Knock it back and have another one.....

If my wee lil' roomate hadn't made off with the digital camera I could show you folks my fine booze bottle collection, courtesy of sloppy predrinking nights in my filthy lair with assorted punks, skins and scum.......But you'll just have to take my word for it- simply magnificent and a superb addition to any second-hand busted-up entertainment center!! The lineup thus far:

-Pabst Blue Ribbon
-Rolling Rock("low-carb"- yes it IS that bad, sorry Twoballs...)
-Killians
-Coors Light
-Flesh Tone Jumbo Dildo w/ Scrotum(..not a bottle but it snuck into the lineup anyway...)
-Strongbow
-K Cider
-40 of 'da Schlitz
-Malibu Pineapple Rum
-Heinecken
-Dos Equis
-Guinness
-Miller Light
-Buuuuuuud
-Presidente

....Since my only worthwhile commentary on the recent sorry farce that is "electoral politics" in the States was two entries back, I won't begin to get into it....Personally, occasioned by the whole shitful spectacle, I'd been devouring accounts of some instances that are the complete antithesis to the working-class apathy and hypnosis that were so much in evidence here- inspiring accounts of the riots in Paris in '68 and Argentina in 2001....I'm hoping some research will help me solve the gordian knot of which OBJECTIVE factors lend themselves best to opening the door to an active proletariat- I've never agreed with the old 2nd international-style "objectivist Marxist" bullshit that the more impoverished or repressed the working class becomes the more likely it is to take action...In fact, recently looking at Paris as a model, and seeing as how (relatively) material rich Western proles would have to reject not capitalism's poverty but rather its "false prosperity"(Debord shows the way again....) one could make a case that a stable proletariat with the kind of leisure time only afforded under 40s-70s era social democratic policies is a prerequisite for the class then being able to question capitalism in a fundamental manner...That's to say, kiddies, that us poor working slobs may be pissed and on the move when we're crushed enough by the neoliberal deathtrap economics of today and the 1800s, but what we agitate for in those cases seems to be small, concrete and reformist: higher wages, the bare ability to survive, salvaging even basic reformist trade unionization......................

....hmm, I'm spewing out half-formed ideas with no point......not too sexy, kids......this is a sign I need a shower and a deeeeep, coma-like sleep..........
