As its Friday .....
The only thing not 1970's about this house is the price. Remarkable snapshot in time.
I recommend the full tour slide show to truly appreciate this flashback.

after all if things get really bad (and you don't fancy the gun option) you can all rediscover those spandex psychedelic trousers and head for Goa. (dope smoking optional)

The election is over, the sun came up ...
On a completely different topic, I booked a ticket for Leonard Cohen this morning, thinking he might be cheaper than BDO. There are two ticket options: $142 or $172 (both + $5 fee). Maybe I have been out of the loop for live concerts, but ain't that rather a lot??
Cheap at twice that price if this is anything to go by.

Hands up who knows what a "sham foreign exchange transaction" is. ....
If I did I'd be a very rich tax lawyer now, instead of... whatever the hell I am.
I thought it was some coded reference to Sham 69, considering the title of the post

more Rolling Stone on "mad dog Palin".
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV — and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.

I came across this article recently and thought it would be of interest to PA readers (with some time on their hands)
It's an excerpt from the book Reinventing Collapse
Soviet Example and American Prospects
By Dmitry OrlovAnother one to add to the Holiday reading list

Meanwhile out west ...
"I'm out exploring the modern world,
By the pine trees and the Howard Johnsons,
On Route 128 when it's late at night,
We're heading from the north shore to the south shore,
Well I see Route 3 in my sight and
I'm the Roadrunner". -
no relation by the way, at least as far as I know
