This is exactly why I hate the Republican party, So much of their ethos is based on the idea that anyone who needs help is lazy or a crook. The "Welfare Queen" lie is the classic example. It will never change. They will never change. They are loathsome in their superiority and faux piety.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

To relax between big projects, I play around a lot in Photoshop and sometimes make imaginary products. If you've read Sandman Slim you'll recognize the band. I took the sheep skeleton shot in the desert somewhere east (?) of LA.

I’m catching a matinee of Bugonia. When I ordered popcorn, the guy asked if I wanted butter. When I said no he said, “Good. You get the stuff I just popped. The butter people get yesterday’s because they can’t tell the difference. Lesson learned.

By the way, for folks who haven't figured it out, the name Skull Valley Sheep Kill comes from a real incident that occurred in Utah.

Holy fuck, Youtube. I start a video to watch Woody Harrelson eat increasingly punishing hot sauces and am instantly jolted into a HOT UKRANIAN WOMEN WANT TO MEET YOU ad. When did you start dabbling in human trafficking? And is this just a hobby or an investment strategy because my 401K is shit.

The first mulled cider of the season was a success. I used Aspen spices and a shot of dark rum. For those who always ask, here are the books and blu-rays on the coffee table. Lots of good titles in both piles.

I've been thinking about Warren Zevon. He's all over Sandman Slim. Here are 3 important songs.
DISORDER IN THE HOUSE is about Stark’s entire wild and messy life.
KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART is Stark’s song to Candy when he’s gone.
For me, DESPERADOS UNDER THE EAVES is the best song ever written about LA.

Last night, Warren Zevon was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His work was a big influence on Sandman Slim and there are a lot of very obvious references to his work in the last couple of books. Warren also wrote my favorite song about LA.

I'm pretty sure I first read Clive Barker's BOOKS OF BLOOD when there was only one volume. Now there are six. I've owned many copies of them over the years, so I wan't sure I needed another, but Grady Hendrix's afterword makes this new edition worth picking up.
