One of those fruitcakes accosted me in the SEPTA yesterday. “Hey man, are you a registered Democrat? You are? Good, will you sign this petition to put Lyndon LaRouche on the ballot?”

Here’s some much needed catch-up.

from juancole.com:
The press has concentrated on the significance passing the 500 mark (346 from hostile fire) with regard to deaths. But in this war, the injuries that have been survived have been horrific.

Frank Wakefield (or Wake Frankfield, as he sometimes calls himself) posted to the bluegrass-l. Frank is the best mandolin player in the world. He can play rhythm, melody, and harmony all at the same time. He is practically unknown outside of bluegrass, and because he’s a weirdo, he doesn’t really get the respect [...]
