Happy Sunday

*
Some people are beginning to think that a fascist free-market coup is rapidly coming to fruition after decades of false starts and persistent efforts. I fervently hope that point of view is an overreaction to garden-variety sinister events. But I have not felt so uneasy about current events since October 1973, when the Yom Kippur War broke out around the time that Nixon was actively quashing the independent investigation of Watergate crimes that was being led by special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Memories are hazy, but I seem to remember rumors of behind-the-scenes nuclear brinksmanship versus the USSR at that time, which were feared in part to be an insane "wag the dog" exercise (during a shooting war in the mideast!) decades before the term had been coined.

Happy Sunday. Write to your Senators and Representative immediately about the enormous criminal transfer of wealth that has been "proposed" by the Bush Administration.
