I just hugged Greg Palast!
Hodaddy was in Denver to promote his new book and work with Be the Change on some election workshops.
His lecture was great and there were a lot of people there, maybe three hundred. Afterwards he told me not to lose hope. And he did say that if we made a big showing at the election booths (the other side has a 3 plus million vote advantage just by cheating. Can we do it by sheer numbers? Yeah, we could.

He made me feel better, even after the lecture which pretty much demonstrated how enslaved we are to the oil cartels.

Yay Greg! buy Armed Madhouse!

2. AW HELL,...YOU LUCKY DOG!!!!!
Okay, okay,...I confess I have the capacity to be envious!!!!!!

I got to hug Helen, that wee bit of a very mature lady. It was,...well, humanitizing,...sanitizing away those humans who make such ugly choices. Know what I mean?

Still, I read his book, "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" and it was so impactful. I'll just enjoy your hug, vicariously, if you don't mind. :7

11. I got Armed Madhouse
on audio CD. He never ceases to amaze me with what he finds out, and our "media" neglects to. Or at least refuses to tell us.
