The Brink of greatness, disaster, SURVIVAL...

An editorial expresses a singular point of view. It's a place to focus, to hone in on your target and annihilate it. We know the difference between an article or an essay and a down and dirty editorial and we are sure that you do, too. If you aren't sure, then you don't belong here. So knock yourself out, on the brink. As Amarillo Slim likes to say, "read 'em and weep." So go ahead and throw up on our shoes, we bought them at Payless.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT

I’ve been meaning for some time to respond to Dan Vinik’s article on Brink at

http://www.brink.com/editorial/2180.com

on the anniversary of Curt Cobain’s suicide, but I’ve been too busy being disappointed in the primary mud slinging contest, and learning, (not AGAIN!) you can pour buckets of facts over people’s (especially the editor of the Weekly’s) heads and it doesn’t change one damn dumb thing. The nasty reality that Clintons will never leave us----tho Bob Herbert has started to look at the tip of the iceberg:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/10/opinion/10herbert.html?th&emc=th

-----the sad fact that our national conversation on race is so incoherent, and our political/environmental debate has gone from ill informed to just plain silly, stupid and (that word again) suicidal is what finally did me in. I share Dan’s sense of the relevance of Cobain’s suicide to current... more

A SENATOR SQUEALS
I've been resisting this but I now think that she's been running for 2012 since February and the old guard have been aiding and abetting... kinda like the PRI down Mexico way.

BIOTECH, LEAN TIMES AND THE NEW YORK TIMES
Urban gardening works well for some... sadly, it won't feed the displaced outside of Kinshasa, or the other 25 cities in the global south expected to have >8million "residents" by 2015.....
