Real Ultimate Crime Fighting: A Man's Way

Guns are for Babies, Wimps and Spineless Cowards

Downtown Tacoma's very own vigilante CRIME FIGHTER dispatches villains with his FISTS OF JUSTICE!  Criminals of all creed's beware. 

Police Sketch Artist Rendering:  

Fist of Justice
reporters are calling him: "Night Fist"

RIPPED FROM THE KOMO-4 HEADLINES:

TACOMA, Wash. -- The owners of a downtown market are calling it swift justice. A regular customer thwarted an armed robbery and put the man in the hospital with just one punch.

All too often the folks in the heart of downtown see robbers take the money and run. But at the D-Town Market, the robber didn't get to run too far before he ran into a regular customer who took matters into his own hands- er, make that fist.
Continue to the FULL "Night Fist" STORY   >> with video and everything!

RR Commentary: Evildoers beware the fists of justice. Who need's guns?  Not the "Night Fist" It is my personal belief that for you to be a real man you must fight crime with your bare hands the way god intended.  May your Night Fist(ing) bring enlightenment to the masses of despotic criminals terrorizing the goodly citizens of our fair city. 

We of HOLISTIC FORGE WORKS salute you

TV Tacoma All-Stars: Selective Discrimination Edition

"Your Mental Illness Is Not My Problem" as they say

Author's Statement of Purpose: My goal is to get more people to be interested in the PUBLIC COMMENT + COMMUNITY FORUM on TV Tacoma. I want folks to recognize our civic speakers on the street and have compassion for the thundering engine driving them. "I will forge new connections to people orphaned by civilization." - RR Anderson

* * *

Charles Kelly Creso


"We've got to stop these stupid tax breaks for the wealthy developers! Our city needs to collect taxes to keep things running! What is wrong with you people? Why are we giving it all away for free?"

RR Commentary: note absence of bolo tie; first instance of Hawaiian shirt.



Robert "The Traveller" Hill

city council turns a deaf ear
RR Commentary: So as soon as "The Traveller" was called up to the podium most of the council left the room. Those that stayed behind either swiveled their chairs away from the citizen speaker or 'acted busy' reading through reams of paper props.   This is the first time I've seen an a city council actively ignore one of it's citizens so openly.  Also it is noteworthy to add that TV TACOMA seemed to be experiencing technical difficulties as Mr. Hill was never video taped save for the long shot I've recorded (above).    Mr. Hill responded by asking: "Hello?  Hello?  Mr. Mayor... is this thing on?"    at which point the Mayor declared him out of order and asked the police to remove Mr. Hill.     From what I could tell from the long shot (above)  Mr. Hill was dressed pretty conservatively...  so why the cold shoulder?    Sure maybe he is a little crazy, but since when is mental illness a crime?  Last I heard he is still a citizen of Tacoma and citizens are permitted...  it's their god damned right... their duty... to speak at these horribly boring meetings.    Whatever grandma



Crybaby "Gimmie Tax Breaks" Mall Housing Developer


"Hey...  I'm not a wealthy developer.  I'm struggling.  I cant afford to buy jet skis for my children this year.  We have to all share the single ski-do I bought for my wife back in 2001.  I mean, I can always take my business elsewhere... hmm Federal Way is not to bad eh?  Now there is a city willing to take one for the team... just sayin' heh eh"



* * * INTERMISSION * * *






Just Some Guy





Jake Fey, Lover of Tax Breaks


"Just to crunch some numbers in my head, the taxes that we'd be collecting from this project add up to about $200. So I don't see what the big deal is."

RR Commentary: If it's not worth collecting the taxes then what is the big deal about just friggin paying the taxes they owe?




Connie Ladenburg, Champion


"If Ruston wants to use Tacoma Utilities, then they should be part of Tacoma. I'm not going to explain myself here, but you know how I feel about contracting out our utilities to other non-Tacoma cities"

RR Commentary:  hmm...  fircrest,  university place... can you think of any other places already contracting out their public utilities to the great city of Tacoma?

Refuse to be Terrorized: Shawn Bunney for Pierce County Council

Illicit Message/Branding Billboard Liberation

"I will forge new connections to people orphaned by civilization." - RR Anderson

Mr. Charles Creso


"We have term limits for a reason. Voting to remove term limits without proper public/comity review impugns the integrity of our charter amendment process. Vote NO for the removal of term limits."





Lonely University Place Guy


"Good evening members of the city council and Mr. Mayor.  I think removal of term limits is a good thing as today the learning curve is such that qualified people chance to serve... and education to best benefit the people of Tacoma. And I still have the wedding anniversary card you sent me 5 years ago Mr. Mayor.. thank you."









The Honorable State Master Mr. Robert "The Traveller" Hill


RR Commentary:
  I'm not exactly sure what Mr. Hill's position on the issue was but he appeared to have changed into an alternate character mid way through the council meeting...  a German Rock Musician of some sorts.  Unfortunately my shit pants Click! internet connection kept kicking me off the streaming video and I missed the police escort out of the chambers.  But I did catch this bit at the end where Councilman Lonergan  asked the city attorney if there was some way to ban Mr. Hill from any future City Council meetings (I assume Mr. Hill had mentioned masturbation as the specter of 'kids could be watching' was raised ). 



Mike Lonergan


"I challenge the city attorney to find a way to expel Mr. Hill from all future city council meetings. His behavior is increasingly weird and not appropriate for children."

RR Commentary: Amen!






Maryland Strickland, Champion


"I am against the removal of term limits. We've got to keep a steady flow of fresh blood in here. Just look at what is happening to poor Connie Ladenburg...  she hasn't had fresh blood in over 10 years!"

Dennis Flannigan Making a List, Checking it Twice

Constitutions, Lists & Tacoma Still Matter

received via video store owning chess savant:

June 26, 2008
 
Friends,
 
This is an a political inquiry. I'm looking for your short list of thinkers and dooers in Tacoma and Pierce County. Worth knowing because they're bright, creative and when they're in the room, the world seems virtually be reborn.
 
Think of them as the three people you'd call together to save the hemisphere, or improve education, or create a low cost, non-oil based fuel, or whatever. People with ideas that exceed the normal. People able to think straight, not Left or Right, or my way or the highway. People who "get it," as the phrase goes. I'm asking for three names - I ask that they not be your relatives, a boss, or someone in your employ. This is not about friends, but smart accomplished people. Give me three names of folks you would want in the room with you as you tackled the next great problem.
 
Email your list to me, dennis.flannigan [at] gmail [dot] com  I'll send you what I learn.
 
Please let me know why the people you choose make your list. What are their attributes? Why did they make your list?
 
I don't even know what I'll do with the list. It is not about politics, so please don't worry about that. It is, I believe, pure Research and Development. I'm trying to see who can really analyze, create and produce solutions to difficult problems - of any stripe..
 
Please add their phone, email or other information about reaching them. Further, pass this on. My world is limited. It is limited by age (68), so there are few young people getting this request. It is mostly Caucasian, so many other cultures are under requested. While the list is not all progressive folks, it needs more business, more Republicans, more academics and scientists. Probably more women, more tech folks, more artists, more entrepreneurs and people of faith to be current. So, pass the email on. 
 
With that in mind, please send the request on to some of the bright minds you know. Particularly, I hope you'll send it to people who I wouldn't know, but solve problems in creative and effective ways. I don't know many engineers, so that group would be good to get engaged in listing those who inspire them.
 
Again, three names of people who could jump start any group chasing a solution to tough problems. What do I offer back? Well, I'll collect the names and comments, and send them on to everyone who responds. I'll omit the sender's name, but not the comments and people suggested.
 
Thank you,
 
 
Dennis Flannigan

Amy McBride, Tacoma Art Commission Czar Sez: "DON'T PANIC!!"




In a firestorm of emails with CARTOONIST and TACOMA ART LISTSERVE ACTIVIST, RR Anderson, Viceroy and Czar of the Tacoma Arts Commission Amy McBride KILLS ALL RUMORS with HARD FACTS.

Here is What we know

    1. At aprox 25:00 Hours on Monday The Listserve suffered an unprovoked art attack from a non NATO country somewhere in the Adriatic Sea 

     2. Mon - Thurs LOCAL ARTISTS begin to riot in the streets having no avenue for announcements of self-expressionSeveral slower, sicker Tacoma Arts Commissioners are picked off from the herd by gallery owners turned cannibal, vindictive.

Refulgent  Hope, Future...

RR's Direct Question: "Is there infact hope? Will the Listserv be fixed?"

Amy McB: "Yes it is and we can't announce it because it is down. It is being fixed and is supposed to be done soon but could you tell people?"

Gotta Dig that Voice

Chris Van Vechten From the Melon Online

The following MP3 recording is a reenactment of a three minute speech I attempted to make before the Pierce County Council (PCC) at Riverside Elementary on June 10, 2008.  I was hardly so calm during the actual forum, but the council hasn't yet seemed to post the recording, so this is the best I can do.  
I came to the PCC to speak on behalf of the Pierce County Arts Commission, which is marked for dramatic budget cuts.

Robert "The Traveller" Hill

"I would like to present the council with part one of the Robert Hill Report. It is a happy little story going back to April 1st when I could not attend the meeting, but is related to the self-gratification--"

RR Commentary: Note new straw hat, Once piece green overalls... fuzzy 'castro' beard.

Julie Anderson, Champion

"What is this about?  You need to comment on something the council can consider as an action item."

Robert "The Traveller" Hill: Part II

"... you're interrupting me. Does my time restart? Anyhow I was saying. It is important for Self Gratification--"


The Mayor

"Okay you're out of order. I'm going to ask you to step down..  [argument] Okay I'm going to call a recess. Officers would you escort Mr. Hill."








RR Commentary
: Was Mr. Hill killed in a shoot out with the police? Nobody knows! Tune in Next month for an all new CITIZENS FORUM!

Super Electric - Episode 1 - The Melon Online

Thumbnail image for SuperElectric.jpgSince I can't always get Peter or Chris to do a Melon or Core with me, I decided to start my own show called Super Electric. It's nothing special, and not up to the Melon/Core caliber (in fact it's basically just me being a jack ass), but it's just going to be me talking about what I find interesting in the news.

Without further ado, here's episode 1 of Super Electric:

Be A Successful Artist with Success Succession (SS) Semiar!

RR Anderson is teh Best at Art. Periods.


Do you like art? Do you like Money? Do you like art made out of money? Do you like sexy women and fast cars? Well you seem to me like somebody who is RIPE FOR SUCCESS! Do you want the secret for success? Sure we ALL do.  But you're not going to get that out of me here, right now, right this second. No way.  That would be a fucking joke. Why? Because my success depends on teaching you the success in a successful, meaningful and profitable way for me and you, but mostly me. 

Success is like Pirate Treasure...  Once you Have it, you must kill everyone who wants to take it away. 


Lets look to history.  Remember all the successful people?  Like those kings... um Jesus.  Elvis.  Madonna.  Rodney King. Larry King. Martin Luther King. King Kong. Hong Kong. King of Queens. Queen (rock group).   I guess you're starting to see the pattern: All these people are successful.  And that's not even the ones who were assassinated OR died horribly painful AIDS deaths.  No sir, even then they were more successful than you.   You could say success is a cruel mistress.  You could say a lot of things.   But then we'd be talking and not being successful.   

The Devil You Say!?


There are things called Faustian bargains.. you know where you get supernatural success by selling your soul to the devil...  or science or a time machine related plan.   Get a ticket on the clue train buddy.  There is no such thing as time machines, science or devils.    No all we have on this god forsaken earth is dirt, blood and trees  (Maybe some other stuff, but that's not successful thinking).    

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR:





Important Secrets in Art that you normally must pay up to $1000.00 pyramid scheme seminar to learn!!!!


  1. Ignore everybody.
  2. The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to change the world.
  3. Put the hours in.
  4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.
  5. You are responsible for your own experience.
  6.  Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
  7.   Keep your day job.
  8.   Companies that squelch creativity can no longer compete with companies that champion creativity.
  9.  Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
  10.   The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.
  11. Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.
  12. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
  13. Never compare your inside with somebody else's outside.
  14. Dying young is overrated.
  15.  The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.
  16. The world is changing.
  17. Merit can be bought. Passion can't.
  18. Avoid the Watercooler Gang.
  19.  Sing in your own voice.
  20.  The choice of media is irrelevant.
  21. Selling out is harder than it looks.
  22. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
  23. Worrying about "Commercial vs. Artistic" is a complete waste of time.
  24.  Don?t worry about finding inspiration. It comes eventually.
  25. You have to find your own schtick.
  26. Write from the heart.
  27.  The best way to get approval is not to need it.
  28.   Power is never given. Power is taken.
  29.   Whatever choice you make, The Devil gets his due eventually.
  30. The hardest part of being creative is getting used to it.
  31.   Remain frugal.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with a whole new Melon episode. Well, it's actually only a brief version of the show, but a slice of Melon is better than some vegetable. Take a listen and enjoy. My favorite part is when I say "Defense Security" instead of "Defense Secretary".

Free market land use restrictions

insta-gadfly autoresponder

People have emailed me asking why I didn't do a mocking parody of Mr. Jeff Becker's 5views.com blog entry titled: "Free market land use restrictions"

I'll tell you why.  He posted his last blog entry on SUNDAY which in my Christian belief structure is the day of rest. Anybody who breaks the Sabbath and works to upload a blog entry is an enemy in the eyes of THE SKY LORDS.

 

I for one have stopped looking for answers through sin long long ago.

Mr. David Creso, Man w. Bolo Tie

"The rampant spending of this council makes me want to puke my guts out. It is sick and gross. How many bolo ties must I wear to get this point across? HOW MANY?"

Waste Water Conspiracy Pump Man

"They are stealing money out of the pockets of wastewater services to buy computers for other departments. For 31 years I alone stood as a sentinel at wastewater services to prevent this type of gangster communist Frankenstein conspiracy."

Phyllis Barret, DiscoverTacoma.com

"The police continue to get raises and waste public monies to drive their police cars to work. If you want to know the truth go to my website w w w discover tacoma dot com."

RR Commentary: just say 'discovertacoma.com' you dont need to keep saying the w's.  I cant take anymore w's!


The Mayor

"Yo, bean counters what do you have to say about those computer funds?"


Mr. Brighteyes

"Nothing.  See?   Yo, Donnie. Tell the nice man about computers."


Donnie The IT Guy

"eeeeeh, gateway is having a memorial day sale and its a good time to upgrade all sixty four of our older windows 95 machines over at operations ehhhh. I just hope they don't run vista...  man that OS is a major frag"


Man with Transparent Mustache

"The bridge was built in 1929 with two spans. A third span was added in 1944. The bridge received a new deck in 1946. Jump ahead to today. The work will remove old deck and replace it with a modern concrete one. Secondarily, it will change the bearing devices that allow it to move to and fro. The project is 86.5% federally funded."

RR Commentary: Wait.. did you just copy/paste that from exit133?  Cheater!

Mr. Goiter


** Thank You Mike Lonergan **


 Field Marshal of Salvation Army

"Thanks for your urgent response we're looking forward to working with the Tacoma Rescue Mission to even better help the homeless in Tacoma."

Kindly Woman

"Thanks!"


Mahatma Gandhi

"Thank you"


Emergency Homeless Funding Opposition

"I was homeless. I love the Salvation Army, et al.  But there is another way to help stamp out homelessness. We don't need to give the MLKHDA any more money. I know a secret way that I would like to discuss with the council at a later date if  I may."

RR Commentary: secret way?  like Scientology?  What is your prescribed method I wonder...

Topcat vs. Tacoma Public Library

!amcoat enigami, ONLINE

It is a small obscure thing, but often I have wished upon a star for the ability to link directly to a book housed within the virtual card catalog of the Tacoma Public Library.   

For Example

If a bibliophile/library advocate wished to write a blog post about a book he just read AND the book happens to be available at the TPL he has no way to link directly to a page like this...

this is a tragedy for the online book/library enthusiast.  

A Call to Action..

anybody find a work around or hack to this need?   Thank you.

TV Tacoma All-Stars: May Citizens Forum!

Subtitle Goes Here

Author's Statement of Purpose: My goal is to get more people to be interested in the CITIZENS forum on TV Tacoma. I want folks to be able to recognize people on the street and have compassion for the engine driving them. "I will forge new connections to people orphaned by civilization." - RR Anderson

OR

The thin gray line... the front line of defense for all us 'to-busy-for-politics' average citizens.  Though not as awesome as a CITIZENS FORUM event which happens the first Tuesday of every month, we still are treated to the presence of our most opinionated citizens.   This is their story...



Lonely University Place Guy

"I just think its discouraging juvenile delinquents...  other day bus driver... threw a boulder through windshield damage to passengers... and and compassion for homeless... teach our children how to behave, not attacking bus. thank you."


Phyllis Barrett DiscoverTacoma.com

"I have over 400 pages of documents proving that Police are filling up their police cars on tax money!"

Tacoma SMASH I.C.E. Kids

"The council needs to do more to shut down the for profit detention facility In the Tide Flats!"

RR Commentary: you guys need to focus on parts the city has control over otherwise they'll just say its a federal deal and ignore you.  You kids should ask why the MM Bridge was raised in the middle of your protest?  Why is it the job of the city to provide riot cops etc. for a facility that is not in their jurisdiction?   Also there ARE things the council can do,  they've taken symbolic stances on federal matters before... stuff like climate change, rights for domestic partners... um...  uh...  green energy?  whatever.

M.L.King Private Homeless Center Fiasco!!!

We're Closing the Shelter  Admin.

"We never wanted to take care of the homeless, we just got sucked into it... now we want out."


Please Don't Close the Shelter! Lobby

"The city can rally and come up with money to pay for stupid public art, and money to meet the blackmail demands of corporate flunkies like Russel.  Who is going to rally for us?"


Julie Anderson, Champion

"Thank you.  We have nothing to do with the I.C.E. facility so please stop complaining to us about it.  Also we have nothing to do with the closing of the homeless shelter, that being said... sorry."

Marilyn Strickland, Champion

"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"

Mike Lonergan

It held up its chain at arm's length, as if that were the cause of all its unavailing grief, and flung it heavily upon the ground again.

"At this time of the rolling year," the spectre said, "I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?"
