R.I.P.

Not the cheeriest note but this week was a tough one for the smart, accomplished, male crowd over 86. Howard Zinn, 87, and JD Salinger, 91, passed away this week.

If you haven't read Catcher in the Rye or A People's History of the United States pick them up and consider it paying your respects.

"Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.."-Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."-Howard Zinn


and as long as we are remembering great words of peace spoken by men who were once warriors:
