Nathan Tyree: crows
Humans have become a lot like crows. We let someone else do the killing, then after all the heavy lifting is done we come along and eat the remains. We are carrion birds. I like crows, by the way. They are imposing birds. Big. Dark. Strong and opinionated. And, they only assist. Not killing is, I suppose, a good thing. They just clean up the mess. Crows are the janitors of the animal kingdom.

I need new shoes.

We're getting a lot of rain. It is the cast off bits of Gustav.

In a while I will be drinking one black and tan after another.

I like Mike Huckabee. I am not kidding. Despite his flaws (he is a Republican, a fundie and worst of all a preacher) I get him. I understand this guy. He reminds me a lot of my brother-in-law who is also all of those things. The other things that both Mike and my Broinlaw John are, are funny and likable. Last night Huckabee made me sad. I think I watched him sell his soul at the RNC.

Palin was a flop last night. The crowd in the building liked her, but she fucked up in every way possible. The speech will not have been well received by actual Americans.

I got a new Amnesty International sticker yesterday.
