A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
H. L. Mencken

My mood is darkening these days. Perhaps it's the schedule of the weird, perhaps it's this insconsistent weather, maybe it's the brand of coffee I'm drinking, who is to tell?


Secure here in the bunker I'm contemplating what music to listen to, some cuban folk music might be appropriate, ah, there's the thing. Ibrahim Ferrer who left us only a few short months ago, leaving the world a darker place for his absence.

perhaps it's the stready stream of bad news on the civil liberties front, 2006 is going to be a watershed year, people can either start demanding accountability for these ongoing rights violations emanating from the halls of power, or we as a people can roll over and take it. Whatever happens, 2007 is going to be what we make of it.


Perhaps a vacation is in order, it's been almost two years since my last respite from the day to day drudgery.
