Wednesday, September 26 — Sailors, take warning. Granted, our little Canon may have over-emphasized the red end of the spectrum when old Sol peered over the Atlantic about 6:34 a.m., but that doesn’t mean the forces of greed and stupidity aren’t out to take away our freedom. Aside from the photograph above, about all we have to offer today are a couple of new links, and the same old argument (see below for that). Then we have to disappear behind the curtain and continue development of one of our more insidious schemes to assist in the takeover of this government by the citizens. Naomi Wolf …

Tuesday, September 25 — We’ll skip right over the excuses for not posting recently, and offer these images of Sunday’s Peace and Labor Parade. Yes, Peace and Labor, commingled in a single parade on a perfect late summer day. Here’s proof that irony is non-toxic, no matter how large the dose. Congratulations for a splendid event to Peter Somssich and the Labor/Portsmouth Peace Treaty Parade Committee, Paul O’Connor and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Metal Trades Union, and Stephanie Seacord, Portsmouth Peace Treaty Committee. Our favorite band in all the land was on hand, of course, and in fine fettle. The Leftist Marching Band (LMB) was …

Friday, September 21 – Yes, this thing looks all disheveled. It is all disheveled. But before too long (note the indefinite term) it will be back in shape and rolling along nicely again. Meanwhile, note the spiffy new banner up there, signifying that where it counts the most – out there in meatworld – we have done it again, unleashing another 88,000 pages of pure … whatever it is we do, on an unsuspecting world.

Tuesday, September 11 — Well, here it is, September 11, 2007. It’s raining like stink, and thunder and lightning are expected. It’s a far cry from the exquisite weather of six years ago. The daily papers are doing nothing to lighten the mood. The Boston Globe’s obligatory piece on today’s anniversary looks at people coping with successive discoveries of the fragmented remains of their loved ones. The Award-Winning Local Daily does its part by offering a smorgasbord of predictable thoughts from the usual subjects. Meanwhile, in DC, Congress is sitting in the expensive seats, at the taxpayers’ expense, watching a command performance of “Waiting for …

Friday, September 7 – The new date on the masthead above is your tipoff that we have put out another paper. By our calculations, since each issue contains about 16 square feet of printed surface, that adds up to somewhere on the order of 32 acres of text, photos, &c., all of it given away free. None of the content is dictated by any political party, corporation, or non-profit organization. The cost of the operation is born entirely by subscribers and advertisers. Now, if you will excuse us, we have mailing and distribution chores to attend to. At right: an anonymous reader enjoys a previous …

Monday, September 3 – In the penultimate frame of yesterday’s Doonesbury, after rattling off a short but appalling set of facts about the U.S. national debt, radio talk show host Mark Slackmeyer asks his guest, “Where did the myth of GOP financial responsibility come from?” While we can’t verify or refute Trudeau’s notion that the Easter Bunny and the myth of GOP financial responsibility share the same origin, we are compelled to point out that the myth of which he speaks shares a delivery system with his own cartoon: newspapers — corporate-owned, profit-driven newspapers. They are so ubiquitous as to be nearly invisible, like water …
