...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

4.11.02

A baby-sitter, Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was shot dead on Oct. 3. Bush was unheard. The next morning he flew to Boston to raise a million dollars for the Republican candidate for governor, Mitt Romney. The bus driver, Conrad Johnson, got up at 4 a.m. and made lunch sandwiches for his school kids, then got to work early so he could have a breath of air and maybe talk to one of the other bus drivers. He was standing in the well of his bus, early for work, when he was shot dead. George Bush was in Texas and flying to North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama for Republican Congress candidates.

His idea of a federal disaster emergency is a flood in Louisiana. He was absent for most of the year from the World Trade Center. It was obvious that he and his people despise New York because of our people. The least he could have done was like Washington. But while the shots rang out, he reveled in fund-raisers in far states.

He keeps crying war to keep people from realizing how many of us are broke.

Here on Merrick road the other morning, one of the people from the music business told me that Mizell apparently died in money trouble.

The same as Queens people who were lined up at a check cashing store next door to his studio. The line went out onto the sidewalk.....

Missing in court at yesterday's hearing on the five young men convicted in the Central Park jogging case was Donald Trump, who at the time of the crime perpetrated as lousy an act as he knew how, and that he can do.


The five want their charges scrubbed from their records because there are so many facts now saying they were not guilty.


Trump was seen yesterday on television in McDonald's commercials. Here he is, dead on the screen, with hair of swirled cement and strange color, and with a bad chin. That's up to the director. But his record shows he ran full-page newspaper ads that inflamed a city over race when the jogger was attacked. If McDonald's likes its Trump commercials then send them a message. Stay out.
