Once again, the accusations have been leveled that I don't post often enough. Well, there's a good reason...

According to the FBI, I'm already a domestic terrorist.

"Anarchists and extremist socialist groups -- many of which, such as the Workers' World Party, Reclaim the Streets, and Carnival Against Capitalism -- have an international presence and, at times, also represent a potential threat in the United States." --former FBI director Louis Freeh, before the United States Senate Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and Select Committee on Intelligence, May 10, 2001


Now, I'm not actually a member of Workers' World, but I've been to a few protests organized by WW-affiliated groups (where I was photographed by Secret Service agents) and am a subscriber to their weekly newspaper. And in this brave new post-9/11 world, we all know that that's more than enough to make me guilty by association.

But fuck it. Though I may be a "domestic terrorist," I haven't been branded an "enemy combatant" and held without charges...yet. And since I'm not sitting in a cell in Guantanamo Bay, I'm still (theoretically) free to post this...



Happy 80th birthday, Fidel! Get well soon.

Indeed! Happy Birthday to Fidel! One of the most remarkable and enduring heads of state of the last half century. The Castro regime has been harsh and repressive at times, but to me it seems, never arbitrary.

Yikes! That's scary- watch your back when it comes to Big Brother.

Yeah- I write about all the fun parts of working in a titty bar, but there are very disturbing things also. When I can sort it all out- I'll have my thoughts up there.
