Irony Is Not Dead


Check this out. It's an invitation/fundraising announcement about the Eyes Wide Open anti-war installation, which I received today from the American Friends Service Committee. AFSC, for the uninitiated, is a Quaker organization. You know, the pacifists? Now look closely at the United States Post Office cancellation stamp: "Celebrating the 230th Army Birthday."

Hmmmmm.

(Incidentally, if any of my multitudes of readers are in the Chicago area, this exhibit is phenomenal. Do go and see it.)

It's Clinton's fault.

What can I say? "My" government embarasses me at every turn...that is just a small example of the goof ups that go on every day.
