A quick visit to Wikipedia reveals that there is an entry devoted to the Citadel of Solitude… but they are unaccountably silent on the subject of Garyman’s Citadel of Unreality. Does anyone want to fill the gap? Come to that, is there a Wikipedia entry for Gary yet?

Gary! I’m so glad you’re back! Were you busy real estatin’? We were kinda worried about you. i feel better, knowing your citadel of unreality is intact.

I’m so tired and mildly trashed. Went to a CD release party after working all day, must sleep now. Sleep hard. Sleep deep. I’m kind of suffering through post election withdrawals, I think. My bad habits are starting to creep back in. Tomorrow, nothing but natural foods and healthy choices. (hey, wine is totally natural.)

This was a totally pointless post, except for my good wishes to Gary. I do apologize. good night all. Blame it on the rum.

My worst suspicions about clowns are confirmed. Those red noses and water-squirting lapel flowers and big floppy feet are simply a cunning veil for their plans of world domination.

If they really did this, I would find it frustrating and exhausting to no end, but the reality is even worse. They don’t really argue, since argument requires, at a minimum, providing some sort of support to back up a claim’s validity. And as for passion — y’know, I just don’t think they have it. They have heaps of self-interested fear and gobs of power-lust, but genuine passion? I dunno. I’m trying to think of an example of someone, anyone, on the right who actually argues in such a way that I sense he (or she) is passionate about the ideas up for debate. Searching . . . searching . . . nope.

It also will be the title of my auto-biography, as well as the accompanying debut solo punk-prog concept album.

Thanks, mikey, I’ll send you a comp.

This is what makes US politics so fascinating for us on the other side of the ocean. It’s like trying to make sense of a cricket match. You start wondering, Are there actually rules here, or are they just making stuff up as they go along?

I mean, a week or so ago the right-wing rhetoric was warning us against the bogey-woman figure of someone called Nancy Pelosi.At the time it seemed that she was an all-powerful scheming fiend concealing herself behind the smiling face of the Democratic party… a female Svengali who would waste no time after the election before revealing her Far-Left Agenda, seizing the Levers of power, installing her henchmen and cohorts and vassals in every important position, and sending American politics straight down the path to socialist serfdom.

Now, however, Gary (or one of the Garys) tells us of a feeble, ineffectual politician called Nancy Pelosi whose wishes are regularly flouted by her party. If it were not for Political Correctness and concerns for the handicapped, we should be laughing at her impotence and lack of testosterone.

Are these the same person? Just wondering.

Americans flatter themselves that they are the root of all planetary evil.

A great way to kick off, but sadly Krauthammer concludes that, much as we may like to, we simply can’t take credit for all of the violence and death around the world.

This is the clearest sign yet that Pelosi will be a great Speaker. Whatever Gary says, the opposite happens.

Hey Gary, how does it feel to deal with the reality that your hero Karl Rove got absolutely schooled by Howard Dean? Really, what do you have to say about that?

Oh! I almost forgot. Gary, Chad Castagana called and he wants his Sega Saturn joystick and his Prussian Blue CD back. Turns out he’s going to have a lot of unscheduled time on his hands.

But I thought you told us last week that the election would be invalidated, Gary? And before that you assured us we would lose. You keep moving the goal posts, Gary. Kinda makes everything you say worthless and meaningless.
