is it possible?

Is it possible that the administration is overreaching even within their own coterie of neo-con nutballs? Is someone finally willing to say to the Vice President "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?"

Read this, but read it through to the end.

I was horrified to learn earlier this morning that a friend of mine died quite suddenly of cancer this morning. She had fought through a bout before, and had come through OK, though only after great pain and hardship. Apparently there was a sudden resurgence of it in the last few months, and it carried her off very quickly.

She was a very much larger-than-life person, acerbic, loud, honest, outspoken, a gay rights and anti-AIDS activist. I don't believe she had a partner at the moment, though I feel rather bad that I don't know for sure.

There's an obit in the Washington Blade, I'm glad to see. I'm very proud to have been a friend of hers.

Anyone want to go? I saw Breanndán Begley's brother Seamus a couple of years ago as part of the Blas festival, and he was super!

Also, Tannahill Weavers are coming in October!
