I don't know if he is a racist. But I do know he is a bully and a scheister. And I wouldn't be surprised if if he actually made some racist remarks. If it looks like a pig, sounds like a pig, smells like a pig. It probably is a pig. Mr. Blase is my “FORMER” dentist. I don’t know if he is a racist. But I do know he is a bully and a scheister.

Supporting a violent revolution in no way dignifies the oppressed perpetrator of violence. The Cleveland CW and "Bill" beg the question of whether such tactics are indeed justifiable, or whether they render the perpetrators, white or no, empowered with retaliatory nukes or disempowered, to be better people or whether they reduce the agents to murderous animals. The struggle to conquer hate in one's own heart for one's enemy is everyone's. pg ps- Great pix Mike B, thanks.

You were asking me Thursday, "Who exactly is at this thing?" I thought about that question at mass, when <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/23/clowns-sabotage-minu.html" rel="nofollow">Fr. Carl Kabat</a> was the first person to receive communion from the bishop. That's a pretty good sampling of who was there: folks like Cha-Cha, me, Carl Kabat, and Bishop McManus. Throw in some crying babies and a dog, and I think that the people at that mass were an accurate reflection of the breadth of the worldwide Catholic Worker movement in 2008. Cha-Cha, thanks for the awesome comment.
