I just read this in an MSNBC story about the horrid bombing in Iraq today:

The leader of Iraqi National Congress and Governing Council Member Ahmad Chalabi, speaking on the al-Jazeera satellite television station, blamed the United States for failing to provide security and said the bombing was the work of Saddam loyalists who were trying to create sectarian discord in the country.

How quickly the worm turns. As everyone should remember, it was Chalabi who spent the past 30 years arranging for the US to overthrow Saddam Hussein - he was the great friend of the neo-cons and pushed erroneous information to get us to do his work - and now HE"s pissed at us.

Stop blaming your friends Mr. Chalabi

My mother called me up in a great mood this morning. She was happy for 2 reasons - first, that it's such a nice, sunny, clear day. She went on to say that there used to be a lot more days like this but now people keep fogging things up with their SUV's etc.
Secondly, she was happy to see that the Bush administration seems to be hog-tied by Iraq, even considering, gasp, help from the United Nations!

Good old mom....

Now playing - Little Triggers by Elvis Costello on my new Bose computer speakers. They are great!!!!

OK - I haven't posted for a while, I didn't even see a computer for 9 days after the blackout. I went for a computer free vacation and not only survived by thrived in upstate NY cooking a lot of the great products that are still grown in NY State. It's a great year for corn and tomatoes and cabbage and peaches and I got introduced to yellow watermelon - delicious!

My only news fix was my morning call to my mother - the big news of course the UN bombing in Baghdad. No comment - we will let actions speak for themselves and hopefully the votes will come together next year for some saner policies.

They must have been laughing real hard at us in Baghdad yesterday!

Oh well, electricity is back here - back to work....

OK, it's a new day - going to be a hot one... I'm down to 12 active jobs, finished a bunch yesterday and no new ones yet today. Listening to Greg Brown cd's - he's good and I often forget about him. Got to get to a folk festival again one of these days... Loudon Wainwright has a new live album coming out soon.

Almost finished with my Reagan book - got two more in the mail yesterday - one on the CIA under Bob Casey and another by Richard Reeves written during the middle of the Reagan years - I also have his book about Gerald Ford - a Ford not a Lincoln, on the summer reading list.

Tomorrow ostensibly I will be done and then can see Susan finally and go on vacation.

Now I have to estimate a job for BAM LDC.... I like lots of work but it gets me nervous!

Say Hi to Adrianne who is here in the office

I wish I knew how to update the links on the left - I'd like to add some.

I'm up to 19 jobs now - someone who runs a cab company wants to buy some labels for a mailing - I'm getting a little anxious trying to make sure I keep up with everything... 2 more bills to send out. Yikes!

I just got into work and nothing is happening, not only that, but my eyes are tired. Better make some coffee and get on with work!

I had a bandwidth meter here but I took it off - but I am impressed with html code

Oh, I keep forgetting to let you know about www.mailmore.com

Full moon, meteor showers, and I'm still stuck in Iran/Contraville. It's hard to believe that the current administration had the nerve to let John Poindexter back in government, instead of in jail, where he by all rights should be. There's enough people from the 1980's serving 20 years simply for selling cocaine - he allowed the country to sink in it.

I still have 17 jobs - this evening I took photos of Fifth Avenue and then fiddled around the rest of the time. I am reading a book about the 1980's called Sleepwalk Through History - America in the Reagan Years....

I have 17 mailing and publishing jobs right now. Why am I writing here? Why am I talking to Richard

OK - I will try again with a new post - here it is!
