Done
Finally did the right thing and ordered Allison Weiss’ new cd and her cartoon t-shirt. Got to support that kind of cool DIY music type thing.
Socialism
Did you know that there were 55 socialist weekly newspapers in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas in the 1910s? Someone ought to write in the NYT about this.
