I'm one of those millions. That's right one of those millions of American's out of work.

I'm a lawyer. And I found myself rather unceremoniously laid off back January. Black Thursday I think they called it - half a million of us in one day (or so it was announced).

Now, here we are in November, 9 months later.

Still jobless. In a new city. Sick. And about to lose my insurance coverage.

In Rwanda, war crimes prosecutors found that broadcasters were guilty of war crimes for using the airwaves to encourage the activities of murderers.

Is this the appropriate framework for thinking about Tiller's murder and the part played by "pundits" that support the activities of anti-abortionists and "shock jocks" ?

Remember "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?"

Sure you do. Big Daddy and that famous line, " What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?"

Well the mendacity was flowing pretty thick in St. Paul last week wasn't it? Here's just one more lump...

If like me - its been a long time since you actually read the entirety of the Declaration of Independence (if ever you read it completely-- or since High School perhaps?) I thought I'd offer it up for a refresher.

It is really a most interesting bill of particulars against Mad King George III detailing those things that brought our founders to the point where they were prepared to risk life and livelihood in revolt.

Be sure to read past the first couple of paragraphs to see if some of the charges against that Mad George don't sound a bit famliar to you.... (my comments follow in parentheses and italicized)

This is my first diary entry. Hope you like it. I wrote it because I needed an outlet for deep deep frustration, and lately, despondency over current U.S. foreign policy.
