Fierce winds and a heavy rainstorm have knocked out my power! For how long, I do not know.... I would blog by candlelight, but my old-tech laptop's battery doesn't last long.

Meanwhile here I sit blogging at Starbucks' local WiFi hotspot. I decided to check my Yahoo email (which I never get except when I forget to check it!), and I found myself treated to a very worthwhile link. The multi-talented Jim Treacher referred me to several of his "blogtoons" about Ted Rall, which are so informative that they merit an entirely new post.

Read about Rall and his:

self serving "explanations" of his refusal to retract his attacks on grieving 9-11 widows

hypocritical appearance on O'Reilly (famed blog lover who will apparently do anything for ratings)

ridicule of a widow whose husband's throat was slashed by terrorists

Again, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Oh, don't forget, buy Ammo today! (Uncle Kim wants YOU!)
