Our favorite extremist is back, making his gripes, lodging his complaints and basically giving the powers-that-be a wedgie in the form of a rant. Perhaps he's the love child of Bukowski and Acker. Who knows? Well, it's spring and I guess the asylums are letting their inmates out to get some fresh air. Meanwhile O.D.B. has a few grievances to air. I wonder if there's any connection? Oh, and one last note -- the O.D.B. has added his contact info to this rant. If one of your dreams has always been to find out more about this mysterious figure, here's your chance. Me, I'd rather wear a hat made out of a hornet nest. (JDF)

Notes From A Dissonant Ole Man #2

The O.D.B. paid the satellite bill, so they didn’t turn that off. Honestly the O.D.B. could live without cable. There is a couple of things on that he enjoys. The O.D.B. does not understand the concept of paying for TV. I mean it’s the peoples' airwaves right? Does that mean rather than paying a check every month, there should be a check in the mail every month? Oh tarnations, it’s too frustrating to think about. It boggles the O.D.B.’s mind how we got in this condition. I mean now they want us to pay for radio too. Anyway I fixed myself a salad. Like I said the O.D.B. eats his vegetables kids. I sat down to watch Democracy Now! as I do everyday. (Some routines are good kids.) But this was no routine show. Today Amy Goodman would interview Dennis Kucinich. By the way, the O.D.B. does not really encourage voting if it does not count anyway, but if he did, or if elections were not stolen, he would endorse Dennis Kucinich for president. Then if he were to win by some strange turn of events the C.I.A. would kill him. That’s right kids I said it. The C.I.A.. Anyway I’m losing focus here.

Amy Goodman is good. Not like those corporate journalists that just turn into bulldogs and disrespect you if you have anything good to say. So they run through the news, and along comes Mr. Kucinich. Then I’m like what the hell? Amy Goodman turned into one of those corporate bulldog journalist trying to make Kucinich look like an idiot. I mean I have watched her interview other people that wanted to end the war and bring the troops home, and she was all nice and respectful, but not him. What the hell is going on around here? She practically bit his head off for not going with the Democrats majority plan to continue to fund the war. Oh the O.D.B. was pissed I’ll tell you. He might have gotten more fair and balanced reporting from Fox News but I doubt that.

Then after Kucinich goes off she interviews this other guy, and she is just regular Amy Goodman again. Maybe she was possessed or something. I don’t know. But Dennis Kucinich gets no respect from anybody and why? Because he is not a corporate cocksucker like Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton? He will not compromise our future by voting to continue to fund the war. The man sticks to his beliefs, he is the right man for the job and the O.D.B. likes that. He has never flopped from his position, he voted against the war from the start. Unfortunately the big money of corporate America doesn’t like it. And if he can’t even get a fair shake on so called alternative media like Democracy Now! we are in big trouble. Yeah kids do you hear that? It’s a wake up call. Time to overturn the whole damn system. Do you hear that? Don’t ignore it and turn up the TV, try to block it out, I know you can hear it. I trust you will do the right thing when the right time comes, no that is not sitting on your ass watching the TV. There is no playstation game for the revolution.

Tarnations! The O.D.B. is tired. Been marchin’ too long in the streets for a future that you just choose to give up.

Next on the ole agenda, I guess #1 did alright. Got published on a couple of websites and what not. Sent it to some zines, we’ll see what comes of it. But I swear I talked about eating somethin’ besides my vegetables. So now we are gonna talk about police. Relax kids, not the police that fire 50 bullets through your windshield, besides that only happens if you’re black. We’re gonna talk about police like editors that feel the need to force their morality on everyone, and take out everything that they may deem as offensive. These people will say they are all for free speech. They are all very liberal, just like the democrats. Oh this country has become so damn sensitive. You see editing is very important work. I guess the O.D.B. could clean up really nice. I could shave, get a hair cut, put on one of those fancy suits like the president wears. Powder blue tie very calming nice touch. The O.D.B. is not that professional. Suits are uncomfortable, why would I wanna wear them? Besides it’s 80 degrees outside and the O.D.B. would be sweating like a pig. I don’t have a cushy air conditioned limo to ride around in and show everyone else I am better than them. Hell in my fifteen year old car the air conditioner does not even work. It just blows out lukewarm air like bath water.

That’s right the O.D.B. is not happy about all this global warming mess. It keeps getting’ hotter, and hotter, and this really burns the O.D.B. up you know? Anyway I got so far off the point that I don’t know if I can bring this back in. I am just babbling. No I think the point was that the O.D.B. was not meant to be cleaned up. So my point is that I do appreciate the publication of the O.D.B. I don’t know about being called a whack job, but hey. He has his opinion. For those of you that would like to see the O.D.B. raw and naked (No kids this isn’t a porn site and you would not wanna see it.), I’ve gotten on this computer contraption and set me up with an e-mail address. If you would like to correspond with the O.D.B. and George, and Dick, Alberto, and whoever else may be watching in, you can do so by e-mailing us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it I will also send my notes from there raw and unedited so if you would like to see that drop me a line.

Asylums? Tarnations, The O.D.B. does not live in an asylum! Maybe no bills and free meds would not be so bad

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
