If you live in a surveillance state for long enough, you create a censor in your head

Rouhani says...

...and I bet I can already guess the American and Israeli reactions!

What's worse? Misspelling 'learners', or not understanding that the Bible is a book?

(Thanx Matt!)

Ginsberg, Huncke & Orlovsky at Allen's farm in Cherry Valley

HH To Ginsberg - 1946 - (Season In Hell)

Between 9 & 10 P.M.

Allen,
Quite annoyed with finding you not in. As well as wishing to see you—I would like to know whether or not “the Burroughs” station coach has arrived—and where one might contact either Joan or Bill—and of course—preferably—both.
My reason for seeking the information from you is primarily because I am rather anxious to avoid Garver or Spenser.
Please as soon as you are acquainted with specific information—make an effort to let me know.
On my way from here to visit with Vickie.
Herbert
P.S. Borrowing—“Season in Hell” —

If there was ever an album deserving of a 25th anniversary reissue it is Max Q's, unfortunately Ollie Olsen was just on Facebook saying that the album is still tied up in the minefield that would appear to be Michael Hutchence's estate. Sad

Owen Jones: The best way to fight the EDL's anti-Muslim bigotry is by showing solidarity on the streets

Tommy Robinson says you can't blame the EDL for the few extremists in it yet he blames entire UK Muslim populace for few extremists in their midst. Asshat. And how is he getting this much airtime in the UK?
