A Bullet Point New Year
Answers are easier to digest when someone actually asks for them first. Since I’ve already got the answers to almost every question never asked…

• The urinal sink with a window at Albertini’s in Spokane
• 10 million Cliff Fiscal t-shirts
• Schools are cheaper to fund than endless war and Bank of America
• Toothaches are constitutionally mandated
• Try a bigger size
• Lockheed Martin
• Clyde Drexler
• American Cheese
Hasta luego and don’t eat what you can’t pronounce.

Post-Occupy Is Just Like Pre-Occupy
2007 in Portland was a bit like 1975
it was pre-occupy
but post-Vietnam
2012 was even less like 2007 than 1975
it was post-occupy

and not yet post-Vietghanistan
2014 on the other hand
will still be post-occupy
but not all that much different from 2004
2007 in Portland
it was Pre-Post
right before it was
Post-Pre
