  You're right about SNL, but I say Carlo is Andy Kaufman. Andy lives.

  The most frightening haircut of my life ...

  by dedalus in

  2. friends

  this morning i went for a haircut, and since my usual stylist (caroline, quick with the clippers and a joke, does magic with my floppy mop of hair), was out, i told the receptionist i'd settle for whoever was available.

  after a moment i was handed over to "winnie," whom i recognized as a witness from a neighboring congregation -- alas, not before she'd roughly dunked my head in the sink.

  i was pretty sure she recognized me, too.. "so how have you been, dedalus," she said.. "um, just fine, and you?

  Yes, Archer is a funny, witty and very bright guy. But he also zealously supported the most heinous crimes of the Thatcher regime (support and comfort for South Africa's apartheid regime and the fascist Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, bloody U.S. supported right-wing terrorist attacks on democratic movements all over the 3rd world, the Falklands war etc…). Although he will probably be held in a minimum security country club, I hope is he is jailed in a maximum security jail where hard-core inmates can have a little fun with him.

  outnfree: I was a communist in my youth. I was also in a punk rock band and was known in the band, for obvious reasons, as "Commie Chris". The name stuck. If I had to label myself, I would say that I am now a libertarian socialist, or anarchist. I realize that those terms probably don't mean much to most people, and I don't want to bore you with a long explanation of my beliefs, but I'd be happy to give you the short version if you want.

  A very cool bunch of people (not suprising - this is Toronto after all). It was very nice to meet all of you. Thanks especially to Peter for organizing, and to those who came from out of town to the Big Smoke.

  Circe: I did not misunderstand you and my “thank you” for your greeting was genuine. Again, thank you. My “I don’t give a flying fuck…” rant was facetious. I simply meant that I could not agree more with you that debates and discussions about important principles and ideas are interesting and worthwhile, whereas name-calling and personal attacks are as boring and irrelevant as earnest debates about whether Jesus died on a stake or a cross. Nor do I care whether anyone cares that I don’t care … Blah, blah, blah.

  Muzicman: I agree with you, even pricks should have a right to speak. In some cultures the greatest insult is to ignore an offensive person. I'm suprised at how many people engage in debates with nitwits instead of ignoring them.

  Thanks Circe. I don't give a flying fuck whether anyone gives a flying fuck what my political beliefs are. And I'm sure no one gives a flying fuck whether I give a flying fuck whether they give a flying fuck …

  TR: I’m not sure what you meant by your reference to McCarthy, but whenever I hear REM’s “Exhuming McCarthy” (“…have you no shame … have you no sense of decency?…") I am reminded of authoritarian organizations which fraudulently claim to promote freedom and a free exchange of ideas, including the WTS. Red baiting still exists, even in Canada - my work as a lawyer often involves high-profile, controversial causes, and my opponents (usually governments and large corporations) often try to label me or attack my character, rather than respond to factual arguments. Sound familiar?

  BTW, has anyone ever told you that you look a little like Trotsky?
