Sweet

I loves me some Labor Day chupacabra:

But the roadkill she found last month outside her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra.

I, too, have a freezer that is hidden from curious onlookers. Doesn’t everybody?

Meantime, there is no late-breaking news on Sasquatch. Sad, that.

TIME Mulitmedia | The 30th Anniversary of Punk
Punk, prepared for your mama’s consumption.

Punk music shouldn’t have anniversaries. I shouldn’t be nostalgic for it. It was an enormous, easily-ignored generational spasm against the Eagles, Boston, Journey, Toto, etc. I still have the Ramones and the Pistols on my iPod — I don’t have those others, and I never miss them.

Another Ostensible Hero…

…shows his ass.

Says ‘civilians’ should be limited to five-round capacity guns. As an NRA board member, he has to go into damage control mode, and says he meant that just for hunters. Maybe so – Texas has a five-round mag-capacity limit on game-hunting centerfire weapons in the field. He’s old, maybe he got confused. I get confused, too. That might not even be the law any more, it’s been so long since I went hunting.

The problem is he said it to the gel-head pencil-necks at Texas Monthly. The problem is the attitude towards ‘civilians’ by cops and other LEOs. It’s universal. And it doesn’t help.
