Y’all have three cop cars because I’m feeding cats? – Mary Alston
You’re probably familiar with the song, but did you know there was an official music video starring the young singer herself, from 1953? The links above the video were provided by Clarissa, Jesse Walker, Cop Crisis (x3), Radley Balko, and Phoenix Calida, in that order.
- R.I.P. Chris Boucher.
- Kinda late for Halloween.

- Just another cop demonstrating exactly what he is.
- “Four pints” sounds like much less than “half a gallon”.
- “Police unions have become public enemy number one.“
- Government is just a word for the things we choose to do together.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one. Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful. But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer. So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets. Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements. Thanks so much!
The song is new to me, thanks!
Note by the way that an English pint is 20 ounces, not 16.
