Required Reading

Sorry for the lack of new posts over the weekend. It's hard work -- ranting anonymously against The Man and his PHB Minions while I'm still trapped inside the system -- and sometimes I just need a little break. After all, if you think too hard about all of the injustices and inequalities in the world today, your head will just explode. And that could be really messy: bits of brain matter and skull fragments everywhere. Yuck. Pity the poor cleaning lady who has to clean up a mess like that.

Or cleaning gentleman. We're not sexist here in the Logorrhea Underground.

Okay, on to the required reading. I've got two articles today for you to check out:

-- "Bush Family Values: War, Wealth, Oil," a column by Kevin Phillips in the Los Angeles Times. Phillips wrote "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush." Note: you must register before reading anything on the LA Times Web site, but registration is free and relatively painless.

-- "Cincinnati group works to repeal law on gays," a story in today's Cincinnati Plain Dealer. Cincinnati has one of the most notorious anti-gay-rights ordinances in America, and it's about time that the law is wiped off the books. I'm pleased to see Cincinnati's corporate community weighing in with support and money to repeal the law. Firms like Procter & Gamble are letting everyone know that intolerance in the community is bad for business.
