TONY FAULKNER of the PORTLAND, OREGON DAWKINS-FAULKNERS reports from that fine city of bridges and neo-burlesque…
THE EMERGENCE OF AN INTRIGUING PUBLIC FIGURE
OVER TO TONY:
“Being as how you have a vested interest in such people holding public office, I’m pleased to introduce Steve Novick (if I’m the first Oregonian to share).”
NOVICK, according to his perfectly named website, he is a progressive with “a hard left hook.”
AT THE TENDER AGE OF 14 was he sent loose upon the hard streets of Oregon after the closing of his Junior High School due to budget cuts…
(AS YOU MAY KNOW, Oregon regularly ranks very highly in US News & World Report’s annual MOST DICKENSIAN STATE list)
…BUT RATHER THAN TURN TO A LIFE OF HOOK-HANDED PICKPOCKETING, he instead enrolled IN HARVARD LAW SCHOOL AT THE AGE OF 18, later acting as lead counsel in the Love Canal case. AND WHAT’S MORE, he is the only candidate for Senate who begins his official bio with a trivia question–so you know he has my vote.
(NOTE: I CANNOT VOTE IN OREGON)
SHOULD STEVE NOVICK PREVAIL and become a US Senator, he would, under obscure Oregonian law, be but A HOOK-HAND FROM THE PRESIDENCY.
NO MATTER YOUR AFFILIATION AND POLITICAL BELIEFS, I trust you will watch his candidacy with interest.

FROM THE COMMENTS, Molly alerts that Coulton is on YOUTUBE’s “FEATURED VIDEOS” list at this very moment.
WITH THIS AND HIS RECENT EXPOSURE in the Magazine of record, it is clear that my old feral man-child friend has eclipsed my own small measure of renown.
I SUPPOSE FOR THE NEXT BOOK he will just have to tour with the Geico Cavemen.

1969, DALLAS, TX: The first ATM machine is installed. Standing for “AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE MACHINE,” the first ATM could receive deposits and dispense cash (though only in coins) and was roughly the size of a city block. Despite its name, it was not wholly automated: A single human controller was required to supervise and make manual notations in the customer’s bankbook. He would sit in a little dome atop the machine. However, this bank employee was instructed to wear a tinfoil suit and talk like a machine so as not to ruin the futuristic effect. — SEPTEMBER 2
