We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Gus the drug war is a disgrace. I hope there is a provable flaw in the case against your farmer friend.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Thanks, Typo. I agree, the "drug-war" is all about suppression and oppression. Also? It is about "chilling effect". I confess that the jack-boots have stomped on my willingness to say more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks for the link, Laura. i knew there were elections today, but did not make the obvious leap that there would therefore be election returns.

I remember the (recent) mayor of NOLA as being outraged against FEMA, which puts him down in my book of Good Guys. There was also a thing about one NOLA mayorial candidate being into campaigning-by-photoshop.

That is all I've got for NOLA.

Nagin was a Democrat for Bush in 2004, started criticizing the Feds after he got screwed by Bush along with his city. He has continued to play a role in some of the post Katrina horrors that are forcing poor people out of the city. Still a lesser evil compared to Landrieu, so it is good news that he won.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

P!nk vs. President Bush

It's not Dylan, but a fine start.

Also, A thousand or so protesters block Bush's motorcade.

Interesting times.

O, for the days of city-states, when Kings were measured in counties, rather than continents.

That city-state thing worked out so well for Carthage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel the need to say that I've liked Pink since "There You Go."
