Update, 10:30 PM: People’s Press Collective has released its first coverage (with plenty of telling photos) of the meeting in Brighton: Perlmutter “immediately went into a roped-off area of the portico, announced he’d be there for two hours, and then retreated to the even more isolated alcove with a half-dozen (apparent) constituents and bodyguards.

It’s awfully easy to accuse the BLS of fudging the numbers for political purposes, especially since an improving economy is likely to improve Obama’s chances for a second term. But honesty requires that we look more closely at those numbers.

“The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion”.
–Edmund Burke, 1729-97
“It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once”.
–David Hume, 1711-76
“. . . the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, ‘“I have found it [liberty]‘, merely shows by doing so that he has lost it”.
–Henrik Ibsen, 1828-1906
“If people ignore those who decry tyranny, the loudest favoring freedom will be the first to lose it”.
–A.W. Loescher, 1940-2010
After the imbroglio of NLE-09 was done, I warned it was merely a modest skirmish in the ongoing ‘cruel war’. Information overload choked the the snooper sites of the bight house. Despite the outcries from PILMOA, we are now identified as ‘domestic terrorists’. Our names are now on a dossier on Axelrod-Emanuel’s read-only mega hard drive. Another quote:
In Flanders Fields:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
–Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1918
