Read Morethe only way a pile of shit knows it's important is if you make it feel that way
To the people paying attention to what Rush Limbaugh has to say......when you pay attention.....you give him a reason to say it. The only way a pile of shit knows it's important is if you make it feel that way. These piles of shit know what they are doing. You know how a program gets a 40share-controversy. This is like the Imus thing, taking him seriously makes him feel as if he has something important to say. He lost his show only to start another show and that's probably what'll happen to Rush, he'll be silenced for a short time only to say something stupid and insulting again. Doesn't anyone listen to the ocean anymore?

Read MoreThe Ghost Of Shelley, In NYC
What do an anarchist, a feminist, a promiscuous atheist vegetarian poet and a horror story writer have in common? If you answered ‘the Shelley Family,‘ you’re half right. Because the New York Public Library in Manhattan has all sorts of very cool materials belonging to Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, and Mary's parents William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft on view these days, for the first time in America.
How cool? There's diaries and letters and such, interesting enough. Jewelry too, and locks of hair. And part of the manuscript from Frankenstein. And how about this -- a teething ring made out of gold and coral, for old Percy Bysshe himself.
It's a chance to catch up with some 19th century poets who were rad and edgy when the molten days of the French Revolution had barely cooled down to a crust.
Check it out. Now through late June, at the main library, Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.
sneakers and the great unknown
When I got to the Staten Island Mall yesterday there was a huge line of people waiting on line, overnight, to buy the new Michael Jordan sneakers. People wonder why occupy wallstreet did not work, it's because most of the people in this country are complacent and satisfied with the current situation. If you want to get people to change you don't shout out a bunch of cute slogans or take away their rights, you take away their sneaker choices......you'll see this country change.......
