Another day, another …

Thanks to Z who sent me to this editorial by Keith Olbermann (video version here). There’s not a word in it I disagree with; he states my measured and thoughtful opinion and view accurately.

So with keyboard in hand (because I didn’t want to have the delay inherent in my usual method of correspondence (postal mail), I used the Whitehouse contact form and wrote:

I find that I agree 100% with Mr. Olbermann’s comments as stated in this article “Ruined Senate bill unsupportable – Conservatives have destroyed this version of health care reform”. I believe the worst thing that could happen is to have this offensive (”must by insurance”, “no public option”, etc etc) bill pass. I earnestly would rather the thing be scrapped than this abysmal give-away to the very groups that one supposed would be the target of “reform”.

Here is the link to the editorial I reference above. Thank you for your time.

PS: I just removed myself from your (barackobama.com) mailing list as I am not recognizing the man I voted for.

Ack, typo. (by vs. buy) Oh well.

Viddy

From Slow Moscow past David Lynch’s Inland Empire discussions to Maya Deren and her prescient Meshes of the Afternoon and now at Netflix watching Berlin: Symphony of a Great City.

A full circle somehow.

I need to stop this and get some work done, but I love indulging my other brain parts for a change.

Eddie Izzard arrives in Northern Ireland

Isn’t that a brilliant flag?

He’s putting his feet and legs where his mouth is (that sounds odd) but what I mean to say is that he’s running about 1100 miles throughout the UK over six weeks to raise awareness and money. Donate just a bit here. I’ve been waiting until he got to Northern Ireland. I’ll pitch in my few pence now.
