lagilmanHello my fellow US Citizens (the rest of you can skip down to the last item in this post):
You're probably tired of me sounding the alarm and telling you to get up and DO, but I'm going to do it again. More, I'm going on record as saying that if you're not calling your representative critter first thing Monday morning and asking if they've LOST THEIR MINDS regarding this baby-with-the-bathwater bailout proposal (hint: you want to them to vote no), you've drunk some very bad kool-aid. Running scared into a Really Bad Idea is far worse than holding scared for a halfway-responsible one, especially when the Really Bad Idea basically equals giving all our money to the wipes who screwed up in the first place, and not putting ANY restrictions on what they can do with it for two years. WTF?
Scared + Stupid = Doubly Screwed.
--------------------------
On the political side, a few pics from what's being billed as the largest rally in Alaska. I am reminded of all the New Yorkers who went "oh lord, NO!" when Rudy tried to go national... it pays listen to the people who had to put up with them locally, folks...
-------
In less important but satisfying news, the Giants won. Barely, in OT, in a game they should have put away early. But they won and nobody looked hurt, so yay for that....
------------
Oh, and if you're still reading, the web site's been updated. Some new excerpts, some new quotes, some new details on VINEART WAR....
