Amazing in her awesomeness…

by Frank Paynter on September 2, 2008

Anne Elizabeth Moore, famous author (“Unmarketable”) and Code Pinkerton, provides a continuous flow of tweets, blog posts , and FlickR pics from the RNC this week. I am embarrassingly out of touch, but looking through Anne’s pictures I saw Voices in the Wilderness’s own Kathy Kelly and wondered what was up with her. A little Googling and I saw that she has walked from Chicago to St. Paul with a group called Witness Against War.

In Sparta, Wisconsin following her arrest at Fort McCoy, Kathy was briefly jailed on an outstanding warrant for a civil disobedience arrest at the US Navy’s E.L.F. installation in 1999. Her fellow walkers were cited and released.

Every Day is Labor Day

by Frank Paynter on September 2, 2008

I was just watching a jingoistic clip about good old Teddy Roosevelt and San Juan Hill and that bloody chapter in the American imperial adventure and I realized I’d let Labor Day pass with remark on this blog.

I think that the struggle is not over and the trip is a long one. Here’s a song to help you on your way, friends.

And good luck to all of you!
