Behind the Lines in the Seventh Circle of Hell

Today I'm in LA today taking a break from the market. I'm on a cultural safari looking for bad plastic surgery, overpriced consumer goods, and the rotting seeds of the Amercan Dream. First stop: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Listen for my cackle in the back.

Quick Note: Just saw that Microsoft got his with a $1.52million judgement. Yay! Of course they're going to appeal. Bill Gates could pay for it with his debit card but they'll drag this out 'till Alcatel-Lucent is on life-support and then Ballmer will personally come in and pull the plug.

Also just noticed that all of my stocks are in the toilet today. I'm going to save my vitriol for when I get back to Seattle. I must concentrate on documenting the liquid nightmare that is Los Angeles. Police sirens are blaring outside my window. There's a hobo sleeping on the hood of my car. Central Casting just told me I'm not "leading man material" because I don't have enough hair. (On my head, that is. I haven't talked to the lady from butt-casting yet.)

I am here to cause trouble. Check your papers Monday morning.
