In addition to the irony of being laid off for Labor Day, it comes not only during the time for paying bills, but in the days and weeks leading to the need to pay another year of DNS for ten of the domains I maintain and, even sooner than that, renew my Flickr Pro account.

So, it surely is too bad that Things From Another World hired someone else for the warehouse position they had open. It would have come in handy shortly when my current job suddenly is eliminated.
Back in May, when the City noted that they hadn’t heard from ‘Lie Boyles for awhile (that eventually changed, as she had to appear in local court), I pointed out that she was quite active on a Montana discussion forum, where she was helping spammers get their message out. At some point since then, while her profile there remains and claims that she has 29 posts, they’ve all been deleted.
The latest email missive from David Crowe and Restore America’s Bigotry begins with the warning: “Your daughter may pull her panties up to discover a man in the Women’s Restroom!” They’re asking their supporters to call Lars Larson’s radio show and complain that unless voters have the chance to stop the anti-discrimination law, that’s what will happen beginning next year.

So asks the subject line of the latest email out of the world of Kristin Hersh. Below is the relevant portion of this morning’s email, announcing just how she’s going to treat music — and the “industry” of it — from now on. You might recall that I recently linked a post of hers which serves as background for the following. She posted more just the other day.
Not content merely with carefully scripting Congressional visits to Iraq to control what’s seen and heard, war zealots now are distributing biographies of visiting Democrats which highlight — and often misrepresent — their positions and votes on the war.
I’m not entirely sure why some might be skeptical that the White House is “confident” they will beat the Democrats when it comes to Iraq policy, given that the leader of the Senate already is indicating he’s wiling to compromise again.
Those are, it seems, what OPB thinks of the blogosphere, despite the statement being akin to dismissing “television” as a medium based upon only the behavior of FOX News. It’s also an all too familiar case of glass houses and the throwing of stones.
Sometimes, things go the way they should. With his agent quoted as saying that the righteous wing house of bigotry known as New Hope Community Church is “not a place Ira wants to be associated with”, OPB reportedly is seeking a new venue for his visit.
What the bloody Hell kind of insect just had a mass hatching of Biblical proportions this afternoon? The air in Southwest was full of them, and now I note that the air in Southeast is as well.
