- Everyone had a favorite baby blanket or stuffed animal as a child. Mine was a small green blanket with little animals on it. There was also a small patch ironed on in one of the corners; I think it might have been He-Man or G.I. |

- What was it like, the young man wondered, to call Waffle House your home? The much older man in front of him was at the bar, unaware he was being watched. Unaware of anything really; his eyes were closed, his mouth slightly open, his breathing rhythmic, and the young man knew he was asleep. The man's life was a simple story. |

- The streets around Madison Square Garden are lined with concrete barricades, thigh-high highway dividers with dark metal grilles bolted onto the top. The air is sticky, polluted, miasmic, the most uncomfortable summer weather New York has to offer. Half the street is blocked by the barricades, forming an alley guarded by police. Well, if Mayor Bloomberg wants to bring George Bush into a city where three-fourths of the people can't stand him, they've got to put him in a fortress. The normal upscale cocoon of midtown Manhattan isn't enough. |

- Another double post from my site. Just trying to keep things lively around here. I ask every customer I deal with at REI if they found everything they came in for. A good portion of the customers that I pose this question to have some 'clever' response, usually that they were hoping to find some made-up item, such as a backpack which reduces the weight of the things packed in it, or a tent that is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. I always try to laugh and give the customer the impression that they are the first person to make such a witty request. |

- "Αυτή η βία, η επαναστατική, η απελευθερωτική, δε νομιμοποιείται όπως η βία του επίσημου κράτους. Η βία του κράτους νομιμοποιείται μέσω των θεσμών που το ίδιο διαμορφώνει ώστε να κατοχυρώσει και να επεκτείνει την εξουσία της τάξης που εκπροσωπεί. Η επαναστατική βία όμως νομιμοποιείται από την ίδια τη λειτουργία της μέσα στην ιστορία, από την ίδια την ιστορική αναγκαιότητα κατίσχυσης του καινούργιου επάνω στο παλιό. Αυτή ήταν η βία του ΕΑΜ απέναντι στους Γερμανούς κατακτητές και τους συνεργάτες τους και, όπως θα δούμε παρακάτω, τέτοια ήταν και η βία που άσκησε ο ΔΣΕ - βία απαντητική και απελευθερωτική." |
