Federales, take two  A small house keeping matter to take care of.I don't mind being eliptical at times, and I don't mind being vague. In fact I often work to arrange things that way.People don't value, don't believe, do not find useful, things which they have not figured out for themselves. Even if I have a certain notion finished in my head. I will strive to take it apart before passing it on to anyone else. No one makes a gift of a completed crossword or jigsaw puzzle after all. At the same time I feel responsible when I see that I have confused people and set about towards making amends Yes I know there are those out there who are shaking their heads now and saying: "that just isn't true".  I had a post a few weeks ago which I titled "Federales" which suffering from an absence of any positive spelling check, and having not any direct target may have been a degree too far from suitable mooring. The post dealt with the federal goverment. two different agencies - plural. In the movie Treasure of the Sierra Madre a charactor named in the credits as Red Hat says, famously; "Badges, we don't have any badges, we don't need no stinking badges", he says this because Mr. Bogart's charactor has just asked to see them. This much is in  imdb. A moment before (and not in imdb so I proceed entirely from memory) Mr. Bogarts charactor had asked them who they are they. "los Federales" they say. Mr Dobbs: "Federal police huh, then where are your badges?"  But they have no badges. It was just a reference on my part to illegitimate or illegitimately assumed and exercised authority. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience. 2:09:37 AM    comment [];trackback []; blind deaf and dumb Apparently like the poor (of which I am one), the clueless shall always be with ye. ABC cut away from New Order in the middle of a live performance of Love will Tear us Apart. I have neither words, nor a conceptual framework to fit this into. Thanks for the try boys its not your fault. Oh yeah. New Order played on the Jimmy Kimmel Show tonight, they played Krafty off of Sirens Call. 1:24:07 AM    comment [];trackback [];
