A highly irregular weblog dedicated to Truth, Justice, and American Cheese…!
Great news! According to Nanovirus, the Democrats now have a chance to capture that coveted voting constituency: total f****ing morons!
(Yes, yes, I know that I am supposed to be posting only “original” material during the Weekend Without Echoes. I’ll get there, but this was just too damn funny…!)
Longtime readers of this website may recall that I am a fan of Ted Rall. In 1995, Ted published an article in a now defunct magazine titled “Quit Your Job, Work is a Sham“. I remember seeing photocopies of it posted in my workplace, and it really spoke to me, primarily because my job sucked. Much has changed since then — Ted has become a very successful writer and cartoonist, jobs are being outsourced to the other side of the planet, and I love my current job — but it is still a worthwhile read.
Thanks to “an obsessive blogger’s efforts at transcription“, that work is available online for the first time. First, wow, I can’t believe some guy typed that all in by hand, and second, give it a read, it’s worth your time.
My favorite local activist group, the CCPJ, is hosting a local Impeachment Teach-in (.PDF) tomorrow, July 19, at the UU Church on Rugy Road. The event is sponsored by the Center for Constitutional Rights as part of their national teach-in series. This is a grass roots effort to get our leaders to pay attention to the very serious abridgements of constitutional democracy perpetrated by the current White House administration. Further information can be found here.
My favorite local activist group, the CCPJ, is holding a bit of political theater today at Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall near the Freedom of Expression Wall. “Big Head” Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice will be on display in chains and with guards to provide a humorous face to the not-so-funny calls for Bush Administration accountability. See Bushchaingang.org for more history and details.
UPDATE: David Swanson has posted pictures from the Downtown event at AfterDowningStreet.org
