After spending the last few days listening to Charlie Sheen I’ve become nostalgic for the clear-headed thinking of Charlie Manson. Like all of us who have blown jobs that pay us 1.8 million dollars a week, Mr. Sheen is on a mission to make the American public understand he did not quit – he was fired.  Clearly it would be insane to quit and make himself ineligible for $400 per week in state unemployment compensation.

We should all be more sensitive to Charlie’s plight – you try being a single father with five kids and two porn star girlfriends. It’s difficult when you want your kids to toe the line and your girlfriends to snort it. Plus it’s confusing for Charlie – his kids don’t want to be spanked and his girlfriends do.  What with all the unrest in the world the major stories are starting to blend together in a indecipherable blur. Do I have this right? If Moammar Gadhafi is deposed is he planning to star in “Major League 3”?  

I may be fuzzy on current events, but when it comes to Blanket Of The Month I am locked in on a most worthy selection.  It’s a Pendleton I had never seen before Mr. Crow Gellman plunked it down so I could take pictures of it for “Still Chasing Rainbows”. The legendary Pendleton designer Joseph Rawnsley modeled that wonderful Indian head as the centerpiece of this design.  We’ve seen it before without the Hudson’s Bay type stripes and the stripped down version is in “Chasing Rainbows”, but the stripes take it to another level entirely. I was going to commission Pendleton to make this same blanket with Charlie Sheen’s head, but it’s stuck far too firmly up his ass.

WINNING!
