Strange Times

A Purple Coneflower in my garden spawned this extremely unattractive green blossom.

It's just another weird thing that fits in with the peculiar times we are experiencing lately. Having spent two days dealing with a household meltdown, I didn't register the extent of the Bailout earmarks until listening to Creative Unity Collective on WBAI this morning. The cast did a scathing satire on the legislation. Click here to get the show on WBAI's archive.

Here is a link to a blog post with the full list of earmarks. Expect more analysis from blogs and legacy media in coming days, as well as more satire on the airwaves. This pork-o-rama goes far beyond the "eeeuw" factor, it is an insult to the American public.
