Good News (and concerns)

Caspar Weinberger, scum, dead at 88. Weinberger was Secretary of War during the Reagan administration, tripled the national debt (though corporate press obituaries now recall his nickname as "cap the knife" for his "cost-cutting ways." Cue eye-rolling back into head.), and was a personal crony of the wickedest of evils, Reagan. As we love to say around here, Hell burns a little hotter tonight.


We've heard that Elbert "Big Man" Howard of the Panthers is recuperating in the Hospital. Naturally, we send our regards and hopes of a speedy recovery.



Addendum: There is a new, and interesting organization, The International Endowment for Democracy. And they've posted a nice library on democracy.
