“Happy May Day comerade. Say, if it’s May Day why are we at work?”

Speaking of the rise of the labor movement, last Sunday marked the 25th anniversary
of the fall of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City
"We came out of there seeing really a failure of strategic, political and
military leadership that got us in a situation we couldn't win," said retired
U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey.
from http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/04/27/vietnam.mentality/index.html
McCaffrey was a company commander in Vietnam who rose to the rank of four-star
general, before retiring to lead the war on drugs.
Hmmm, does it not seem like he's gone from one situation he couldn't win into
another hopeless strategic, political and military position?
What's that? You don't see the "War On Drugs" as a military position??
Then what the hell was Noriega? For that matter, what's the difference between
one set of uniformed goons kicking in someone's door in a foreign land to stop
the supply of drugs to the U.S. and another set of uniformed goons kicking in
someone's door in our own land to stop the use of the same drugs?
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Another weekend of moving and we're almost 100% in the new HQ! Once things get
settled around here I'd like to get back to work on the various Degenerate Press
efforts that have had to stall in the transition. For starters, we need more
bands on the Ear Plugs web ring! If you're in a band in the southeast check
out http://www.degeneratepress.com/earplugs/ringhtml.html
Yes, at some point this summer there will be a housewarming party at the new
HQ, we just don't know when yet.
Speaking of summer, due to a delay in the purchase of a potential location for
the Summertime Blast party we're not yet 100% sure that party is a go at this
time, but it is highly likely so stay tuned and keep Saturday, July 1, Canada
Day, free.
And looking further ahead, we're 100% sure we're going to Spain, just not 100%
sure when. September 1 - 10 is likely, if not longer. We're considering flying
into Barcelona and out of Madrid, or if we stay longer going over to Lisbon,
Portugal and flying out of there. If any of those destinations interest you
and you're interested in joining some interesting degenerates abroad contact
us. You can read our tale of Italy from last spring at http://www.degeneratepress.com/travel/italy99.htm
for a vague idea of what we're like on the road.
