- New obamapostates? Anyone? No?
- Saw that story first on my Verizon 3G iPhone.
- Let me save the spook in his cubicle in the big black building off the BW Parkway and MD 32 time: I called me wife, I called my kid, I texted my brother, I texted one dear friend, I texted another dear friend, I called my parents, I texted the plans for the overthrow of America to a Hezbollah pal, then called him to make sure he got it.
- UPDATE! On the story.
- UPDATE! Trained for totalitarianism.
- UPDATE! Has a prominent Democrat called yet for an investigation on how this information on the program was made public? Asked at 1:26 PM EDT 6/6/13.
- I am almost certainly wrong, 99% probability I'm wrong, but this Michelle Obama versus protester story stinks of FAKE! on so many levels it wasn't a stunt, think how FAKE! it'd stink if it was a stunt.
- UPDATE! On the above. Not the part about me sensing FAKE! on the heckling Michelle Obama part.
- I have no idea who Rex Hupple is, but this tweet about the Michelle Obama Affair that appeared in my timeline is true, or at least as true as I can believe since I won't watch either MSNBC or Fox.
- There is only kayfabe. That's the key swerve of the past ten years, the granting of unlimited digital reveals which are real and therefore reflective of your true worth versus the power's willingness - fucking eagerness, tiny you - to remind you or how puny you are, you, me, kings, clowns, hobos of our Stringtowns.

- UPDATE! Yes, I know yesterday was Laurie Anderson's 67th birthday, a song didn't fit yesterday's post, meant to post this to this post from the start but forgot:
- Mr Alarum got this Fur's request in after the deadline, but he's a bud.

POLITICAL REFLECTION
Howard Nemerov
No bars are set too close, no mesh too fine
To keep me from the eagle and the lion,
Whom keepers feed that I may freely dine.

To be small, common, cute, and live on shit,
Though the cage frets kings, you may make free with it.
