People Have the Power
I’d say today’s a pretty good day to go vegan...
(Remember...tomorrow is both Fur Free Friday and Buy Nothing Day)
Personally, 2005 has been an incredibly challenging year but, among many things, I’m thankful that…
...my mom is still alive and well
...Michele will finally be done with school by mid-December
...this blog has become what it’s become
...I look so damn good in pink
(Sorry to fixate on the dress but I keep getting new images in my inbox...)
What are you thankful for?

WARNING: Self-promoting Demagoguery Ahead
Just heard from Nick Mamatas that 50 American Revolutions is the #9 bestseller this week in Everyone’s Books, the local progressive/radical bookstore of Brattleboro, VT.

Keir Neuringer, our Expendable representative in The Hague, can be heard in solo saxophone performance here today: http://tinyurl.com/7ognv.
Tune in at 3:00, New York time. That’s probably “tomorrow” for Helga.

In my CD player right now:
People Have the Power by Patti Smith
My teenage crush…
Vengeful aspects became suspect and bending low as if to hear
The armies ceased advancing because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions and laying arms to waste in the dust
In the form of shining valleys where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened/I awakened to the cry:
The people have the power
Happy Tofurky Day...
