Friday, October 19 – This space has been rather quiet lately. We spent about a week hammering on 1s and 0s to make our new Distribution map work. Then we had to scurry to organize a rather large number of letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, photographs, and miscellaneous other components into something that vaguely resembles a newspaper. We’re pleased to report that the paper is now on the street, and in the mail. Among other things, it includes an account of the Flag Police’s encounter with the shamefully-tattered flag shown at right. They spotted it right across the street from The Clip Joint. The Flag Police …

Thursday, October 11 — No doubt some visitors wondered if we’d wandered off and gotten lost in some dusty corridor, and become bemused by a dusty old volume of back issues from a previous century. No, not this time. We have been nudging tiny little patches of magnetism one way and another, making piles and stacks of them, knocking them over accidentally, spilling coffee on them, brushing them with our frayed coatsleeves, arguing with them, threatening them, bribing them, pleasing with them, nearly despairing of them, and, finally, somehow, coercing them, to organize themselves in such a way that they have produced this map, showing …

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 …
