The First Chappelle

Her eyes were green.-- Harrison Ford, still killing replicants

 

Since I am not working on anything I want to be working on, and can forget about timeliness with my scaly brush burned ass, which markedly hasn’t made me comatose yet, awaiting my 60th birthday this winter in livid fear, hating my cowardice, let me make just a brief clippity -clop down an alley where my trot is at best tentative.

The first time I ever read about Dave Chappelle, he was allegedly having mental health issues, going to and fro on a plane. Then I saw a bit of his improvised skits on WPHL, and you will get “eh,” with a shrug. He doesn’t need me to defend his edgy agitation when it comes to our inability to strike on our ironic discord for bemusement, but 1st Avenue’s sanctimony about canceling his live appearance over his jokes about  transsexuality is absurd. I have also been irritable with Rand Paul’s unique Kentucky bourbon flavor of late, but will walk that irritation back when it comes to challenging the Levine orthodoxy when it comes to gender reassignment. Paul was willing as a physician, to step on a progressive IED, and that takes courage. Richard Leland Levine is not a woman. Dysmorphia is a disorder, regardless of the fantastical games writers like to play with it. This Assistant Secretary takes hormones to enhance breast tissue, suppresses his testosterone, and he is in charge of public health? The German intern I knew, and lived below for many years, went insane before she died as Erik, As for Chappelle, some promoter believed in the man and helped him get to where he is, so shouldn’t his audience decide his value on the merit, rather than the venue? Now I've earned some reest for spasmodic contractions. These cannot be transitioned.
