My interview with Rosemarie Jackowski, a novel idea from The Mudge, and big news from Texas
MZ: If they offer you the chance to perform community service, will you choose that option?
Rosemarie “The Convict” Jackowski
RJ: No, and there is a reason. I have chosen to live the rest of my life in opposition, as long as the government continues to kill civilians. As I have stated in my courtroom speech, I and many others would gladly live the rest of our lives in prison if the U.S. would only stop bombing civilians. If I go to prison, I will be a model prisoner. That is different than performing community service. I do perform community service in many ways, but will refuse to perform government mandated community service. I see a big difference there.

Meanwhile, back at Rancho Expendable…
Does anyone realize that November is National Novel Writing Month?
It seems while his Punkin Blossom was off peeling a grape, The Mudge came up with an idea that I’ve dubbed:
The First Annual Expendable Challenge
Yes, our cantankerous comrade from Austin wants us all to register as members of a group (e.g. Mudge the Expendable) and then get ready to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.
Uncle Mudge sez:
“I’d really love to see Expendables go to http://www.nanowrimo.org and get these creative, interesting tyros to the trough and writing their great, irrepressible, excitable hearts out to completion.”
This challenge/invitation goes out to:
1. The regulars who identify as “Expendables”
2. The lurkers who prefer anonymity
3. Anyone who just stumbled onto this site today—expecting to find astute political analysis—and is wondering the hell is going on
4. Hell, even one of the friggin’ trolls might wanna write a novel about me and add it to my fake Wikipedia page
Any takers?

Finally, let’s end today’s post with some excellent news:
Yesterday was my mom’s final chemo treatment.
