That's the reason why too much money in politics makes each get more intense for there view . It's like a game of one up . There is only one club and we are not in it , but we attack each other like we need to win . 

I'm old enough to know only way to win is play for ourselves.

RIP to the legend. I loved The Sting as a 10 year old moviegoer, although it was eclipsed by Paper Moon which came out that year too because I kinda crushed on Tatum O'Neal who who was also 10 at the time.

Claudia Cardinale, the famed Italian actress, passed away on Tuesday. Not sure which one of her movies - quite possibly "Once Upon A Time In The West", or just as likely "The Pink Panther" - sparked my initial crush in my early, prepubescent years. But I just knew she had "it":

"Ciao bella". RIP

I know I'm pro-2A and anti-superstitious, but I also believe in freedom from religious persecution.

Fucking rednecks.

And three more dead in a North Carolina mass shooting yesterday. Both the NC and Michigan shooters were former US Marines who served in Iraq.

I despise and condemn how the current administration and the GOP have emboldened this hate and violence.  I read stories like this almost every day, it seems.

RIP to Susan Lucas, a.k.a. Soo Catwoman.  Her image was pasted on SO many memories from my early days, she was a punk icon in the UK.  I saw her image so many times, and loved her style.

She even did (tried to?) some singing; I liked the pics more than the song....
