From The Top
A few meanderings from a mind that no longer tolerates silence in the face of confusion, indecision in the face of tyranny, cowardice in the face of existence. This is my testament while bearing witness to our shared human experience on a planet that nurtures us, despite our hostile behavior, and appears to serve, for all intent, as an accommodating home away from home.

About Me
- Name: John Cannatella
- Location: New York, New York, United States
I like to think, if I am able to, outside the sphere of our institutional conventions. Of course our culture dissuades such solitary pursuits with its barrage of disruptive and intrusive nonsense. We should not be engaged in reflection or introspection because no one makes money from it and that is our greatest value to our society ... as consumers. We are induced with suggestive images and flashing lights, to watch, covet, and buy. I will on occasion sound the alarm of indignation for the benefit of my more innocent brethren, but mostly I just want to pull the plug and shut the damn system off so I can hear myself think! Oh, yes ... and I tend to get preachy. My children can give you the skinny on that. I have a daughter and a son, both adults, and the best friends anyone could have. I have the memories of my late wife and I share the love and warmth of her incredible family. I consider myself to be the most fortunate of men and my friends and family, past and present, are true blessings in an astonishing journey that always feels as if it is just beginning.

who the hell is that?
For those that are not New Yorkers, it is Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an 'unrehearsed, unplanned' photo op. Why, he's just like one of us, isn't he?
Johnny--I would love for you to write a post about Hillary Clinton.
What's your take on her. I think if she runs for president I'm definitely voting for Frank Zappa.
Geezk, John, I dunno.
I kinda thought it was moving toward transparency, but your suggestion that it was opaque is not okaque mit mee.
P.
I forgot to mention in previous comments that the layout for your blog is FABULOUS! Seriously, nicely put together. I second the motion re Hilary, except I'm voting for Captain Beefhart.
Hey Rudy--come on, buddy, give it up. It HAS to go down like this:
Zappa: President
Beefheart: Vice President
What do you think? You be the campaign manager, and I'll handle public relations. Are you with me on this???
:)
p.s. Did I spell 'Beefhart' wrong?
Oh, jeez...
by the way, Rudy, check out my blog:
jaibhakti.blogspot.com
I could use some cool comments from a Zappanian mind!
I beg to differ bhakti. Isnt it obvious
by our current administration that what works is to have a Doofus Charlatan as the "front man"
(Beefhart/Bush) while the evil genius pulls the strings from behind the scenes (Zappa/Cheney/Michael Moore/Rove)
Michael Moore would be Secretary of State the Truth :-D
