Brian Stories

Not Me.

I skimmed through Back To The Future II this morning and remembered a Brian story. Here goes. The first night I ever worked on the Universal backlot, I walked around a corner and found the Clock Tower. “Is that… ? Whoah!”, I thought to myself and then… immediately decided to drive my car 88 mph right past it to see what would happen. Much more difficult than you might guess. I took three passes but didn’t get above about 65 mph and didn’t time travel.

Lesson learned: no lesson learned.

We Have Choices: Marijuana

California has two major candidates for US Senate, me and Dianne Feinstein. I am running a campaign based on good ideas and common sense. My opponent calls herself a liberal Democrat yet she supports censoring the internet, extending the Patriot Act, and has become a billionaire while supposedly serving the needs of California. As you can see, the differences are vast. This year, the people of California have a real choice.

Today, let’s look at marijuana legislation. 

“I do not support the legalization of any illegal narcotics, including marijuana. As you may be aware, I opposed California Proposition 19, which would have allowed adults to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal use.”

- Dianne Feinstein in a 2011 letter to San Francisco city supervisors

——————————————————————————————-

“I don’t even smoke but I would work to legalize it. And Happy 420 to everybody.”

- Me, right here, right now

PS - Did you hate SOPA? Feinstein sponsored CISPA (more on that later).

What I Learned Today

I learned that fire tornadoes exist. I don’t ever want to be near a fire tornado.

Possibilities

The Sensible Candidate

I am running for US Senate and I need your vote.

Do you like Sen. Dianne Feinstein? Do you like the Patriot Act? I hope you gave the same answer to both questions because Sen. Feinstein voted for the Patriot Act. Here is the Senate record to prove it. America was founded on the principles of freedom. California was founded on the principles of extreme freedom. Why should we elect a rigorous supporter of warrantless wiretapping?

Ulrich Mühe as an East German Stasi officer spying on innocent citizens in The Lives Of Others (2006).

“Oh, but that was back when all the terrorists and the people- “. No, stop. Sen. Feinstein, a key member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, continues to fight for the Patriot Act and, just a few months ago, argued to extend it. “This is a time of heightened threat – maybe no specific threat, but certainly heightened threats.” I plucked that quote straight from Sen. Feinstein’s website. Her staff vetted it and everything.

How can California trust Sen. Feinstein when she, clearly, does not trust California? Vote Cooperman For US Senate. I will fight to repeal the Patriot Act - not because of the offensively ironic title but because gratuitous spying on Californians is wrong. That’s just common sense.

My Thoughts On Downton Abbey (so far)

1. Why are we all watching this show?

2. I’d like to see stronger, or any, storylines for my favorite character, the dog. Clearly, Lord Grantham’s Labrador Retriever had a sex-change operation between Series 1 and Series 2 yet no one mentions it?

3. Downton Abbey would be so much better with a Smoke Monster. In fact, I am waiting for these reveals: Downton Abbey sank the Titanic, Downton Abbey shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and the entire cast has been dead the whole time (except for the dog), existing in some other astral plane place involving things I don’t understand like physics and time travel. Note to Julian Fellowes: I JUST FAXED YOU MY TREATMENT FOR SERIES 3. YOU’RE WELCOME.
