16. did you, uh, LOL?

I did, then smiled for a long time, wondering if it could possibly be true.

My goal in life, before I become a looper in the next one, is to find out. Who should I ask, the Lama, or the Body?

and how are YOU these days?

have you heard about the very political Neil Young directed CSNY concert/political tour movie?

I'm going to see that, followed by the HST bio; both at the same theaters

also, it was forty years ago, man, that all hell broke loose in Chicago, winning the election for the second worst president in history.

where were you?

I was about 25 miles away, too busy cruising for chix to care about anything else.

9. Two Old Sell-Outs

I've never had any use for either of them.

I was at an event in a house in Mill Valley. The thing was being held in honor of the old quack. And I didn't get it, at all.

He just talks in riddles.

10. So is Graham Cracker edging in on Joe Lie's turf? nt

11. Looks to me like the Dalai Lama didnt' have good news for old McCain..

Kinda wonder why there is no live footage of the meeting.. Strange don't you think.. this was supposed to be McCain's answer to Obama's whirlwind tour with foreign leaders.. who obviously really like Obama.

"I urge the Chinese government to release Tibetan political prisoners, account for Tibetans who have, quote, 'disappeared' since protests in March, and engage in meaningful dialogue on genuine autonomy for Tibet," McCain said.

The Dalai Lama praised McCain for his concern — while emphasizing he wasn't endorsing McCain's presidential bid.

The Tibetan spiritual leader says he wants autonomy, not independence, for Tibet.

China claims Tibet has been its territory for centuries.

"His Holiness represents the profound desire of millions of Tibetans for basic dignity and human rights. His nonviolence approach and his lifelong work seeking common ground across cultural and religious divides are an inspiration to all of mankind and to millions of Americans," McCain said as the Dalai Lama clutched his hands.

The Dalai Lama was in Aspen for a symposium of The Aspen Institute looking at Tibet. He is scheduled to give a speech on Saturday.
