...which is one of the best things about winter. You can become a walking mound of soft and warm things. I've been listening to music that would send my father to his deepest happy place. I've been mending things with my fancy embroidery thread... a hippie pastime... and intermittently looking in at the news... and... well... I don't have anything to blog about so far. I've been talking about the latest pretend terrorist thing over yonder, but I don't really want to talk about it at all. I have to trust you to be smart enough not to need any hints about this shit by now, or, really, what's the good in living on the same planet with you at all?

  3. Thanks for the lap bomber link. I don't EVEN want to talk about this shit anymore. It's way past time we just rose up and put a halt to this crap, but I get moved to yelp about it when people insist on treating it as though it were a real terrorist thing, as though we are really under this untenable burden of terrorist threats, WHEN IT'S 100% GOVERNMENT STOKING IT, MANAGING IT, CAUSING IT, BULLHORNING IT to keep the corrupt gravy train in good order and to drag us further down into a fascist police state.

    And, BB2, pretty scary when I beat the Bee to a story by so long, innit?

  5. jo6pac,

    That article pretty much sums up my thoughts on the whole mess.

  6. That article is so close to what I've been saying over on the Shallow Tweet thread at Brad's Democratic Shill Drag it's uncanny... and reinforces my point about how we shouldn't have to even be talking about this anymore.

    I just keep remembering how much pity we all felt for the poor saps stuck Behind the Iron Curtain. Well. WE'RE behind it now. FUCK.

  7. Read this and this is just a guy that reviews wine for a living. If this was France, life would go as normal, they never closed sidewalk cafes during the late 50/early 60 during the bombing.

    Your right 99 we have been in slightly closed camp and it's clamping down some more because the sheep are scared and not angry
