NIMBY

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.
I went to a meeting this evening put on by the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust.

The meeting's intent was to stir up civic opposition to a proposed development project planned to be built across the street from me. I know that I am a Libertarian and despise government interference, but this project is over the top. Some asshole developer wants to tear down the Hotel complex across the street on a ten acre parcel and build a 12 story 100 room hotel with a 4,368 Sq. Ft. restaurant, plus 21,092 Sq. Ft. of non-hotel restaurant space, plus a six story 325 condominium unit, and 191,475 Sq. Ft. of retail space. Thus turning my little paradise into overbuilt hell.
Traffic around AB Marina during the week is manageable, but when they setup the Farmer's Market and Chochky Land on Sunday, I don't dare try to drive anywhere because of the traffic. This abortion will make everyday Sunday and I don't feel like climbing into a palm tree with an AK-47 and thinning out the herd to manageable levels. So, I am going to abandon, or at least modify, my Libertarian beliefs and become a liberal, anti-growth, bomb throwing anarchist. Film at eleven.

A quick rant.

Another example of watch what you say on a slow news day.

The Hank Williams debacle is a prime example.

Look at what he said. Williams, unprompted, said of Obama's outing on the links with House Speaker John Boehner: "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

Good God, it's a metaphor. Was Hank also comparing Boehner to Netanyahu?

Once again, the sky is falling.
