No one told me when to run- I missed the starting gun!

Independence Day 2008 in GlyphJockeytown
An exhausted giant.



Children's programming legend Sally Starr.



My daughter went and got Sally's autograph for my wife - a tearfully sweet moment for all. We were ready to take the "I will not do what the Three Stooges Do" pledge right then and there.



This year's parade was neck deep in Jeebus. It was like a parade in The Handmaids Tale. Not a stem cell in sight. The Ba'Hai quit marching years ago.

Tammy Faye No More
Tammy Faye Messner has died. I always felt that she was just along for the ride - mistakenly well intended. I remember her, right around the breaking of the Jessica Hahn scandal, explaining about her addiction to over-the-counter cold remedies, and how that was causing upheaval in the family.

Here's a repeat from the early days of GlyphJockey: The Heritage Village Map. I used to work in the cesspool of Cable TV - I found it in an abandoned desk and knew it would be of interest to someone, anyone who appreciated comeuppance.

This lady, however, kept her sense of humor and suffered. Not the comeuppance I had in mind.

It's a huge image of a cartoon map of the proposed Heritage Village - a Christian themed resort/amusement park, which was really a slippery embezzlement slope for Jim Bakker - Tammy Faye's husband.

La plus ca change.........
