So much ambivalence. Liked Saban at LSU, liked Obama as a candidate. Felt weird when Saban left for the NFL only to come back to the SEC just not LSU. Understood the rational and didn’t hold it against him. Felt like I wanted something else from an Obama presidency. Same thing, understood the real world that he was operating in and the actions he was forced to take. 
But still, go to Hell Bama.

Getting a helmet from the Alabama football team, Obama joked “I’m probably going to need a helmet between now and November.”
Won’t we all.

I live an aquarian life, or is it aquaculturallist? Whatever, look at the pretty stack of crawfish sacks I caught.

Just a nice death of American agrarianism song from The Band.

Seed: What underpins your optimism that people might eventually embrace a no-growth economy?
We’re encouraged by a number of studies by economists and psychologists on happiness—almost all show that beyond a certain threshold, further increases in GDP really do not increase self-evaluated happiness. They do, of course, continue to increase environmental costs. That gives us some idea of what’s enough. Whatever that amount is, it’s a lot less than average per capita GDP in the United States. And this, of course, is a highly contentious point. People really don’t like to talk about limits to income. We’re now willing to talk about a minimum income, but we’re not quite willing to talk about a maximum yet. Yet if the total amount of economic growth is limited, then that should be on the agenda as well.

Saw Cults tonight, and thanks to a buddy realized Go Outside and Lola are quite similar. Awesome show, if short.

In the last 12 months, Eddie Vanison has played a recurring character on the HBO series “Treme,” and he has solved crimes as a detective for the Mandeville Police Department. But neither of those experiences quite measures up to what has become his favorite: masking Indian on Mardi Gras with the Hard Head Hunters tribe of New Orleans’ 7th Ward.
Vanison on Tuesday morning unveiled his latest suit.  Velvet and gold, its beadwork depicts him fighting off humans with crab claws for hands trying to yank him down near an inscription warning, “Caution haters beyond this point.” The suit symbolizes the 37-year-old’s efforts to fend off negativity in the world, and it is the product of sewing for endless hours and suffering countless  needle pricks.

I have often, both publicly and privately, advocated the wider use of birth control methods in order to reduce the illegitimacy rates and the consequences. It is my hope that state governments will begin to appropriate large sums to educate people to the need for such devices.

If the name of your blog is CuntsnBlunts there is an expectation of quality. One assumes the delivery of two powerful things would be forthcoming from the site upon visitation. 

This was not the case. 

I would have even been happy with some sort of analogues. 

Nope. 

Police profiling I can get on board with.
