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.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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
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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was that the one with the motorcycle through the window? That rocked. I am quite simple.

I didn't have the cable at that time, so I've never seen the video.
