I MOVE THAT WE GO ON A GENERAL STRIKE

“I have listened to all the speakers,” she said. “I would not have further patience for talk, as I am one of those who feels and suffers from the things pictured.

“I move that we go on a general strike.”

The audience stood and roared its assent. In the days that followed, 20,000 to 40,000 workers, women and men, went on strike. They were backed by wealthy patrons, many of them suffragists, who provided bail money and small stipends. In February 1910, most of the factories agreed to recognize the Women’s Trade Union League as the representative for the workers.

Man falling down stairs while German.

The rabbit casserole is gone.

For the first time he doubted his trampoline.

Sisters should never eat alone.

Give me that map, Mabel. I'll get us out of this marriage.

MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL 03/23/11

What do you make of a population that chooses to shoot itself in the head at every critical juncture over the last 30 years, then has the audacity to complain about their predicament? Stupid white suburbanites have dedicated themselves to the wholesale dismantlement of a Major American city - in the name of progress, no less! - for the entirety of their adult lives. Across all political parties and backgrounds, decisions were made about land use, mass transit, guided by paranoia, greed, gluttony and hatred. And then they turn around and are shocked to discover they are regarded as a joke by the rest of the world. The response? Local radio gives us self-righteous racist shitheads bragging, once again, that they aren't responsible for anything or anyone outside their own immediate appetites...

Nightcap 03/22/11

What we’re dealing with is Frogs Dressed as Men. No two ways about it. Little wigs, tiny pants, special shoes for their grotesque feet. And they expect to be treated as men. As equals!
Never mind their lack of lips, denying them the power of speech. They’re here in huge numbers and will not waiver. I’d ask the Lord for help, but I suspect he may be behind this.
