Exhausted

I have let all together too damn much work go for the last minute. As a result I am exhausted, grouchy, and not doing my best at anything.

I will not be posting for a few days (daze?) as a result of my massively poor organizational skills. Please take the time to read some of the past postings. Maybe send a comment or two.

I will be back... with more fun and games from the Dancing Fool.

Live, Laugh, Love!

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!


You know, I've always wanted to yell that in a newsroom, see all of the presses come to a scretching halt as the front page is reformed to include my new article... (yeah, the red typeface may be a bit over the top, but what the hell? Have you read "Hot Abercrombie Chick's" neo-fascist rants? Cute and reactionary... But I digress)

No such luck. I do have some good news,though. I am being published on Garlic and Grass, a grassroots webpage for social activists. I reworked my tDF posting, "The Christian Right is Neither" and it was accepted for publication. Keep your eyes open for that article, or read the original...

Ok... turn the presses back on, I, er, ... sorry, nevermind

Here is the text of the email telling me about G & G's decision to publish. It's not Sojourners or another "name" publication, but it makes me happy that some of my thoughts will be read.

Dear Paul,
Thanks for the submission! You write with both clarity and crispness, to say nothing of the excellent, compassionate, and (to me) necessary message you offer regarding the religious right and the political manipulation thereof. We will certainly both publish this piece at G&G and encourage you to write more for us in the future.

Hopefully we will get this piece in the next issue or two, although it may in fact be a while, as I have just arrived here in Peru and will be on the road for a bit (Yes, and everyone down here asks me how we could possibly reelect Bush (assuming we did, in fact, reelect Bush)).

In the meantime, if you haven't already, you are welcome to pursue publication of this piece elsewhere.And please feel free to send along more of your writing in the future.

In peace,
tony
