Another great Pillageshop
Attila, my Maryland Bloggers Alliance colleague over at the Pillage Idiot, reports (Idiota del pillaje?) that his wonderful “Pillageshop” of Kim Jong Il has been picked by a blog, “Eurabian News - Noticias sobre la transformación de Europa en Eurabia,” in Europe that has had the audacity to publish the blog in Spanish. The horror, oh the horror.
In case you have not seen this Pillageshop, please go here. It is one of the best that I have seen on the subject of Kim Jong II.

20061003 Attila of the monitor
“Attila of the monitor”

Above please find an exclusive photo of the Attila, at the Pillage Idiot, in the midst of hand-to-hand combat with his computer equipment.
The Pillage Idiot reports that he has been having technical difficulties with his computer equipment.
Of course, I have never had any such problems. NOOOOO! I’m sure that you noticed how many posts that I made last week – and before it was all over – I moved my site…
Attila remains in our hearts and prayers, there’s hardly anything worse that having a dysfunctionate conversation with one’s technology – well, except if it’s “Chisel guy.”

20061002 Drinking the Kool-Aid
Drinking the Kool-Aid
Posted by
I so enjoyed the latest post by Attila at the Pillage Idiot.
Attila writes: “With my friends, unlike so many liberals I've encountered, we can tactfully avoid contentious political issues to maintain our friendship, and with my friends, you simply couldn't hope to find nicer, more decent people.”
However as his post continues; he has had experiences in which folks just won’t let go of their all-consuming need to tell everyone about their outrage with current politics…
In my experience it is folks who erupt about Republicans or President George W. Bush – or the Carroll County Republican party.
Oh, give it up already.
I take an enormous amount of pride in saying that I have not a clue as to what party many of my friends are registered and often do not give a rats-behind as to what is their political views.
Having many writer and artist friends, my life is full of many folks who hold different political views than me. They are great folks, with integrity and work hard to contribute and make a difference in the community.
For the most part, when I get together with friends, I’m much more concerned with the welfare of their family, their latest vacations, what books and movies or art shows they are interested-in these days or how their children are doing in school.
Talking about food, landscaping, vacations and pets is much more human and ultimately more rewarding.
Although I can enjoy talking politics, I hardly ever talk politics with my elected or appointed official friends and like it that way.
I’m especially am not fond of artists who “get political” in my face. Politicizing the arts is as bad as politicizing a friendship. (Oh yes, I believe that Hollywood-types or performers maintain their first amendment rights; however, I reserve the right to not patronize their movies – or art shows. Shut and sing.)
On a personal level, at best, I can find it amusing that for some folks, everything in their lives is based on their hatred of President George W. Bush and Republicans. But usually I avoid the humor by avoiding their company.
Folks for whom everything is political are clueless one-dimensional bores.
Please go to Attila’s post – and be sure to follow the links and also read the comments… It is way too funny.
