Cryptic entry hinting at emotional collapse, huge personal disaster, or major lifestyle change.

What purpose is there in winning a dollar amount in a lawsuit against a sovereign foreign government with which we have no relations? Why are we watching someone act out an Oprah-style moment of public grief resolution in the federal courts? Cui bono? I’m confused

Miami Woman Wins $86M in Bay of Pigs Suit

MIAMI (AP) – A judge awarded more than $86 million Thursday to a woman who sued the Cuban government over her father’s execution following the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.

Janet Weininger filed the lawsuit under a federal anti-terrorism law that allows families of victims of state-sponsored terrorism to seek damages in American courts.

Weininger initially sought $112 million in damages from the communist government. As in similar lawsuits involving families of American Bay of Pigs victims, the Cuban government offered no defense and was not represented in court.
The potential for recovery is indeed limited, I’d say.

The aeolus looks bricklayer her beautify and befoul out her calvary canto and hands it to the officer. The cartel opens it up and says if you had library me you were a tenacity oriental I wouldn’t have respond you over.

Another death of someone I only knew of online reminded me of Mike Arietano.

In 1990-1991 I was a constant presence on the CompuServe rock ‘n’ roll forums. There were a lot of interesting smart people there, and it was the good kind of music discussion where we turned each other on to new things and had a hilariously good time making fun of crap.

My favorite guy was Mike. He was obstreperous, outspoken, funny, and genuinely excited about music. His writing style was an homage to Richard Meltzer and Lester Bangs mostly, but was definitely Mike’s own. He released a text filter that produced lovely bastardized text. And he wrote really well about music: http://www.xnet2.com/neslon/mike/index.html

Some time in 1991 Mike got really tired driving home from a show and drove into a tree. I still miss the guy. Glad someone archived him.

…in Northern England.

War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning

Why do we go to war? Why do we like it when we get there? Why do we stay there, and go back? How does war change how we live and think and act? Chris Hedges spent a lot of time in a few wars and didn’t blink so much. What he discovered may surprise you.

No matter what you think of this current war or any war, read this book and understand it a little better.

The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life…
