Thank You too.

  [what the hell do I do anyway?]

Today I'm making beans, rice & cookies [under the agesis of Food Not  
Bombs] for a "Rally in the Valley" celebrating [and featuring] Cindy  
Sheehan.  [I ask Robin & Jason what's going to happen there—"Lots of  
preaching to the choir ", "A lot of 'Right On's' will be shouted."]  
Some how the counterpoint of our local soiree, played over 24fps' main  
theme with an ostinato of war, war, war as realized by real humans  
turned real monsters produces a fugue state, just on the fine edge of  
the whole thing falling apart—as expressed in our ongoing Chomsky  
firefight.

I guess that's what I do. Make cookies, not war.

But we'll probably get into some small skirmishes over the non-PC  
nature of the cookies. There's the blood, sin and waste of eggs [de- 
beaking, mass chicken slaughter, tiny cage torture, Sarah Palin  
belching into a microphone with an abattoir as a backdrop], similar  
carnage in the butter [veal marscapone, Upton Sinclair, that whole  
Treyf thing] walnuts [food allergies]. The beans & rice ought to be  
safe: they're 100% vegan.

Anyone else notice the high degree of vegetarian consciousness in  
Against the Day?
