RIght.  So bearing in mind that I have La Grippe eating my brain ( Read more... )

Now, listen.  I don't intend for this to be a hyper-political blog; that's not my purpose for this, nor has it ever been.  But there are moments in history that should be acknowledged.  This, I think, is one of them.
