Welcome

Hello anybody (is there anybody out there?)
And welcome to my inaugural Post of The Drunkards Cloak, let me first say that I don’t claim that anything in this blog is true, honest, factual, or necessarily mine. And in the same respect, I don’t believe that anything posted here (in the blog) will in turn be burdened by the same limitations. These are merely vitriolic observations on esoteric hypothesis. I will not subscribe to; good taste, poor judgment, political correctness, honest mistakes, blind justice, good punctuation or, worn out tired thinly veiled arcane obligatory marionettes of mendacity that most people choose to call their morality! Its not that I don’t believe in morality (I am sure I lie to myself as much the next person) but I just want one place where I don’t have to be burdened by it. And if there is one defining principal of this blog it is this “He will not drive us hence” as Milton said. I only hope that as you shuffle through your day, dodging the shit hailstorm, seeking the truth elsewhere, that you are able to take a moment to look in here and find comfort in the fact that you are not alone and I sympathize with your struggles. And if no one ever sees this blog, then it is merely for my own sanity that I write this, or if only one person ever sees this then I hope it helps.

By the way Richard Widmark Passed today he was 93. I remember his laugh in the movie(I think is was "Kiss of Death") as he pushed the landlord lady down the steps in her wheelchair, I first saw it when I was a child and it scarred me, he was really creepy. To his credit he also played Jim Bowie in "The Alamo" with John Wayne, he actually fights off a grip of Mexican soldiers on his deathbed. And he was also in "The Halls of Montezuma" with Jack Webb another classic! You just hate to see these guys go, man they were great, smoking on airplanes, puttin cigarettes out on their tongues, fightin essays off from their deathbed, they just don’t make em like that anymore. I find it funny that in his obit published in the New York Times, and The Washington Post, they talk about what an amazing career he had and they both end with, that his daughter was once married to the great Sandy Koufax, as if he wasn’t cool enough.
