That Which Belongs to Itt

A nice counter balance to the Berkeley tree sitters and Code Pink is hearing an hour long discussion on a local station with a grammarian and a heated debate about its vs. it's and the confusing logic behind the two. What hasn't been brought up though is how one would deal with this in the case of Cousin Itt. To my mind, it would be correct to say, "We went to the opera in It'ts car."

Not directly related, but when as a child and heard the Beatles singing "Itt's drivin' me mad, Itt's drivn' me mad, Itt's drivin' me mad..." I thought they were referring to Cousin Itt. Of course, I also mistook "Woman, have you got cheating on your mind?" as "Woman, have you got chili on your mouth?"

Cats, Satan, Broadcasting

After that spooky visit from Jesus earlier this week, I feel compelled to promote a nifty local resource around the corner -- Pirate Cat Radio, with an online broadcast. While I don't always enjoy what they play, usually I do. I've been a big fan of KCRW in Santa Monica for a good many years, but sometimes even they get a bit to over programmed. I'm actually old enough to remember when there really was real college radio, and it sounded a lot like the kiddos over at Pirate Cat Radio.
Plus, I have to admire them for having their 600 Club and First Satanic Church.

So, if you can't visit me at the JunkPlex in the Mission, you can stream this little local resource through iTunes. The spaced out
