• Sun reflecting bright.
  A lure, come outside, its nice…
  And then freeze to death.

  One a local politics list, someone took some pretty nasty shots at a local art collective that had burned down.

  I’ve been taking some time off that list, but after some thought and encouragement, I decided to make a post contradicting the attack. Especially difficult in this case as it is a local list and we’re supposed to avoid international topics, but the attacks were in the form of suggesting that the place was evil and anti-Jewish because of its support of Palestine.

  Anyway, I got a sideline response thanking me for posting it and had a little correction that blew me away:
  

  “It was actually the 1967 border, not the 1968 border, fyi. I was there.”

  It is bad over there now, but I can’t imagine being over there then. It is a bit daunting to speak when one realizes that some of those listening have so much more experience in and knowledge about the subject.

  *heh* Perhaps I’m just not used to being in that situation.

  …

  Anyway, here’s a fun Mark Fiore flash for today. He puts serious information into nice little bite sized entertaining chunks.

  Oh, and as long as we’re talking about videos, everyone knows about the Move On “Bush in 30 seconds” ad, right? The one that CBS is refusing to air? If not, be sure to check it out. It is the winner in a contest of amateur produced videos and while it is definitely propaganda, it is well done propaganda.

  Happy Birthday Mom!
