The Grey Ghost of G Gordon Liddy

Sorry for the delay folks, but after my appendix burst, my car burnt through the overpass and a minor spot on my lung, I am alive and kickin, ready for another shout out into cyberspace.

The boric acid is on back order and I can't stop making coffins.

I was able to compile a new reading list for those who like to wear glasses:

  • Dolores Hayden's A Field Guide to Sprawl
supplying the political clout of vocabulary to join the long fight against Category-killers and LULUs

  • George Lakoff's Whose Freedom? The Battle over America's Most Important Idea
providing the foundational argumentational framework that after thirty years will bring this nation back to the progressive center where it belongs

  • Vandana Shiva's Biopiracy: The Plunder of Nature and Knowledge
educating the westerner on the actions of government and corpratocracy, the rise of a fundamentalist pseudoscience that has invaded international intellectual property right law

  • Elaine Scarry's On Beauty and Being Just
fantastic treatise dismissing the defamation of beauty and balance

  • Jim Sheeler's Final Salute
heart-wrenching accounts of the infamous "knock at the door" experienced by over four thousand families thus far


You'll find it quite an enlightening set of reading if not altogether uplifting.

Toodles.
