happy birthday, leslie parrish!

i only know of leslie parrish thanks to her ex husband/lover, the famous writer richard bach, who wrote a lovely love story based on his search for a soulmate and the relationship that subsequently developed between him and leslie in the 1970s. that book is titled THE BRIDGE ACROSS FOREVER. i've read it 2 or 3 times now. sadly, their love story didn't endure...

anyway, after the last time i read it this past year i became curious to learn more about leslie parrish, which i did thanks to wikipedia. it turns out that besides being a fairly successful and famous film and tv actress in the 1960s, she was a very active and prominent antiwar and environmental activist, credited with coining the famous phrase 'what if they gave a war and nobody showed up' and with, along with richard bach and a few other dedicated environmentalists creating a model document to prevent clearcut logging operations in the pacific northwest. today is her 85th birthday. so happy birthday, leslie, and thanks for being a heroine!

american election hijinks

below's a link to a good discussion on american election hijinks, focused on 'super tuesday' and how the establishment tilts the playing field to favor establishment friendly candidates like patriot joe biden. too bad more sheeple aren't savvy to the surreality that american 'democracy' is a joke. a bad, unfunny one. i don't know what good it would do, but if by some miracle enough become savvy, maybe something good comes out of it.

greg palast has written some excellent exposes of other recent past american election hijinks including republican party voter suppression. the devil's always in the details!
