OUR 1560TH ISSUE 01.17.19 I woke up in the middle of the night last Friday. Something sounded odd in the bathroom — a trickle of running water and an occasional mini-flush. I dark-walked my way into the loo, where it became obvious that, yes, the toilet was running. I flipped the handle a couple times (as one does) to no avail. So, back to bed I went, resolving to fool with it the next day. Saturday morning, I lifted the tank lid to see what lurked below — and it wasn’t pretty. There was a brick I’d put in there a couple years ago to reduce water consumption and forgotten about. It was covered in moss. At least, I hope it was moss. The bad news was that the flapper thing was soft, fleshy, and pink, and water was flowing around and under it, pretty much unimpeded. Meh. This wasn’t my first flapper-replacement rodeo, so I shut off the water to the potty, removed the gross, slippery flap, and put it in a plastic bag. Then it was off to Home Depot to buy a replacement. I found a nice shiny red one the same size as mine in the toilet aisle and proceeded to self-checkout, where I scanned the item, swiped my debit card, then headed home. Installing the new flapper took three minutes, and the water stopped running immediately. Very satisfying. Feeling like a boss, I went to the kitchen for a fresh cup of coffee and opened my laptop to check the Book of Face. The very first thing that greeted me was an advertisement for something called Tushy, a bidet device of some sort. The ad urged me to install a Tushy and “Join the Clean Butt Club.” Wow. In the 15 minutes since my trip to Home Depot, my flapper purchase had apparently put me in a special, cyber sub-group of “people who repair their own toilets,” and that information had been transmitted into the corporate maw of Big Toilet, which saw me as an excellent potential customer, since I so enjoyed messing about in potties. It was sort of shocking, though I should be used to it by now — as we all should be. We are the consumers — and the product. Our information, our location, and our purchase data is being mined and sold in hundreds of ways. As we drive around, Google geo-fencing alerts marketers that we parked in front of, say, a furniture store. Then, when we next check social media — voila! — an ad for a dining room set appears. Those giant smart TVs, which seem like such a bargain at $499, are constantly transmitting our viewing data — to be sold to marketers who are interested in knowing who’s watching The Rachel Maddow Show or The Big Bang Theory or Dr. Pimple Popper, so as to send us micro-targeted ad messages. A recent article on the tech site Motherboard detailed how phone providers such as Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile are selling geo-location services to just about any company that wants to buy them, including bounty hunters and bill collectors. At least one company, called Microbilt, is selling phone geo-location services with little oversight to a spread of private industries ranging from car salesmen and property managers to bail bondsmen, according to company documents obtained by Motherboard. It doesn’t stop there. Nearly every website we visit collects and sells information about our browsing habits, as do social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even those sites you’d prefer not to talk about.

DAM M IT, M N G Just as The Commercial Appeal seemed to be recovering from years of layoffs and quantities of talent lost to the new, all-digital Daily Memphian, news arrives that should cast a chilling shadow across any burgeoning optimism. As the Wall Street Journal reported, MNG Enterprises, Inc., a hedge-fundbacked media group better known as Digital First Media,“has quietly built a 7.5 percent position in Gannett’s stock and is urging the McLean, Va., publisher to review its strategic alternatives, including a potential sale.” Digital First Media’s largest shareholder is Alden Global, a hedge fund known for buying troubled newspapers and “cost-cutting and job-slashing.” Maybe this goes nowhere. Or perhaps, like this Pennsylvania couple featured in Homes of the Mid-South, who fulfilled a “dream with move to Southaven,” it’s time to right-size our expectations. Again.

STI LL WATN When it showed the potential for controversy, WATN, Local 24 quietly deleted a tweet about Cyntoia Brown, the teenage sex trafficking victim who killed a john when she was 16. WATN’s original tweet stripped all complexity from Brown’s case reducing it to the most sensational elements: “Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam’s decision to grant clemency for a former prostitute and convicted killer is getting national attention.”

Brown was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole only after serving a minimum of 51 years in prison, until 2055. Haslam said the decision came only after “careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case.” The decision was lauded by many, including state Senator Raumesh Akbari who said on Facebook that the move “demonstrates that we in the state of Tennessee can show love, compassion, and mercy.” TH O USAN D S I N AI R B N B S About 106,000 people stayed in Shelby County Airbnbs last year, earning hosts here about $10.9 million, the company reported last week.

WE’RE THE SOLUTION

Q&A Nick Oyler

Projects have “been a long time coming.”

2019 brings new projects, first bike-only traffic signal. There are a slew of bike and pedestrian projects on deck for Memphis in 2019. Nick Oyler, Bikeway and Pedestrian Program Manager for the city, said the projects are designed with the goals of improving connectivity and pedestrian safety in mind. Overall, Oyler said he sees this year as a time for the city to position itself for additional projects and “greater action down the line.” — Maya Smith

“[The Hampline will] be a two-milelong bike and pedestrian project. … Our two most popular parks will be connected with this safe space for people running, walking, and biking.” Memphis Flyer: What kinds of projects are on tap for 2019? Nick Oyler: For 2019, there are five projects that I’m most looking forward to. They’re going to be built and on the ground by the end of the year. Most of them have been a long time coming. MF: Tell me about them. NO: One is the completion of the Hampline. It’ll be an approximate two-mile long bike and pedestrian project that connects the Greenline to Overton Park going through the neighborhood

and down Broad Avenue. And because it’s the Greenline, what it is also doing — looking at the bigger picture — is connecting Overton Park with Shelby Farms. So, our two most popular parks will be connected with this safe space for people running, walking, and biking. MF: So, does this mean people will be able to safely cross Sam Cooper now? NO: Yes. This is why the project is significant. At Sam Cooper, the project will involve the first bicycle-only traffic signal in the city of Memphis. We’re going to be installing them at Sam Cooper and another intersection along the route at Yale. MF: How will they work? NO: It will actually initiate a protected phase in the traffic signal sequence. So, while all traffic has a red light, bikes will have the green light to safely cross the street. MF: What are the other big projects planned? NO: Another one that is not as big in size but is huge from a safety perspective is the Central Library Pedestrian Access project. This will be one

of the first pedestrian-specific capital project, undertaken just for the sake of pedestrian safety. So we’ll be installing what’s called a pedestrian refuge island in the middle of Poplar right in front of the library. It’ll include beacons that can be activated by pedestrians. So now, when you want to cross the street, you don’t have to dash across seven lanes of traffic. MF: Why there? NO: The reason for this location is the high demand with a lot of people crossing the street right here in front of the library. It’s also the location of two MATA bus stops, which are both among the top-five most used stops in the MATA system. The safety record alone justifies this improvement. MF: How bad is the safety record? NO: Sadly, as recently as last March, a gentleman died trying to cross the street there. So, unfortunately for him and for others, it couldn’t be built quickly enough. But, we’re finally getting to it and construction should start in February or March.

Four for the Senate care, all four did their best to wriggle away from anything resembling a commitment to Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, though Chism probably deserves kudos for allowing as how it might be efficacious to redesign the ACA to make it more user-friendly. Chism also gets points for his unique self-description: “I’m the only one who looks like me and talks like me and quacks like me.” Rose gets the honors for sounding both most conservative and most Trumpian when he discounted the ACA (aka “Obamacare”) by saying he would prefer to help create more jobs so as to get people off the public health rolls (by which he apparently meant TennCare), and when he said the best defense to the crisis of abuse via opioids and other drugs would

He seemed a mite inconsistent when he joined the others in desiring to get more of “our money” back from state taxes but disdained claiming any “Washington money” for health care. The two candidates who seemed most in their wheelhouse in dealing with a particular question were Shafer, who dealt with the opioid matter by itemizing her leadership on the county commission in establishing countermeasures that have been cited, she said, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and McManus, who said that whoever wins the special election for District 32 would be taking office in mid-budget season this year and noted that only he had been through a legislative budget season. The GOP candidates were slated to go after it again in public debate at Germantown’s Pickering Center on Wednesday evening.

In the first of two scheduled formal debates this week, the four Republican candidates to succeed newly minted federal judge Mark Norris in his vacated District 32 state Senate seat struggled to separate themselves from each other before an audience largely composed of pre-existing partisans for one hopeful or another. At the affair, sponsored by the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce at the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center, the four candidates — former County Commissioner George Chism; Covington businessman Paul Rose; former County Commissioner Heidi Shafer; and former state Representative Steve McManus — did their best to make sense in a lightninground format in which they had a maximum of one minute to answer thematic questions of some complexity. Asked first how they would undertake the task of representing a district that is equal parts rural and suburban, the candidates complied with short answers: Collierville resident Chism proclaimed, “I understand what the rural life is all about”; Covington’s Rose said, “I recognize that rural and suburban areas exist and complement each other”; Shafer, formerly of Memphis, now of Lakeland, noted that she was “raised on a farm” and knew all about corn, bean, wheat, and milo, adding, “We got out of cattle when I was about three”; and Cordovan McManus said, “I would not forget the little guy” and proclaimed it his mission to open up rural access to broadband. Other subjects covered in the debate were Memphis vs. the Suburbs, concerning which, all four boasted their pride in the suburban municipal school systems while promising both fairness and toughness regarding Memphis. On infrastructure, all four vowed to find means to compete with Mississippi throughways that are more convenient for recruiting industry. Speaking on education, all pledged to see that the best teachers were hired and paid appropriately. When it came to health

As the new session of Congress gets underway, members are submitting legislation to be considered over the next two years. Memphis’ own Representative Steve Cohen has introduced 16 measures to be considered, including a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. The Electoral College amendment brought a swift condemnation from the Shelby County GOP, who used a Brietbart. com link to plead their case. Cohen has sponsored this constitutional amendment several times. He proposed it in the 114th and 115th Congresses. It should come as no surprise that he’s putting it forward now, as a member of the majority. A little history: The Electoral College came about thanks to the “Grand Compromise.” Southern states had a problem: They were really rural. They didn’t have the population density of northern states. They also had another concern: slavery. In 1787, slaves didn’t count for the purposes of apportioning Congressional Districts. As a result, the South’s ability to have an impact on national politics would be greatly diminished. Enter the three-fifths compromise, two Senators per state, and the Electoral College. Thanks to this compromise, Virginia had an outsized impact on national relections for decades. Seven of the first 12 presidents hailed from Virginia. Nine of 16 pre-Civil War presidents hailed from Southern states. The three-fifths compromise and the Electoral College together gave Southern states incentive to increase their slave population to increase their political power in the nation. The three-fifths part of the Constitution was repealed after the Civil War, but the Electoral College, despite its role in empowering slave states, lives on. Since its inception, the Electoral College has favored smaller states over larger states. This holds true today. • Twenty U.S. states, including Texas, California, and Tennessee have less electoral power per vote to decide the presidency than the other 30. • Fifteen states have more power in the Electoral College than their population. Seven-and-a-half percent of the population has 12.6 percent of the Electoral College votes. • The 20 largest states have less power than their population. Seventy-five-pointsix percent of the U.S. population has only 68.4 percent of the power to decide the presidency. This disparity is the rationale behind Cohen’s constitutional amendment. By relying on the popular vote, the majority of the nation’s voters are better served.

1/15/19 6:56 AM

This is the third time Cohen has filed a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. Certainly, he knows it’s a long shot, but as the saying goes, “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.” The amendment would need 290 votes in the House. Currently, Democrats occupy 235 seats. So 55 Republicans would have to join the effort. Then, two-thirds of the Senate would have to agree. With only 47 Democrats in the Senate, it’s unlikely the amendment would even come up for a vote. And even after meeting those two very high bars, the amendment would have to be ratified by 38 states. Fifteen states currently get a great deal more power from the Electoral College than their population warrants. That alone is enough resistance to keep the amendment from being ratified. But there are another 15 states who also benefit some from the system. That brings the total to 30. Some of those 30 states might choose to ratify. But there are plenty of states, like Texas and Florida, who currently lose electoral power but are unlikely to push it forward for purely partisan reasons.

Fifteen states currently get a great deal more power from the Electoral College than their population warrants. Since 1980, smaller Southern and Western states with less than six Electoral College votes have generally favored Republicans. No Republican-led state legislature is going to give away that advantage, no matter how badly it disadvantages voters in their state. The GOP controls both houses in 30 states. Democrats control just 18 (two are split). To get to 38 states, you would need the majority of GOP-led legislatures to approve the amendment, which seems unlikely. But let’s say the amendment did make it past Congress. The amendment would have seven years to be approved by 38 states. That still leaves time for Democrats to gain power and get it passed … even if that’s not very likely. In the end, Cohen is right to bring this amendment forward, even if it doesn’t have much of a chance of moving. By doing so, he’s placing a marker on the right side of history. And if conditions on the ground change to make this more viable, he’ll be ready. Steve Ross is a longtime contributor to the Flyer and proprietor of the watchdog blog, Vibinc.

How to feel better in 2019.

January 17-23, 2019

GET HIGH

Climbing up the walls? Take a tip from Tony, pictured here hanging out at High Point Climbing.

Clinging to a multicolored wall 30 feet above the floor of High Point Climbing, I started to rethink my long-held belief that I am not afraid of heights. “I think the thing most newcomers to the sport experience are the mental barriers there are to climbing, like becoming comfortable at height. It’s a full body workout and a puzzle. It combines mind and body at the same time,” says general manager Tony Levy. Around me are a half dozen people who long ago surmounted their own mental barriers and who are scurrying up colorcoded handholds and foot-steps that define different routes up the hulking 55-foot-tall wall. “We have a team of route setters who spend time meticulously setting up the hold types, the route, and putting them in specific orientations to create different levels of difficulty,” Levy says. The red route I’m following is the easiest, and my safety is assured with an auto-billets which will slow any falls to survivable speed. High Point Climbing has only been open since December 17th, but it already has a loyal customer base. “I think the thing we try to develop most of all is the community. We want to create a place for people to come together and share a passion for climbing,” Levy says. The 35,000-square-foot facility on Humphreys Boulevard is the fourth High Point Climbing location opened by owner John Wiygul, a native Memphian who got into the sport by building a climbing wall in his family’s barn. The first two were in Chattanooga, a center for the sport of rock climbing, and a third was opened in Birmingham. In the short time High Point has been in operation here, they have discovered a pent-up demand in the flat land of Memphis for vertical workouts. “It’s been super busy. With the holidays and kids being out of school, it’s been wild,” says marketing and sales coordinator Kendall Fowler. In addition to the climbing walls that range in difficulty from “I can do that” to “Oh my God!” there’s a full gym and a yoga studio. In the Kid Zone, the intimidating

FREE YOUR MIND Greg Graber founded a groundbreaking meditation program at Lausanne, the first of its type in the deep South. He leads meditation sessions with the Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Tigers. Once a month, he’s flown to Baton Rogue to work with LSU’s basketball team. He’s the author of Slow Your Roll: Mindfulness for Fast Times, available at local bookstores and on Amazon. But, at first, he was pretty meh on meditation. “I thought it was the worst thing in the world,” he remembers. “Really esoteric and a little bit hippy dippy.” But Graber ran ultramarathons and had read an article about how meditation could help. He says that meditation didn’t take away the pain of the long run, but instead put him so in touch with his body that he was able to push himself both mentally and physically. Graber, who has been practicing meditation for about a dozen years, leads classes on Saturday mornings — Saturday Morning Unwind Session at 9:30 a.m. at Church Health Center. It’s one of many of the free/open-to-the public mindfulness/ meditation classes Church Health offers. During the Saturday class, Graber will generally lead the students through a threeminute silent meditation, having them focus on their breath. He then talks and follows that up with either a breathing or visualization exercise. “There’s much more to good health than medical treatment,” says Jenny Koltnow of Church Health. Koltnow says that meditation can be an essential part of well-being and the good thing is that it’s accessible to all. “The powerful thing about mindfulness is that it affects different people in different ways,” she says. Meditation has been shown to relieve stress, tamp down anxiety, and help with insomnia. It’s good for pain management and is useful in beating addictions. Graber notes that the point of meditation is not clearing your mind of thoughts — that would be impossible. “Typically, psychologists tell us we have upwards of 70,000 thoughts in a 24-hour period, which comes to about 48 thoughts per minute. So, our minds are going to be all over the place. The objective is to refocus when your mind wanders,” he says. In terms of wellness, Graber places meditation as a tool to mental health fitness.

“There’s no religious dogma. It’s not hippy dippy,” he says. “Meditation is just following your breath.” — Susan Ellis TRY ACUPUNCTURE New therapeutic modes are constantly being researched, and practices accepted in other times and other, non-Western cultures, are under serious reconsideration. Acupuncture is one of these. While it’s true that skepticism persists about the efficacy of having small needles inserted at strategic points of one’s body — along what ancient Chinese practitioners of the art referred to as meridians — so as to mediate the nature and impact upon the self of chi, the life force, more people in our part of the world are seeking out the technique and reporting positive results. Several years ago, I had despaired of traditional medical regimens for dealing with what were then recurrent bouts of iritis, a severely painful inflammation of the eyes. The standard treatment was to immobilize the pupil by direct application of liquid cortisone and then wait out a reversal of what was thought to be one’s over-active immune system. The acupuncturist I consulted, a gentleman of Korean origin and a pioneer of the art locally, had me lie on a treatment table while he inserted an array of tiny single-use needles at points near the affected eye(s) and elsewhere. Did it hurt? Well, not nearly as much as the iritis did. I could certainly feel the insertions, but, along with them, a kind of tingling, a not unpleasant “give” — enough to give me a sense that some energy field had in fact been engaged with. The bottom line was that the treatment seemed to work. The pain level of a condition I normally experienced as virtually intractable was significantly reduced almost immediately, and the inflammation itself cleared within a day or two. Placebo effect? I don’t think so. I subsequently submitted to acupuncture on occasions related to specific ills and as a general tonic. I can’t tell you exactly how it worked, but it worked. Though some insurance policies require that acupuncture be pursued in tandem with more conventional remedies, the actuarial folks seem increasingly to be regarding it as viable. All I can say is, it’s worth a try. — Jackson Baker HERE’S TO YOUR NUTRITION Preston Butts is a serial entrepreneur. One of his four businesses is the new Downtown Nutrition, which is a sister store to Nutrition Bar in East Memphis and Nutrition Hub in Germantown.

Mental wellness plays a huge role in your overall ability to live a good life. Veronique Black, the office coordinator at the Memphis office of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), says that mental health is as vital as physical health and should be addressed and maintained with the same urgency. “When your mental health is good, your overall quality of life automatically improves,” Black says. “It can be the difference of just existing and actually enjoying life.” NAMI, a grassroots, self-help organization, works to raise awareness about mental health and enhance the lives of people with mental health issues by providing free education, support, and resources for them and their families. NAMI offers issue-specific classes and support groups taught by either volunteer professionals or individuals who’ve lived with mental illness. Topics include depression, PTSD, eating disorders, anxiety, and others. Black says a large piece of what NAMI does is work to “eradicate the stigma” of mental illnesses so that one day they can be treated with the same dignity as other illnesses. “There’s a lot of misconceptions surrounding mental illnesses,” Black says. “That they are a result of a moral weakness or behavior defect is just not true. It’s actually a brain malfunction and should be dealt with. Mental health issues are just like any other issue affecting the body.” Mental illnesses are very common, Black says, citing that one in four people

struggle from a mental health issue at some point in their life. “It’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Black says. “If you’re in a room with 10 people, at least a couple of them will be struggling with a mental illness. Either directly or indirectly, it touches everyone at some point in life.” There are a lot of resources out there, but people can’t be afraid to seek help, Black says. “If your staying in bed for a few days turns into a week in bed and then a month in bed, you probably need to address it,” she says. “If your ability to live a quote-unquote normal life is impacted, then you should really do something to help yourself.” — Maya Smith DON’T FEAR FITNESS Fear was easily the largest barrier to fitness for me in the beginning. I have always been more at home in a bar room than a weight room. But I always I knew I needed take care of my body, and it bothered me. How do I even do that? Will I have to give up all the things that make me … me? I was unsure how to start and afraid of who I thought I’d have to become. I wasn’t some gym-rat meathead or a “sporty” person. What’s this called? How do I use it? Those were two questions I seemed to ask all the time in 2013, when I joined the Kroc Center. But the Kroc staff have always been helpful, patient, and, maybe most important, not judge-y. In fact, the whole place is not judge-y. That seems to be a big but unspoken mantra. Another thing I love abut the Kroc is that it looks like our community in there. All races and genders sweat together in the workout spaces, swim together in the pool, and cheer together at the basketball courts. If the New Year’s sheen hasn’t yet worn off your fitness goals for the year, hop on over to the Kroc for a tour. From MMA to barre to rowing to aqua yoga, it’s easy to find some fitness activity you actually like to do. (Oh, and, parents, the Kroc’s child watch makes it all incredibly do-able.) No, I’m not some bulked-up jock, and I don’t want to be. But I feel better than I have in years. The Kroc has allowed me to define and own my fitness. — Toby Sells TRY GINGER AND TURMERIC Chances are you’ve seen ginger flowering in many a garden. But did you realize it was medicine? While we don’t recommend digging up your neighbor’s ornamentals whenever you have a stomach ache, edible varieties of ginger are easy to find at most grocery stores. Its cousin turmeric is a bit more rare, though local suppliers often have it. It’s worth stocking up on both, as their value has been recognized in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, and clinical trials have confirmed their efficacy in treating a number of ailments. Ginger has long been used to alleviate continued on page 16

general nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and, more recently, post-surgical nausea and chemotherapy-induced nausea. The respected volume Prescription for Natural Healing also notes that it “cleanses the colon, reduces spasms and cramps, and stimulates circulation.” Furthermore, clinical studies have proven its effectiveness as a pain killer; in one, ginger matched the performance of a combination of ibuprofen and prescription anti-inflammatories in reducing menstrual pain. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends it for all of the above uses, as well as relief from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Turmeric, ginger’s brilliant orange relative, may be even more powerful. Its principle active compound, curcumin, has been subject to many studies which largely confirm the efficacy of its traditional use as an anti-inflammatory. Often, however, such studies often use curcumin extracts with much more concentrated quantities of the compound than a turmeric root typically contains. Some dieticians recommend mixing it with black pepper, which facilitates absorption of the smaller amounts occurring naturally. The Prescription for Natural Healing also notes that turmeric protects the liver and lowers cholesterol. And HealthLine.com cites scientific studies confirming curcumin’s power as an antioxidant, its ability to enhance production of brain hormones that fight neuro-degeneration, and even its power to “reduce the growth of cancerous cells in the laboratory and inhibit the growth of tumors in test animals.” Both roots, expecially turmeric, can cause digestive problems if eaten in overly large quantities. But if you’re using them as cooking ingredients, your palate will likely let you know if you’ve overdone it. Chopped, minced, or grated, they can add a new dimension to Asian and other recipes, or give that pot of tea an extra healthy punch. — Alex Greene

GINGER HAS LONG BEEN USED TO ALLEVIATE GENERAL NAUSEA AND MOTION SICKNESS. LAY OFF THE SAUCE I did a “Dry January” a couple of years ago. Yeah, maybe it was fashionable at the time, but it was something I was eager to do. I mean, I’d never punched a cop while blackout drunk on Beale Street or anything. But I had enough shameovers and hangover food to float a boat. Drinking was (and is) the coin of the

realm in my social network. It’s what we did (and do). And I was afraid of that on my first Dry January. Would I hide away at home, twiddling my thumbs? The first time, yes, that’s basically what happened. But my wife and I did a “Sober October” before the holidays, last year. Not only were we able to successfully manage parties and a wedding stone, cold sober, we had a ton of fun, too. I also found that sobriety is a time machine. I used all the extra time I would have spent on drinking and recovering from drinking to push a personal writing project over the finish line with surprising efficiency and a renewed optimism. Thanks, sobriety. All of this says nothing at all of a hangover’s unique ability to tell me chili cheese Fritos are health food and that the gym will still be there tomorrow. Dry January is still very much a thing, and I’m in the sober midst of it now. The companion app is now called Dry Days and can be applied to any month of the year. So, if you’d like to focus, sleep better, have better skin, save money, and lose weight, give it a shot. It’s tough but worth it. — Toby Sells EAT WELL You’ve decided you want to switch from your fried chicken-hamburger diet to something healthier, but you don’t know where to begin. Jeff Lehr, co-author of Feed Your Soul: A Cookbook that Nourishes Body, Mind and Spirit, has some suggestions. He also served as chef and part-time gardener for the old La Montagne natural foods restaurant. “The easiest thing people can do or add to what they’re doing is start buying frozen vegetables,” he says. “Add vegetables and fruits to whatever you’re doing.” He says, “The best thing is to go to your farmers market and pick up whatever’s in season and work that into your diet.” Add dark, leafy vegetables to your diet. “It’s one of the things people are missing. They eat their salads, but kale, for example, is a super foods nutrient.” Cook a pot of whole grains, which takes from 20 to 45 minutes. “Quinoa is high in protein. Brown rice. Millet. Oatmeal. If you cook a pot of grain rice or quinoa, and cook a little extra for four or five days, you’ve got the makings for a quick salad, soup, or stir fry.” And, he says, “Make a little time to prep something extra like a whole roasted chicken or a pot of grains or a pot of beans. Over time, you’ve got the makings for a really quick, easy meal that can come together in 5, 10 minutes.” You can still eat hamburgers and fried chicken — in moderation, Lehr says. He recently indulged. “I had a Blue Bunny ice cream Turtle Bar. Chocolate-covered ice cream bars are just so good.” Lehr will talk about the importance of eating well at 7 p.m. January 18th at Art Body Soul Studio at 1024 South Yates.

Gender Roles

Back then

By Chris Davis

There’s a specific Chicago train platform where Howard goes to connect with his past. That’s where he meets Mike and, after first mistaking him for a panhandler, it’s where Howard learns that this bearded transit stop vagrant is the same person who broke his heart four years ago. Only back then, Mike was a woman named Kate. Filled with questions, Howard becomes immediately desperate to rekindle romance where there was never more than friendship in the first place. It’s awkward for a number of reasons, but primarily because he’s theoretically cis/hetero and already married to Astrid, an unsatisfied artist with a “stripper name” and a history of dancing all her problems away. Howard’s basically a nice, confused guy, who wants to make his fantasy crush work out for everybody without hurting anybody or making things weird for the people close to him. He does both of the things he doesn’t want to do pretty quickly. How weird do things get in Back When Mike Was Kate, the latest Playhouse on the Square New Works@TheWorks winner to see production? Aprons and fuzzy handcuffs weird. In keeping with past POTS@TheWorks premieres, Back When Mike Was Kate showcases top-notch performances by a professional acting ensemble comprised, in this instance, of Joshua LaShomb (Mike), David Hammons (Howard), Brooke Papritz (Astrid), and Ronnie Karimnia as Cameron the transit guy. R. Franklin Koch plays Kate, the grounded “old soul” who ties the play together. Back When Mike Was Kate is a world premiere which means local audiences get to be the first to check it out. They won’t be the last.

Love Somebody By Chris Davis Kimberly Baker doesn’t know how many times she’s seen Rick Springfield in concert. She stopped counting sometime after 40. She didn’t stop attending shows, though, and plans to be in the audience with her mother when Springfield plays Memphis as part of a bigger event called General Hospital Weekend, a Graceland-hosted fan fair celebrating TV’s longest running daytime drama. Graceland is a good fit for Springfield who scored a Grammy for his song, “Jessie’s Girl,” and played Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital. Like Elvis, he has his share of super fans. Baker, who plans family trips around his concerts, is one of the biggest. We asked her to explain how that kind of lifelong fandom happens. “He was everywhere when I was growing up,” she says, talking Soap Digest and Tiger Beat magazine. “I didn’t know his name at first, but he was on Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk and The Rockford Files and Battlestar Galactica.” Shortly thereafter, he was on the radio and Casey Kasem’s weekly top-40 countdown. “He was the first person I ever saw in concert twice in one year,” she says, beginning a long list of Rick-based “firsts.” “Being a lifelong fan has to do with this happy part of my childhood — a time that was fun and supported by my family,” Baker says. Her mom thought Springfield’s “Don’t Talk to Strangers” was a good message for little girls, so in 1982, they both went to see Springfield’s Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet tour at the Mid-South Coliseum. Baker has since taken her children to see Springfield and, at various times, she and the kids have been invited onstage to perform “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” and “I Get Excited.” “If you’re close to me, you probably know a lot about Rick Springfield, or you’ve been to a show with me,” she says. “Or you’ve met him.”

Monterosso had never left Catania. “I was a clerk at the court,” he recalls. “So I asked for a transfer to Rome, just to have a formal excuse for my family: ‘I’m moving to Rome because of my job.’ But the truth was that I wanted to do more in the music scene.” He made a name for himself as one of Rome’s go-to roots-rock guitarists, when the fates struck once more. “A friend sent me a message, ‘Would you like to work with an American guy? His name is Tav Falco.’ I said, ‘What? You mean Tav Falco and the Panther Burns?’ She said, ‘Yes. He wants to record an album in Rome and then tour around Europe.’ I said yes immediately.” Falco sent him a message: “Hey, I’m not a rockabilly or rock-and-roll or blues cover

ith foreigners and asylumseekers now becoming the objects of some folks’ daily twominute hate, it’s worth noting the value of immigrants in the Memphis music scene. Guitarist Mario Monterosso has been in Memphis more than two years, but he’s not the first Italian to seek a fortune in the Bluff City. W.C. Handy wrote of another, “a ragged immigrant boy, a dark-browed Italian youngster called Pee Wee, [who] crept out from under one of the box cars. He had come all the way from New York on the rods.” Later, the youngster came into his own on Beale Street. As Handy recalled, “When I first visited the city as a boy, Pee Wee was running a saloon … and his place became almost a landmark and a legend. Moreover, it was a headquarters for musicians.” Unlike Pee Wee, Monterosso came to Memphis wielding a guitar, but like Pee Wee, he found a home on Beale. Many have marveled at this newcomer’s playing with the likes of Dale Watson or John Paul Keith and wondered what his story could be. It’s a tale of the fascination a boy had with the music of the American South. Hailing from the ancient port of Catania, on Sicily’s eastern shore, Monterosso recalls that “music was part of my family. My great aunt was a very important opera singer in Italy. And my sister was a classical pianist. My father used to write about the opera.” But for the young Monterosso, the muses of the Old World were no match for those of the New. “When I was 10, my sister had a rockabilly boyfriend. My father died in the same period, so this guy became a kind of role model. And the first time I went with them to a concert, I saw this guy named Vince Mannino. With this big quiff and sideburns, and a rockabilly drape. A real Teddy Boy. He was singing ‘Boogie Woogie Country Girl,’ and I said ‘Wow, what is this? I wanna learn to play!’ And little by little, I started.” He found more enlightenment via cassettes. “My first tape ever was of British radio named Radio Memphis — a compilation of Sun records and rock-and-roll. So rockabilly was my first imprint. And that’s when I discovered Tav Falco. A friend gave me this tape, and I was like ‘Wow, what is this?’ The first time I saw Tav was in Catania, in 1989.” Throwing himself into guitar, he played in bands and expanded his musical horizons into jazz, blues, funk, and country. Yet by the time he was 30,

band. I’m something else.” Finding that “something else” to his liking, Monterosso embarked on the European tour, and then a U.S. jaunt. It was a game-changer. “After the tour, when I came back to Rome, I said, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’ That’s when I dedicated my life to music.” And to Memphis. “During the tour, when I arrived in Memphis, I said, ‘I would love to live here.’ I saw New York … I saw Chicago. Very important cities, very cool. But people are always running. Here, there’s still something between people. And when I find myself at Sun Records or Sam Phillips, recording albums, it’s something special. It’s like if you love art and you find yourself in Florence or Rome, working at the Colosseum or the Cappella Sistina. Wow.” He pauses a moment, then adds, “And it’s pretty cheap, too.”

Combining community, creativity, and compassion to fight hunger in the Mid-South

he winds of change have blown through the Memphis bar and restaurant scene over the past couple of years. Some old favorites have closed or, more appropriately in the case of the Buccaneer, been burned and razed. From the ashes rises B-Side Memphis, opening in the seemingly unlikely location of Minglewood Hall. Minglewood has been home to a random hodge-podge of businesses over the years, but not many of them have been a beacon shining bright to the crowd that now finds its way to B-Side. It hasn’t been for lack of trying on Minglewood’s behalf: We are just naturally skeptical of ample parking and clean toilets. These amenities are outside of our comprehension when coupled with our treasured local acts. “We’re doing music every night,” general manager Brad Boswell says. “The focus is on Memphis music.” In a market that hasn’t always been kind to out-oftown bands, this makes sense. Boswell books B-Side himself and stacks each bill with those treasured local acts. He explains that B-Side isn’t just a restaurant or a bar, but a place to go check out music. The focus on Memphis doesn’t end with the tunes, either. The bar serves Pancho’s cheese dip, hummus, and feta dip from nearby Casablanca, kolaches from Howard’s Donuts, and meat pies made by local musician, tattoo artist, and apparent meat pie connoisseur Mark Svetz. Boswell and his brother, Ben, have a full menu planned for the spring, but honestly, can it get any better? There is no stopping you, dear patron, from dipping your locally sourced meat pie in the Pancho’s. As if B-Side’s focus on Memphis music and beloved local dips wasn’t enough, Boswell also corralled some familiar talent. His staff is full of former employees of both Old Zinnie’s and the Buccaneer, so pounding beers at B-Side will feel, for many of us, just like home. B-Side has a happy hour starting when they open at 3 p.m. each day and running through 8 p.m. It features $1 off of everything, excluding the already-affordable High Life pony bottles. On Saturdays and Sundays, they open at 6 p.m. Each night of the week, they’re open until 3 a.m., allowing for maximum hell-raising and music-listening. B-Side itself isn’t the cramped, grubby bar that we’ve all embraced in the past. Its ceilings are high, its bar long, its floors hardwood. It’s a space that finally affords us the square footage to rock without fear of the walls caving in or the floor giving way.

Boswell wasn’t kidding about the whole “it’s a place to see music” thing. While there are plenty of tables and booths, there is way more emphasis on space to stand, inviting us to actually pay attention to what’s on the stage. On the night that I went, the crowd stood quietly, enraptured by the peaceful sitar-playing of Naan Violence, the first of a four-band, all-Memphis bill. Each Monday, Devil Train takes the stage, yet another tradition borrowed from bars long gone. And yeah, it’s an actual stage! A dedicated space that doesn’t require moving tables or stacking chairs!

Is this where we are now, Memphis? Have we finally traded in and traded up? Have we finally gotten what we’ve long deserved? This is a bar that has finally answered to all of us who have grown up. We’ve long stood in puddles of bodily fluids in the dive bars of Memphis, smoked in spaces without fans or ventilation, suffered a from-behind soaking from a domestic beer. We’ve gabbed loudly through sets, stumbled into restrooms with no toilet paper, and hugged walls stained with years of sweat and smoke. B-Side has taken all of us in, shown us the light, and graced us with its actual adult bar presence. We loved our falling-apart-at-the-seams dives, and we still love the ones that remain. B-Side Memphis, however, is the beautiful new bar that has all the feel (and all of the people) of the good old days with less of the trash and germs. We’ve arrived, guys, and there are plenty of meat pies and parking spaces here.

Muchacho is the cosmic ideal of either Corona or Dos Equis, wonderful on its own without any assist. Still, a squeeze of lime gave it a little pop. Don’t be a beer racist: If it’s okay for the Belgians to do it with oranges, it’s okay for the Mexicans to do it with limes. The other selection was a Winter Ale called Denim Downhiller. According to the Urban Dictionary, the term describs a skier of the Appalachian alps who wears jeans instead of snow pants, is rockin’ a mullet, and almost certainly a denim jacket. This ale is a tribute to that guy. Budweiser may be the king and Miller the champagne, but Denim Downhiller is the mustache of beers. It’s earthy and toasty, but I’m not entirely sure why it’s called a Winter Ale. It tastes like a nut brown to me, and fans of the brown/red ales will feel right at home. Perhaps the season to which the Good People are referring is the one in LA (read: Lower Alabama). They really don’t have anything we’d call a winter down there. Denim Downhiller was a little sweet for my tastes, not quite syrupy. At 5.6 percent ABV, it is higher in alcohol than the Muchacho, but nothing that’s going to knock you off the slopes, as it were. At 18 IBU, it has got a lot more hops to it as well, but a toasted malt counterweight balances this beer out. Speaking as an alum — and a former resident and unintentional bootlegger from the great state of Alabama — I would advise you to hurry. After Clemson managed to out “Bama” Alabama the other night, the state might just drink itself dry.

ny beer nerd will tell you that one of the great things about the whole craft beer scene is traveling someplace and discovering some new and fantastic brewery while you are away from your hometown go-to. The downside of this hyperlocal arrangement is that when you go home, you’re out of luck if you crave that beer you found while traveling. Like so much else in life, craft beer nerdery cuts both ways. I have some friends, real baseball geeks, who will not return from their spring training trip in the droopy end of Florida without a couple of cases of Pulp Friction Grapefruit IPA from Motorworks Brewing. So, passing through the Madison Growler shop the other day, I was pleased to see two selections from Good People Brewing out of Birmingham, Alabama. Good People have been making beer, legally at any rate, since 2008. I dropped in on them a few years ago, unannounced, for an interview. They were strictly local then, but were kind enough to show me around and talk beer. Alabama was pretty early — by Southern standards — in adopting laws friendly to craft brewers. It shows. If you can’t get out to North Carolina, you could do a lot worse than drinking your way around northern Alabama. They also pointed out that said changes were recent enough to make all the “Murffbrau” I brewed up in my room at the University of Alabama entirely illegal. If you can’t get to Alabama, at least you can get to Midtown, where two Good People beers are currently on tap at the Cash Saver. What is interesting about their Muchacho is that most craft brewers like to harken back to the great beer brewing cultures of Europe for their inspiration. Good People looked south of the … wall, steel slats, questionable logic? … (Well let’s just call it the border for now) to make a drinkable Mexican-style lager. It’s light and crisp and doesn’t linger very long on the palate. It will pair beautifully with the sort of tacos you get on Summer Avenue. Or for that matter, fried chicken or catfish. With an ABV of 4.8 percent, you can drink enough to battle the spice. The theory that we put lime in Mexican beer because it inherently needs help is simply not true.

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

Sympathy for the Devil

Amy Adams (left) and Christian Bale star in Vice, the new biopic about former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Christian Bale transforms into Dick Cheney in the black political comedy Vice.

hat do you do about a problem like Dick Cheney? The former Vice President of the United States sits at a pivot point in history. He’s the connecting link between the presidencies of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. He led the team that led the United States into an ill-fated war in Iraq. He was the original architect of the War on Terror, now 17 years old and counting. How do you tell a story that huge, that complex, and that damning, to a popcorn audience in a couple of hours. Writer/director Adam McKay starts by calling Cheney a “dirtbag,” then gets more specific from there. McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and director of pop-comedy juggernauts like Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, is probably the best qualified person to make a movie like this. The Big Short, McKay’s 2015 blow-by-blow of the 2008 financial crash, is told with wit, sarcasm, and a whole lot of voice over. Even as a news nerd, I felt like I came out of that film feeling both entertained and like I understood the world better. In Vice, McKay applies the same methodology to

Cheney’s life story, but the results aren’t nearly as clean cut. The story opens with Cheney (Christian Bale) getting his second DUI for driving piss drunk in a swerving Studebaker on a rural Montana road. He’s flunked out of Yale for drinking and brawling, and now he’s a lineman, drinking and brawling his way through life as a flowering dirtbag. But his wife Lynne Cheney (Amy Adams) is having none of it. In a crucial scene that will echo throughout the film, she orders her mother out of the room and dresses him down. “Did I choose the wrong man?” she hisses. Then we cut to 9:30 a.m. on September 11, 2001. It’s the first of many time jumps in this byzantine screenplay. Cheney is the senior official at the White House while George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell) is reading My Pet Goat to a room full of Florida school children. When he gives the authorization to Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell) to shoot down any civilian airliners in American airspace, he does so in the President’s name. It’s a clear usurpation of authority, but when Condoleezza Rice

(LisaGay Hamilton) challenges him, all it takes is one guttural growl to shut her up. The meat of the story is Cheney’s transformation from dirtbag drunk into the consummate power player. Narrated by Jesse Plemons, whose onscreen identity becomes the setup for one of the film’s most powerful visual gags, the screenplay is anything but subtle. Bale has already won a Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Golden Globe, and his unlikely performance as one of the great villains of American history is worth the price of admission alone. He’s surrounded by A-listers giving pitch black performances. By the time Amy Adams starts doing Shakespeare as Lynne Cheney, you’ve probably already identified her with Lady MacBeth. Carell

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy who gets the most close-ups as a heroic figure, even if he’s a war criminal who set his country on a path of ruin. For all his weight gain and intentional ugliness, Christian Bale is still an incredibly charismatic performer. Like Leonardo di Caprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, one might end up liking him, even though he’s clearly a monster. But while having a charismatic leading man might be bad for the purposes of political rhetoric, it’s great if you’re trying to make entertaining cinema. Vice may be dense, divisive, flawed, and maddening, but it’s definitely entertaining. Vice Now playing Multiple locations

and Bale recreate Cheney and Rumsfeld’s creepy chemistry. LisaGay Hamilton makes an uncanny Condi Rice; Tyler Perry doesn’t really resemble Colin Powell, but he does manage to embody the former general’s conflicted countenance when he was put in the position to lie to the United Nations on the eve of the Iraq War. This has been a season of political films, ranging from Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You on the good end to Dinesh D’Douza’s Death of a Nation way down on the other end. Like Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, Vice kind of flies apart at the end, as if the filmmaker just couldn’t quit while he was ahead. McKay’s fumble is the result of the basic problem with designing a polemic around an antihero — we’re hard wired to see the guy

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

IF YOU BURIED A FAMILY MEMBER AT GALILEE MEMORIAL GARDENS CEMETERY (“GALILEE”) OR YOU PAID FOR A BURIAL AT GALILEE FROM JANUARY 1, 2011 THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2014 PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED This Notice is to let you know about a proposed partial settlement of a class action lawsuit against three funeral homes in the Akilah Louise Wofford v. M. J. Edwards & Sons Funeral Home, Inc. et al., Case No. CH-14-0197 lawsuit. (the “Wofford lawsuit”) To learn more about this partial settlement or to obtain a copy of the Claim Form you will need to send in to get money, please visit [www.galileeclassaction.com] or, you can call 901-859-1009 and these documents will be mailed to you. The folks entitled to get money out of this settlement are called Class Members in this Notice.

Summary of the Settlement Terms Three funeral homes have agreed to settle the Wofford lawsuit and pay Class Members $7,150,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The lawyers handling the case for Class Members are going to ask Memphis Court Chancellor Kyle to award $30,000 from the settlement funds to the families that helped get these three funeral homes to settle because they took time out of their lives to help everyone get money for the harm caused out at Galilee. Also, the lawyers working on this case have never been paid and they have spent about $400,000 paying expenses on the case out of their own money. These lawyers are going to ask the Court to pay 37.5% which equals $2,681,250.00 of the Settlement Amount to them as their legal fee and are going to ask to be paid back their expenses. Chancellor Kyle will consider all of this and he gets to decide how much the lawyers will be paid in this case. Chancellor Kyle will have a final hearing on this partial settlement to consider whether it’s fair and should be approved so everyone can then get paid money but there is nothing he can do to force the defendants to offer more money in settlement to you. The final hearing will take place in Chancellor Kyle’s courtroom at the Shelby County Courthouse on Adams Avenue at 10:00 a.m. on March 4, 2019. Until Chancellor Kyle decides about the lawyers’ fees and expenses, we can’t tell you exactly how much money you might get from this settlement. In order to get any money from this settlement, you must have buried a family member at Galilee or paid for the burial of someone at Galilee between January 1, 2011 and January 31, 2014 and you must fill out and mail in a Claim Form by July 15, 2019. You need to mail it to: CMM Settlement Solutions, P.O. Box 341316, Bartlett, Tennessee 38184. You can hire your own lawyer and object to this settlement if you don’t like it but you must mail your written objection to CMM Settlement Solutions by February 15, 2019. If Chancellor Kyle approves the settlement it is FINAL, you will be stuck with it and the three settling funeral homes will be released from all liability in this case. The case against the rest of the funeral homes will continue to go forward and you might get more money from them later depending on a court’s ruling. If you have any questions, you may call 901-859-1009 or you may visit [www.galileeclassaction.com]. You can get a copy of a Claim Form on the website. If you don’t have the internet, please call 901-859-1009 and someone will help you get the forms you need to get money from this settlement.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR WRITE THE COURT, THE CLERK’S OFFICE, OR ANY DEFENDANT ABOUT THIS NOTICE OR THE SETTLEMENT. ONLY CMM SETTLEMENT SOLUTIONS HAS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO FILE A CLAIM Para un formulario de reclamo en Español, por favor llame al 901-859-1009 visite nuestro website (www.galileeclassaction.com).

THE LAST WORD by Randy Haspel

Off the Rails!

A year has passed without me complaining about the phrases and words I hear on a regular basis that cause me to go “off the rails.” I know it may seem like a “nothing burger” to you, but I am mystified by “that moment when” one person said something clever, and it metastasized into slipshod nationwide verbal swill. There are plenty of “bad actors,” so let’s “play the blame game.” There are some repeat offenders that “rolled over” from last year but, “believe me,” there are plenty of fresh ones that would “literally” gag a buzzard off a shit wagon. “Does that make sense?” So. The award for the major annoyance for the second consecutive year is the word, “so.” So, when did this affectation take hold? Ask someone a question, and if they’re pundits, reporters, or teens in the mall, they all seem to have the need to preface every sentence with “So.” For example, “How’d you get that scar on your face?” “So, I was at home trying to train the cat to leap through a ring of fire, and she went for my eyes.” If you haven’t noticed yet, now you will. Dropping the “T” in the middle of a word. This may not sound impor’ant to you, but it’s cur’ains for the lingua franca. I mean, are we speaking La’in now? I first thought this was just a cultural thing, especially among the British, and it is. This irritant is called a glottal stop, and it’s been studied in England since the 1800s. I’m not sure how it reached our shores, but it spread through every strata of society like a norovirus on a cruise ship. Maybe it was Vladimir Pu’in. The Adult in the Room. All the grownups have left the building so Donnie can haz cheezburger. “All alone” is the pathetic whimper of an insecure man. But don’t worry. Soon there will be all the “executive time” one inmate can stand. Moving the Goalposts. I saw this once when Tennessee beat Alabama “back in the day,” but they tore that one down. The only other time I’ve actually seen the goalpost move is when a field goal kicker doinks one off the crossbar like the Chicago Bears did last week. That was “literally” a “game-changer.” Woke. This is what happens when oblivious lawn servicemen crank up those goddamn leaf blowers at 7 on a Saturday morning. Sweet Jesus, didn’t this city used to have some sort of noise ordinance? It feels like I’m trying to sleep on the deck of an aircraft carrier. By this time, everybody’s woke. Yeah, no. This expression is the common-law spouse of “Sorry, not sorry.” Which is it? Have some gumption and pick a side, “just sayin’.” LOL. This was cute back in the chat rooms of America Online, but now that there are a variety of smiley-face emojis, this acronym has become archaic. However, people are saying this in public now. Don’t say “LOL,” just go ahead and laugh. This includes ROFL, LMAO, LMFAO, and SMH LMAO. Of course, all this is IMHO. Drill down. Cable TV hosts use this expression when they’re fixing to get to the bottom of something. We’ll be hearing a lot more of this phrase in the coming year, but out of professional courtesy, it should be reserved for dentists. References to Game of Thrones. Would you believe that there are people who aren’t into Fantasy/Science Fiction and, thus, don’t know what the hell you’re talking about? I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, and I don’t like dragons. I am also uninterested in Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all the Marvel superheroes movies. Does this make me a bad person? I can quote large swaths of dialogue from The Godfather, but I don’t just throw it out there casually. And I’ve frisked a thousand young punks. MAGA. Fuck you and your made-in-China hat. No collusion. “No puppet, no puppet. … You’re the puppet.” Guardrails. See “The Adult in the Room” above. Thoughts and prayers. I know you mean well, but instead of praying you might consider actually doing something. And they’re always “going out” there somewhere. Shouldn’t they be going in? Just for variety’s sake, after the next mass murder, change it to prayers and thoughts. This illuminates your priorities. Fake news. It’s curious how the supposed “fake news” keeps turning out to be true. It’s strange that “Individual-1” will only grant interviews to Fox News personalities. Judge Jeanine Pirro will never cross-examine him. He likes Fox and Friends because there’s always a young blonde co-host sitting on the couch in a short dress with her legs crossed. All the time. “This Rusher thing, with Trump and Russia” gets truer every day. All this bombast and middle-school taunting was merely a diversion to distract from the very real news that the president of the United States was under investigation for being a Russian asset. We are living through a nightmare “the likes of which the world has never seen.” But “chillax.” Special Council Mueller is about to “take it to the next level,” literally. Randy Haspel writes the “Recycled Hippies” blog.
