Snail Races

...where even the winners are slow and slimy. It's all a matter of degrees, really. Reality based since 1692.

wolcott rocks

this is why Wolcott rocks... he understands what is going on in America today.

This country is wearing a blindfold, staggering backwards, and slitting its own throat in slow motion. Watch the cable news, listen to our elected leaders: there's no more urgency about the economic decline in living standards dead ahead than there is about addressing global warming or loosening the chokehold of military spending. A country where "evolution" is becoming a bad word is not a country interested in facing reality. Instead, as the passage of the bankruptcy bill shows, corporate-political power is going to grind every last dollar out of the desperate and destitute rather than confront the difficult macro decisions. The elites in this country have never had it so good, and as long as they're prospering the distress will (be) smothered under the surface, kept under a lid.
