Peckerwood Pericles

Werther's take on the ninth circle of Zell in Counterpunch.

Meanwhile, let me be one more person breathing a sigh of relief in regards to Ivan the terrible hurricane. That said, prayers/mantras go out to the folks along the Gulf Coast who've hopefully either found high ground or at the very least are in solid structures.

I'll be watching the reports throughout the evening--even if I take a little time away from the house. State employees were given the day off tomorrow--which is probably a good thing. Even as the hurricane hits to the east, it'll be a good sized rain with lots o' wind here in Red Stick. If nothing else, fewer folks driving to and from work will leave the streets open for any late evacuees.

See y'all tomorrow.
