Busy, Busy Days

So not much posting lately. This morning, I'm tabling at the Olympia Farmers Market with Veterans For Peace Chapter 109 members to educate fellow citizens about the adverse effects of America's war economy. This afternoon is a local candidates forum at a friend's potluck gathering.

And like all Americans, I'm wondering if the Republicans are going to drive the US into default in 2011 because the Democratic majority was too fucking scared to deal with the debt ceiling when they had the majority. Reading some of the Republican apologia for default, I keep hearing echoes of "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."
