Dad visits and leaves, the web stays and stays
My dad is visiting. He just told me he could've killed Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza. Back in 78 or 79, Dad was working in Managua. While giving a presentation for an engineering company, for a second, Somoza turned his back on Dad. "I coulda got him one good karate chop." Most men think they have one good karate chop in them, I've found. Dad also likes the public bathrooms in NYC, "these johns in the park are nicer than the ones we've got at home." Unfortunately, true. The House Johns at Team Kilmartin cannot compare to the ones in the Central Park Zoo.
I hate the web. It used to be my friend and now it's a thing that needs constant maintenance. Either I have more of it to read or more of it to post. It's not fun anymore. I miss newspapers, I miss having an attention span. I am keeping a private blog about KilBaby, for family members, who are really the only people interested in the color and frequency of his shits. (Light brown, twice a day).
Salon wrote a great article about the terrified leftwing bloggers criticizing the New Yorker because some people might misinterpret the magazine's satirical cover of the Obamas. I would like to add that in comedy, every public person is a target for lack of character assassination. Even the ones you believe in, donate money to and can argue have plenty of character. Comedy shouldn't play favorites. Put that Salon piece on your internets/webs/YouTubes to-do list.
Monica Crowley stole my stuff!
Remember my little Moveon.org parody... well, right-wing radio host Monica Crowley played on her show and told her audience, "we put together a little spoof there of that MoveOn.org where the woman holds up her baby..."
It's all explained here.
