Talking Heads - Take Me To The River
I dunno, oh! yes I know, see Flannery O'Connor's The River
Blast it! okay, yes, read the whole collection! but for The River type "The River" in the search field (in the blue nav line, then it's page 23).

Television
MSNBC: Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow et al. 24, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dexter -- Gee, I've kinda gotten into some TV this last year.
Books
Classic: Hardy, Faulkner, Joyce, Mann, Hammett, Chandler, Cain, Woolrich...
Modern: Cormac McCarthy. What a writer! (only minor current mis-steps: No Country...stinks). The Road is much closer to 'real' McCarthy. Caution: McCarthy's earlier works are not for the weak/light-hearted.
Classic SciFi, ever ongoing: currently Dick again Minority Report; earlier Ubik, Man in..., 3 Stig, and Do Androids. Really great stuff.
The Ex recommended Tim Power's Last Call -- very good!! I look forward to the next.
Heroes
Hmmm... anyone who fights the status quo.
The most heroic word in all languages is revolution.
Eugene V. Debs

About me:

I do NOT accept as Friends people I don't know.
I occasionally add an artist, someone with an artistic bent, or someone representing an artistic position.
Young female 'hotties', please stop 'inviting me', 'cuz you just get 'denied'!! Very best to you, but I will not add to your 'friend number'.

The Specials - It's Up to You

Librarians wield unfathomable power. (see LA:W below)

...years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now: That while there is a lower class, I am in it; and while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. (my punctuation)
Eugene V. Debs

Most everything in life is a choice: Non-action is non-choosing.

This is really about me, but it kinda works for The Party as well ;>

And then...

People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.
