The Bard of Wherever

Well folks, this is how it is done.  If they can do it to William Shakespeare, they can do it to anyone.  Here's a guy, wrote 36 plays unparalled in excellence, are known the world over, are the bases for "hit movies," changed literature and human thought forever, but if The Powers That Be decide they want to take away what is yours, well, too bad, you lose.  It could be Justice Stevens denying Shakespeare, or it could be the Bush clan denying the plainly-spoken will of the American people -- it's all part of the same continuum of lies, betrayal and theft.

I am sickened.

Deep thought of the day

The economy, like certain women, disdains "nice guys" and gladly throws itself after "bad boys."  Do good work and follow the rules, like Circuit City, and the economy leaves you in the lurch, you find yourself out of work and out of cash and having to rent your spare bedroom out to a grad student.  But if you're a muscle-bound, bullet-headed rule-breakers like AIG, you find yourself continuously showered with economic affection no matter how much damage you do to people's homes.
