Back without Hack
I'm sorry to be silent for another week, but I'd already been fighting a cold when last Tuesday rolled around, and staying up late to watch THE CRUSHING VICTORY!!! aggravated it big time: I woke up on Wednesday with a scratchy throat, a nasty cough, and a voice that quickly went from gravelly to gone. So I was pretty much miserable for the rest of last week, though for a change in an even-year November it wasn't because of unhappy election results. For the first time in my voting life, I live in a blue state—though still in a disturbingly red county (55% McCain, 44% Obama—yikes). Oh well. Be happy for a small return to health and for a big step toward national sanity. Meanwhile, my cold seems to have been transmitted over the internet to the good Generik. Sorry, man.
I'll be back in a bit with something for Random Flickr Blogging and something for Veterans Day. Meanwhile, DO NOT MISS this excerpt from "100 deconstructions of the Republican logo" by Thomas Fuchs (h/t C&L). It's graphic genius.
I can't decide which one is my favorite: the elephant as Serpent, the elephant committing seppuku, or the elephant walking away from its own brain. It's an embarrassment of riches!
