Morton Malaise

Some new pictures up on my Flickr site. Look at them if you want. Or don’t. Whatever.

As my “New Every Two” has come due with Verizon, I am currently in the market for a new cellphone, probably a smartphone. I’m trying to decide between the enV, a Treo, the Motorola Q, or maybe a Blackberry. Anyone have any personal experience with any of the phones I mentioned?

I’m pretty damn scared of the way things in this country are going. Bush is a few bad decisions from naming himself chancellor, burning the Capitol to the ground, and putting up a ton of flags with a symbol he has stolen and changed the meaning of, a la the swastika.
Something to sink your teeth [...]

Once again, I want to thank Bill and PeoriaIllinoisan for helping me get videos up…These are the first two of many that I felt needed to be seen. The first is FAR more important than the second and the third. However, the words of the second- and by definition the third- echo the words of [...]

This is KMFDM, one of a few of my favorite bands. The title of the song is “A Drug Against War”. Enjoy.

For “The Markley & Luciano Show,” size matters.
Small size.
This Friday, 1470 WMBD-AM’s No. 1 drive-time radio program kicks off The World’s Smallest Parade. The fabulous procession, led by the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales, will celebrate opening day for the Peoria Chiefs. And the public is invited [...]

For those of you that weren’t listening to the Markley and Luciano show this afternoon, the “parade” has come to fruition. Anyone who wants to be part of it should meet at Kelleher’s between 430 and 545 Friday afternoon. M&L will be cutting their Cannonball Friday show short for this very, very special event. Around [...]

I started uploading some of my pictures onto Flickr. There are only about 15 right now, but I plan on putting quite a bit more up. You can find it here.

A friend of mine sent an email to Mayor Ardis this morning, and Mayor Ardis replied in a rather amusing manner. See below:

I’ll be glad to help. City Hall is closed today, but touch bases with our Communications Director Alma Brown on Monday and she can put you in touch with the different people [...]

In the Dominican Republic, they make Mojitos with Bitters in them. Has anyone EVER heard of putting Bitters in a Mojito? If you haven’t tried it, I DON’T recommend it. It tastes absolutely terrible. I was hoping to finally enjoy a good Mojito served in the region from which they originated. So much for that.
