and the headstones climbed up the hills

The most interesting part was the coffins. Blocks upon blocks of very solemn protesters carrying flag-draped faux-coffins in front of Madison Square Garden while the camera framed the readerboard message from the GOP convention, "Thank You, New York!"

I've been reading Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaids Tale' and reading the news a lot more often. I'm having a hard time distinguishing one from the other, and the combination gives me TERRIBLE nightmares.

I heard Bush today comment that the War on Terrorism will never be over. Reminds me of perpetual war in 1984. It seem strange that they are so quick to say it will never end.

Yay news.

But the Handmaid's Tale is pretty hard to take.

Wow! I can't believe you said that. I've been thinking this administration's agenda was eerily similar to The Handmaid's Tale since long before the war started. It's scary. When do they lock women out of the workplace and close down our bank accounts?
