Happy MommaVoz Day

Hey, Hallmark, get with the program - let's have some personalized greeting cards! I mean, you created this holiday so that you and the florists could get rich off of guilt-ridden children and - even more - husbands, so how about something meaningful to the moms? This works for me:

Yo, MommaVoz
we're gathered here
cause you're the shit
in the fwavlosphere
we shook the spot
we're runnin wild
we listen good
we're your immigrant child
but you're our Moms
and we're here to say
hope you have a really great
MommaVoz day


Well, I did. Breakfast with the entire ole' nukuler in a just-this-side-of-seedy diner which was just what I wanted. I mean, it was no Patricia Murphy's - which I am sure none of my fair readers ever heard of - and that's why it was perfect. So - to all of my chilluns, borne and extended.... Happy MommaVoz Day! Don't forget to call , text, email or write your mom, aunt, grandma, et cetera - because even if she says this is a bullshit holiday, don't believe it.

Oh, and to those of you still studying, writing, and otherwise suffering under the yoke of academic torture ... it's almost over!

May 4, 1970 - never forget

Four dead in Ohio. If you were on a college campus that brutal day, it's far more than a brilliant lyric. This article was written in 1995 when people thought it could never happen here again. Nixon was long gone. There would never be another Vietnam.

If you're on a college campus today, or recently were, or will be again soon - or if your children are, were or will be - take a minute to read this and never forget.
