I think the inanimate stuff pushed in our mass media is as lively and
enlightening as ever. Because the underside *is* in the ascendancy. Enter
the black hole internet. You've consumed too much mass inanimate. Come
rummage in the world wide recycle bin. Truth is, we're in it 'cause it's
fun. As in, "I get it. I realize I'm dead."

Now, speaking of murder capital, Miami is no safe place for foreigners, eh?
Before, it was fashionable to be gay, but now, you have to be a
well-dressed cannibal. I just can't keep up, being a local lad, though one
of wealth and taste.

Here's the mass inanimate. I can't resist the CNN web site, (why is CNN
throwing so much $$ into the black whole anyway? Certainly the advertising
alone can't float it. For some reason, They don't want me watching
television, and I comply. I don't remember any of their advertisers. Do
they have advertisements? Yes, but they're too small to notice.) Anyway,
today there is a "Man on surveillance video may be the suspect"

I watched CNN's video, and that jacket is just too damn seedy to be
connected to a Versace intimate.

A-and who're you writing for, with such a stiff audience?
