. I love Sheri and her music to death, but I hate this one song. Hate is too weak a description -- I think she has the potential to be the Mitchell or Ricki Lee Jones of the decade, and then she does this. For some reason it's popular in some circles, and I guess it has potential to attract some listeners....Of course, both of those gals have pissed me off at times musically, but I listen and worship from afar, so..... Anyway, these ar from the same CD, and are superb, from her release party for the new disc. Enjoy...
