I'll bite

A luau in Riverside Park sounds good. 

Not fud, but entertaining

And more substantial than talking heads on the teevee.

Quote of the day

"If this were a horror film, the downfall of the American economy could be karmic retribution, some manifestation of maize vengeance brought down by patient Native American spirits." 

And as Astrology Mundo pointed out, and my consort's friends in Santa Fe confirmed, the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 . . . 

"The fishermen

won't go down without taking the ecosystem with them." 

And on a similar note . . . 

A star crossed

My astropal may have the ultimate take on why the wingnuts won a victory that is already looking literally hollow, considering how appeasement can be a bitch in a country where a staggering 77 percent have turned against the conservative in chief. Next up, I hope, is a read on why an anchor baby would be so rabid about everything else that might be perceived as less than American. But at least I suppose we'll be spared breakfast burritos with sprinkles on top anytime soon.
