Someone I worked with this year wrote today asking for Billmon's email. I don't know that I have it, I've one comment by Billmon, with an associated email address, so that is what I sent back.

Billmon's post The War Party, is what got him. "He's been writing some good stuff on Dems and widening war. Someone should thank him. :-)"

Steve Gillard's already pointed out that despair is a luxury only some can afford (the quote is from Patrick Nielsen Hayden), and I've pointed to Pete McCloskey's (R-Sane) call for a Democratc Majority as a counter-example.

Juan Cole is targeted by AIPAC, and for whatever it is worth (very, very little) we have the chief PMOI flake in the US (and Billmon) refuting us, and these two collaborative groups of zombies own a lot of pairs of shoes that walk the halls of Congress.

But not all. Not enough to make Peace and Freedom the only possible choice, or to make Party Greens in Maine preferable to the profound work of getting sustainable, post-carbon policy into municipal, non-partisan political discourse, and getting sustainable, post-carbon policy into state, and federal, partisan political discourse.

I hope my correspondent will defatuate on Billmon's tactical nuclear weapons apocalyptics, and return from whatever plane of existance that literary genre passes for electoral political work, to Maine.
