How to start sprawl!

This lamp post reminds me of this quote right here from Alex Marshal:

"A city's internal transportation system -- the layout of its streets and roads, the layout of streetcar systems and subways -- determines the character of the city, how its citizens live and work.
Build subways and people will live in dense neighborhoods and walk to corner stores; build broad suburban streets and they will live in subdivisions and drive to Wal-Mart."

Sprawl is an awesome example of market failure and its negative impact on a community's quality of life and environmental sustainability. But don’t try telling that to the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal or anyone who worships the God of the Free Market.

Presenting The Next Governor of New York

Here's Hillary last weekend hanging in western Pennsylvania, getting her drink on with "bitter working-class voters." I like how she's holding the shot glass. Her lips are full of anticipation and regret. It's a look of being thrust into the moment. Like, "Oh fuck, what kind of rot-gut is in this shot glass? Damn working-class voters! Can't even serve a fine elite Scotch. This is gonna be some nasty shit. Where's some sniper fire when you need it?"

Aiming for a Random Post

This post is about yoking three elements: adrenalin- and caffeine-addled respect, a gunslinger's approach to make-believe, and highly attuned bullshit. I have no idea what that means, but I've been crummy about consistent blobbing. I owed me one. There I have it. Done. Boom. Over and out.
