I just found this new article by Cindy: Oh No, Canada! By Cindy Sheehan t r u t h o u t | Perspective Saturday 13 May 2006 Is it just JMOCDed moi or does the title sound rather Joniesque? ; ) Maybe it just refers to the anthem, though. Zut alors! When I met Cindy I was DYING to ask her if she liked Joni, but the timing was never appropriate. I know she likes Carly, because at dinner she mentioned her daughter (author of that heartbreaking poem). I asked her if she named her after Carly Simon, and she smiled and said yes. Ah, the conversation turns to female singers. Perfect! I was just about to ask her if she liked Joni when some other dinner guest had to open his trap and ask her about the war. I wanted to jump up and knock him off his seat and tell him we had more important things to talk about, but I restrained myself. (ONLY KIDDING!) Anyway, enjoy this, all you gracious Canadiens. Here is just one shining snippet to reel you in: ".......Canadians have to be the healthiest looking and most polite citizenry that I have encountered in my travels. The British people that I have met are very polite but have nowhere near the graciousness of Canadians. Canadians are truly civil, and they mean it. Canadians have been proud of their country's role of world peacekeeper and as the beacon of peace and hope and refuge for us Americans who feel that our country's aggressive militarism endangers us and harms our reputations and souls. Now Canadians need to wake up to the fact that their new minority, disliked government is leading them down this same slippery slope to the fascistic militarism of their immediate neighbors to the south...." It's all here: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/051306Y.shtml Oh, Canada!

African-Americans still face struggles every day. I see it all the time when someone is waiting at McDonald's during off-peak times. I walk in, and none is taking the order from an African-American. The counter staff is often talking about football in the kitchen. I ask, "Isn't anyone helping you?" They say, "No, they're busy back there." I say, "EXCUSE ME. Could we buy some food please?" Then I turn, and say, "You have to look out for yourself, sometimes." But we both know what it is: it's often "a black thing". No offense to you. I know you're not even in North America. It's just an conditioned response on my part. Jim Mark-Leon Thorne, in Sydney said, >Hi Jim. I did indeed forget Harlem. Not intentionally, I assure you. I'm a bit confused by your comment, "It's a black thing". I understand there is a district in New York called, Harlem that is mainly populated by African/Americans but your comment still confuses me. Is this a cultural reference?> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 23:14:11 -0700 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: A song about Santa Barbara I heard this on the syndicated "Acoustic Cafe"-it was a nice song, not especially happy, though: "Santa Barbara" - World Party ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #141 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
