I had some bags of mugwort, St. John’s wort and yarrow for making a gruit ale but I haven’t gotten around to it so I threw a little of each into a tea. And now I am drinking it.

American Exceptionalism, Kate. American Exceptionalism.
There is nothing I hate more about the USAmerican ethos than American exceptionalism.
Except perhaps corporate personhood and neoliberalism. It’s a toughie.

I know that many people in the US are scared out of their wits that the US is “going the way of Sweden” and turning into a socialist society. I almost laugh out loud every time I hear that. For starters…the US is so FAAAAARRRR from being a socialist nation it’s not even possible. Secondly, going the way of Sweden...

Thousands of Egyptians form human-chain around Egypt Museum of Antiquities to protect it from looting

Mubarak has been an ally of ours in a number of things. And he’s been very responsible on, relative to geopolitical interest in the region, the Middle East peace efforts; the actions Egypt has taken relative to normalizing relationship with – with Israel. … I would not refer to him as a dictator.”
