UML of Ginsberg's 'Howl' 
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by 
madness, starving hysterical naked, 
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn 
looking for an angry fix, 
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly 
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, 
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat 
up smoking in the supernatural darkness of 
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities 
contemplating jazz, 
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and 
saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated, 
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes 
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy 
among the scholars of war, 
who were expelled from the academies for crazy & 
publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull,
who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, 
burning their money in wastebaskets and listening 
to the Terror through the wall, 
who got busted in their pubic beards returning through 
Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York, 
who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in 
Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their 
torsos night after night

alcohol and cock and endless balls, 
incomparable blind;

This one's for Jack, since it's mainly bile, but also analysis...

This morning, while driving in to work, I decide to see what the former sports station 760, now Boulder's Progressive Talk Air America affiliate, had to say.  Well, this is what.  Marc Maron (I believe) was very adamant about how they're “not going to be obsessive about electoral fraud ... go to black box voting dot org ... contribute money... we're not your hate puppets” -- basically all in one breath.  Second, as I stopped to get a bagel, he started in on how Colorado and other states were some percentage (CO 47%) against Bush.  Really?  Ok.  As I got back in the car, he once again mentioned how he's not a hate puppet but also how he hates other liberals who want to force him into talking about one thing (yeah, right?) where he's talking about “broadening and focusing the Democratic party...”  Pick one, please.  The Democrats are shattered right now, trying to do it all's been their downfall.

It still tickles me that 760 here's a ClearChannel station, the same people who own 850 AM (Rush) and 630 AM (Art Bell).
