An Actual Email I Just Sent.


For the last twelve hours or so I have been listening to off-and-on Youtube audio live streams of telephone calls between the Y’all Qaeda militia idiots in Oregon and some crazy person named Gavin Seim who seems to be a go-between of some sort for the FBI and also an aspiring D-list celebrity. This is an email I just sent to the girl who told me about the live streams:


… those idiots from last night are livestreaming again with (apparently) the only guy left and I can't stop listening to it! Why did you tell me about this?! I’m addicted.

So the holdout is named "David". On the phone are the same people from last night (Gavin and Monica) and "Mark the FBI Agent" is on a separate phone with David and we can't hear that.

The conversation is interesting because Gavin & Monica sound like Christian AM talk radio hosts. David, apparently is some kind of Jewish (which Gavin & Monica were surprised to learn and immediately cut all the Jesus talk when he said that) and "Mark" is this demon-like character haunting the background who we never hear.

David is clearly unhinged and his sense of the world is as influenced by the X-Files reruns as it is the Constitution. He's anti-Capitalist, pro-America, anti-American government, anti-oil, pro-green energy, anti-Obama, pro-Islam (somehow??), anti-taxes, pro-Syria (??), pro-UFOs, anti-immigrant (which sets up an oddly incongruous kind of xenophobia). To my mind, he actually comes off more sympathetic than Monica & Gavin (they are craven people and they are going to be famous in their circles after this).

If we do not produce a play about this, someone else is going to.
