I've been tracking Novelty Theory once again. The resonance of April 15th of this year to the beginning of the American Revolution was less than convincing.
But now, yes now, we have another resonance. This week, particularly the middle of this week, was supposed to resonate with the French Revolution. What do we get? Tragically, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has died. Even more tragically, the woman who is probably best remembered for performing action sequences in less than optimal support, Farrah Fawcett, has also passed away. Perhaps most tragic of all, the loyal side kick of Mr. Entertainment himself and the man who every year before state run lotteries were legalized promised to make one lucky person into a millionaire, Ed McMahon died. You might say that this is a far cry from rounding up aristocrats for the guillotine. In the case of Michael Jackson I could argue that it was one of the longest, slowest public executions ever broadcast.
While I wanted to bring up the resonance, I don't want to dwell on these happenings. So here's something to take your mind off things.
Let them eat...

Oh, and there is also that whole bit happening in Iran right now.
But they're not 'Mercans so it doesn't count. And they don't worship the right god. Okay it's the same god, but they believe that his bastard son by another man's wife is a mere prophet, and a secondary prophet at that. We're talking about the people who popularized grabbing your crotch and showing your highbeams in public.
That video is good stuff.
