Quotes of the week
And, my friends,
in this story you have a history of this entire movement. First they ignore
you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And
then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. ~Nicholas Klein

corporations are people when Texas executes one of them” from Doonesbury,

"Everyone
thinks their opinion matters. Don't argue with a nobody. A farmer doesn't

Poem of the Week
In the Olden Days
The world held no color
but sepia.
Our bedside tables creaked beneath the weight
of daily hardships, buffered only by doilies.
We did without, did things by hand. We got more
snow. Our Mickey Mouse was far from cute.
We specialized in quaint and quirky phrases
like "23 Skidoo." Our songs rang dark
with forced joy and naiveté: "Aint We Got Fun?"
Staring from family photographs, we look
older than we are. Even as children, our faces
are shadowed with doubt and parental disappointment,
as if to say to those looking years from now:
We persist. We persevere. We do this for you.
