I hope the Worker's Paradise gets here soon, as my paper might get shut down by the end of the year.

Half, if that. The renovation was substantial (and needed), but it's not as drastic as ripping the whole thing down and starting over.

What a fine sentiment that is. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

I give a little bit of a crap, but in New York, money generally trumps sentimentality, even though a lot more baseball history happened at Yankee Stadium than either Wrigley or Fenway.

Yes. I have recalled a memory of the dude at the post office telling me I should enlist instead of filling out the wussy little form.

Thank IHVH Winston Churchill isn't alive anymore, or he might rethink the following: "Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

Oh yeah. I think I signed up for that back in the '80s.

If things get bad enough that politicians will push for a draft, holy shit.

That's kinda just human nature, though. Bring back the draft, and people's dislike for the war in Iraq will turn serious just like that.

Sadly, there was no way for both Dallas and Philly to lose.

"That'd be awful."

Red Dawn II: 300 Million Angry Chinamen

Worse than they are now, it would seem. Maybe when AIG goes under. Maybe when we're like Germany in the 1920s, where people had to have a wheelbarrelful of cash to buy a loaf of bread. "A six-pack of Budweiser will cost $1,200!"

Actually, we had contract talks that day and our paychecks were late, so I had to borrow 10 bucks from a dude.

They are a pretty damned good rock 'n' roll band in the old style.

Poorly.

You can gloat a little bit.

When Iran stops it with the "we will destroy Israel" talk and defunds Hezbollah, then I would be in favor of ratcheting down our support of the IDF.

Yeah. That is the only thing the U.S. and the PRC will shoot at each other about.

That could be a treatment for a Red Dawn remake.

Did I sleep through this? It rained a bit here and was dank, but other than that, not much.

Not too shabby for a SUNY kid.

Tuck 'em.

That's true. School budgets across the state are going to get fucked rather rudely.
