Marching with Winter Soldiers
Tuesday, March 11, 2008 — We just got this message from Tom Jackson, at Joe Public Films: “Last weekend I had the honor and privilege to march with (and film) the Philadelphia chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War from Constitution Hall in downtown Philadelphia, to Valley Forge. The group wanted to draw attention to the upcoming Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan events coming up this weekend in and around DC. The events run from March 13-16, and include veterans from the Iraq conflict, as well as active duty soldiers.” “This is the first of a series of short videos for IVAW. This one focuses …
Who Wants Last Fortnight’s Paper?

Temporarily Incommunicado
Update, Tuesday, February 26, 2008 — Alright, then — our e-mail glitch is sorted out. Granted, this may seem to be pretty petty stuff to be posting about. On the other hand, bear in mind who it is we’re dealing with here. Monday, February 25, 2008 — We seem to have incurred the wrath of the Gods of the Intertubes. We can currently receive e-mails, but we cannot send them. As a result, we have before us the opportunity to relieve ourselves of up to 20 pounds of unspeakable detritus from an internal organ, and to increase the dimensions of another organ to such an …
In Lieu of Pay
Saturday, February 23, 2008 — Our latest issue, Volume 252, No. 11, dated February 22, hit the streets yesterday, thanks to our volunteer distribution crew. In their honor (and in lieu of pay) the Lithography Department has immortalized them with this image depicting them luxuriating in our lavishly appointed break room.
