San Fran Vacation – Henry Miller Library

I stopped by the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur and picked up a few things. The library is basically a gift shop in a small cabin built on one of Henry’s friend’s place. Henry had a place close by in Big Sur. They also have a small stage and put on perfomances. Philip Glass played there this past summer.

The one thing I noticed about Big Sur was that there is a lot of young wannabe hippies, and they don’t like to work too hard. For instance the clerk at the gift shop had to be interupted from eating or smoking everytime someone wanted to buy something or ask a question – he must not work on a commission.

I especially liked the computer monitor crusifix below.

Elitist!

Didn’t they have a scarf with elephants at Neiman Marcus?

Why would America’s favorite hockey mom wear a neck tie that screams DEMOCRAT????

For the $150,000 the RNC spent on wardrobe for Sarah Palin and her family, you’d think they could have found something that coordinated better. I’m sure Wal-Mart had something a little more politically correct, but who would buy their clothes there? Sarah proved she shops at the big W, but only for diapers.

Sarah Palin has a problem. She says out of one side of her mouth “Wal-Mart moms unite in pride”. But sorry, that’s not good enough for Sarah.

Temper, Temper Now Dave

I did not have a chance to look at the agenda before Monday night’s Sioux Falls city council meeting, so when this came up in the video, I had to rewind and watch again. Apparently the mayor added an appropriation after the council already approved it (which some councilors viewed as ILLEGAL). Kermit thanks the clerk’s office for catching it, then Kermit catches Hell from the Mayor. And of course the Mayor’s attorney, ah, I mean, the city attorney backs him up and takes the blame for it (one more reason why I have serious concerns about Dave’s political appointees). Attorney Amundson says that Dave did not direct him to do it (you’ll have to turn up the volume in this part of the video). Yeahhhhh Right Robert.

One of the reasons that Abraham Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents was because he didn’t appoint his friends to his cabinet. You would think a good Republican(?) like Munson would know better.

Hardy, Harr, Harr.

Here’s the video;
