Jane: Thanks for the images. “The Kiss” is all over Blogolandia today. But am I the only one who remembers the politically notorious Brezhnev Honecker smooch? Google the image. It was used a lot as the countries of Eastern Europe changed governments and left the Soviet system behind (more or less).

Meanwhile, Viva Italia (2-0 in the last seconds). For those of you who understand Italian and would like a different take on patriotism, I also recommend the last track, “Vivia Italia,” on the superlefty CD Appunti Partigiani by the Modena City Ramblers and other fine musicisti. JJ.

Rumors are flying fast and furious

I hope that the AFL-CIO is going to rescind the endorsement of a man who they were lead to believe is a Democrat is one of them.

I wonder if the GOP would get its folk to switch party affiliation for the primary in CT.

Neuro- I’m on a mac, there’s no comments button on mine but that’s because it’s all on one page, no REad the REst blah blah and all the comments are under OFG’s post.

I assume that the behind-the-scenes wizards are fixing the front page and OFG’s post. Perhaps one of them would be kind enough to come back to this thread and let us know when it’s done. In the meantime, having met OFG at YKos, I can assure y’all that he could sell ice to the Inuit. It does not surprise me that his door to door campaign is successful. It probably even works with his male neighbors, but I’ll bet the women are not only eating out of his hand, but sneaking in a lick or two. :>)

O/T. Sort of.
South Korea, for all its economic success, is an environmental horror-show, hyper-development having left virtually no natural lands, waters, or wildlife. The only place left in peace is the DMZ, where one of the planet’s most endangered cranes, the white-naped, winters. Take a look at http://www.savingcranes.org/sp....._naped.cfm
to see what bird I am talking about. [I work on a project to save the most endangered of the cranes, and perhaps one day we can discuss the savage assault on the environment that seems to be the least discussed of the rapine conducted by this country’s band of malicious freebooters. ANWR is just the tip of the (melting!) iceberg.]
