Is there something in the air?
"Call out the instigators

Because there's something in the air

We've got to get together sooner or later

Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

And you know that it's right"

-Thunderclap Newman



Is something fundamental going on? I see people finally standing up all over the place. It's sometimes ugly and confrontational, but they didn't listen when we were polite. Whether it's the normally genial Ron Reagan telling off Limbaugh:

or Jesse Ventura coming close to breaking a Fox and Fiender's neck:

is this the turning point where we say enough? They say a leader is someone who watches where a crowd is going and says "wait for me, I'm your leader!". Maybe Obama should take a look at where this crowd is heading and, coolly of course, get in front of us.

I'M back, aren't I?

And as we all know, I'm a firebrand. My father calls me his "radical" son.

6. Burning eyes nose and throat. Not as bad as when younger. If there is to
be a revolution, please hold it until after hay-fever season.
