Peace Activists Freed

Sojourners reports the good news that Harmeet Singh Sooden, Jim Loney and Norman Kember have been released from captivity!

I have no words to explain my gratitude that three came back two weeks after Tom Fox's body was discovered.

Blessed be the peacemakers.

I can't get myself to write much about anything, it could be mental exhaustion brought on by the rising cost of gas and groceries or by the endless waves of cruel corruption rolling out of Washington.

The economy is a badly disguised sinkhole and we are blowing $100,000.00 a minute to trash lives so that the Neocons can pretend they are freedom's gift to God for fun and profit. Last week they stuck us with an additional $30,000.00 per person treasury debt so they are busy creating more tax cuts for the wealthiest among us.

Next week they will be getting ready to give our National Parks to one private interest or another but they will stick us with the tab for road building for spite. Has a government ever so despised it's own citizens?

Oh joy, Bobby Keenan is challenging Burns. Oh joy.
