The Dead Father

Why is it always the Canadians? A Time Magazine article from my era gave readers who love their contributors' whimsical irony a gift, highlighting Quebec separatists with mocking affection in a news item, and nearly an odd 40 years later, their 35 millions paying lip service to an out-moded Commonwealth facing extinction, the logger patsies are serving their revenge cold. Why Justin Bieber is a phenomenon makes me reconsider Niall Ferguson's admiration of the Protestant work ethic. Nevertheless, a comparison of Kathryn Grant from Anatomy, and Rohl's admirable performance as Abigail Hobbs illustrates what a paradigm shift has occurred, almost revolutionary. Mary Pliant is almost more of a victim in the historic black and white than Lee Remick, while Abigail is complicit. Anatomy handles the blow against this enigmatic stenciled in daughter the way things were handled in Eisenhower's age, with Stewart's pragmatism resolving what he could for the girl. The boundaries were then still in place. In Fuller's world, those boundaries still exist, but the coping mechanisms are more subtle, a blood and guts of poise and fine dining. We still lack the capacity to cope with the terror we're capable of inflicting on ourselves.

Padre had a rather lightning fast departure from Myrtle Beach to South Philadelphia and back again, so fast, and of such contradictory impetus, it makes my emotional stability seem positively advanced; it reunited the siblings, however, so I am reset back into place as the eldest with such fanciful and hard-edged wounds. The ailing patriarch may collapse with the strain of all this jet setting, but I am back in command, for all the good that will do. Hmm. Google took all that data on me and indicated it is my friend, giving me a birthday doodle. Of course, if the tech giant was really my friend, it would give me a unique methodology toward the restoration of self-support. If I was sleeping with this my incisors would be pearly, my breasts nimble with implants, my buttocks apple hot, a Stepford wife? No money for vanity. Dental insurance might as well be a Lexus Infiniti. Deport the fucking turnip. If he was Mexican he'd be in a holding cell by now.
