I loathed his politics, but was grateful for his mode. There is something to be said about how eloquence and precision are greeted amongst the Right vs. the Left, but I am too tired (and very ill still) to do it today.

I love one of the 1965 photos the Times published with the article. It seems strange for such a conservative to have been so beautiful.

Will the coming week feature encounters with drunken judges, passive-aggressive spies, semi-repressed cat people, and codependent enablers? Perhaps. I'm not sure. But I can state more authoritatively that you will have to deal with at least some of those characters in your dreams. And that means there may be aspects of your own psyche that resemble a drunken judge, passive-aggressive spy, semi-repressed cat person, and codependent enabler. If you find that's the case, I suggest you open up a dialogue with them. See if you can get them to pitch in and lend a hand to your long-term goals instead of undermining you the way they are now.

Really? No shit? What part of my psyche would that be, exactly?

Hahahahahaah.

George Clooney has dinner at some random reporter's house. Most interesting thing about it to me? The few slight commentaries on power dynamics.
