	This Week's Model
	A T-shirt for sure this time around. The front of it reads as follows: The fastest way to stop global warming. . . . . . is nuclear war! Beneath these words would be a picture of a large mushroom with a gnome underneath it, shivering in a down jacket. Tags: entrepreneurial, humor, politics Current Location: 85704 Muse: That Architecture in Helsinki song from the Sprint commercial, over and over

I think it should say, " . . . is nuculor war!" on the back. That gives the premptive perps ownership of it.

Ahh, perhaps it should. I had a dark epiphany today in which I realized that the Bush Administration ideologues were probably not worried about climate change because they had a plan to simulate twenty Tamboras.

Ah, nuculor winter as the solution to global warming alarmists. Natch-i natch! They would probably need another Pearl Harbor event for that kind of response, though. Of course, now that Vladimir has the big non-nuke, but big as a nuke Hiroworshipper Bomb...

But I bet someone has proposed detonating a particulate matter-filled bomb in the upper atmosphere. Who needs a war to nuculorize the Earth?

Vallejo ~> Arizona ~> D.C.! Yous got a future in Republican nuculorization politics, Chas.

ABOUT DE FILE

You're looking at content from my Live Journal, which I have been keeping since 2003. I consider it a personal blog, though it lacks stream-of-consciousness revelations that typify that genre.

That said, if you manage to discern the confessional mode within entries that are superficially tight-lipped, I will reward you handsomely. Or at least pretend to do so.

In addition to reflections, however mediated, on my daily activities, De File features periodic excavations of material from my "files," a revelation sure to disturb anyone who has seen my garage. It's an experiment in integrating past and present, perhaps with a little redemption along the way.

Politics is always on my mind, but rarely explicit here. I’m working on a theory about what personal writing like this does to literary identification and why some people resist its pull so powerfully. But my goal is to make that theory dissolve in my practice, a density in liquid.

You'll note that I have links to blogs not on LiveJournal directly above, as well as assorted websites of note. The blogs I read regularly on LiveJournal itself fall under "FRIENDS" at the top, for those of you unfamiliar with LJ’s workings.

You can write me. I'm "cbertsch" before the circle-a and "comcast.net" after it.
