Let me get this straight--the Bush administration is funding Sunni and al Qaeda elements to reduce Shiite influence? Al Qaeda? If Seymour Hersh is right, this is the equivalent of the Iran-Contra affair combined with Watergate, only worse. Funneling money to the group responsible for 9/11? Jesus H. Christ--even I haven't been accused of anything that sick.
What the fuck is going on? And now Condi "Maximum Incompetence" Rice thinks Saddam was the equal of Hitler and that this fiasco in Iraq bears any resemblance to World War II?
Why isn't there a march on Washington?
Oh, the picture is of my bunker cum workshop where I hunker in the fetal position most days, glancing only briefly at my monitor to prevent head explosions. Just thought you'd like to picture me in my underground lair. I relocated here trying to cheer myself up after Chimpie's reelection, but it didn't do any good. He and his limitlessly incompetent and evil minions are still there. Maybe I'll go back to lining my cap with aluminum foil.
The vise and grinder are more useful than you can imagine. I've also got electrodes with nipple clamps, a bandsaw, a pre-1962 deep-fat fryer, and over two hundred pounds of reconstitutable chicken fat. Next project--periscope. If you've got any info on a WWII-vintage U-boat type, drop me a line. I'm also trying to get a good deal on bulk latex.

There's a march on Chicago, March 20. Waddya say, Big O? Theoretical Avengers Reunite???
Hey, Olaf, do you rent that room out? I would love to use it to play out some of my cold war fantasies with my boyfriend...
Roleplay anyone...?
cb
Oh, CB... you are so dirty.
I'd love to come, just to see you all, but I'm through marching. Even with an electoral mandate the "opposition" party is too fearful to act--democracy in this country is dead. We will have to revisit Jefferson's guidance on how it is to be restored, I fear.
Oh, and CB--what is this boyfriend stuff? Is there something I don't know?
Yeah, Olaf. I sent you a message on the *other* place we correspond some times...
Ah yes, the "dead drop." It's like we're spies, eh? Pretty cool.
Thanks for getting me up to date. And here I was hoping Olaf was your true love--after all, I have the bunker.
Oh, Olaf, you'll always be my one true love!!! Maybe Mrs. Olaf will be up for a threesome...
...Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here...
cb
Whew! (fans self) it IS a little steamy in here... :)
Olaf, if you come to Chicago, I promise we won't make you march. We just want to see you. Bring Mrs. Olaf, too! We'll make a real par-tay.
Hey, why don't you join the green party or the libertarians or something? "Opposition" doesn't have to mean alligning yourself with the worthless dems... This period of change in the country could open up some doors for real opposition parties...
I promise we'll be up your way someday--right now I'm in no position to travel. More on that in an alternate medium.
I'll return to active involvement as soon as I can sort out whether 'tis better to work in a sliver minority party that is at least true to principle or swallow the sick compromises that politics is made of. Must one face the fact of a plutocratic party (with two faces) leading a mass of willingly ignorant consumers rather than a raucous democracy in which the rich and powerful tremble in fear of the people?
Exile to Berlin and retirement to a lonely observer of the American empire as it self-destructs may be all that is left.
