NEW ORLEANS - 7 August, 2002: My pal Scott, of the raspy and profound-sounding voice, has been a lifesaver over the past few weeks. He's sent my resume around, made phone-calls and helped me brainstorm how to get out of this pit of joblessness. Nothing's panned out yet, though. Mostly, it's just added to my foot miles clocked daily and bouts of impatience and frustration.

Yesterday, he caught me on my way to the park, spiraling into another deep pit of depression. I hadn't eaten in about three days (I didn't tell him that) had no cigarettes and --- after multiple disappointing phonecalls --- could not come up with a single thing to do next to constructively change my situation...MORE

Oakland, CA, USA - A lot of folks love to say thangs like, "Well, be thankful you have a job." Don't you think there's something wrong with that attitude. I have a job, and I do.

Austin, Republic of Texas - American President -- oops! I meant to say Vice-President -- Dick Cheney came out of his "undisclosed, secure" hidin' place a week ago Wednesday to show his face to us reg'lar folks in San Francisco, ya'll. He had the unmitigated gall to say that he'd certainly run for leader of the free world if The Shrub asked him to again. I felt like I was about to gag, fellow Sanitation Engineers.

Let's all just pretend we don't know that Halliburton, while Dick Cheney was CEO, didn't ask us to take a major ass-whupping! Hell, we might as well act like them prisoners down in Huntsville and say "Bend over. Here it comes again!"(BOHICA)...MORE
