martha, coke mules, and mom

i've been reading a blog called eurotrash. the current tag-line is "the whole detached-irony thing is very 1999." Here's a quote:

How delicious to think of Martha as a coke mule. I feel sure she would embroider a seasonal coke tote-bag for the occasion.

eurotrash manages to be sympathetic even in her sniping. today's entry was about seeing people who are desperately down on their luck and thinking of your mother. most of the homeless women i see here in pasadena remind me of my mother. their weathered faces and sunken features remind me of how she looked after she lost her front teeth and how she looked when she was sick with cancer.
