For those of us on the left, expecting the Democrats to ride to our rescue is a lot like repeatedly sticking your wet finger in an electric socket hoping that someday you will become a light bulb. Lots of pain. No enlightenment.

About the Blatt


The Daily Blatt is produced by an autonomous worker's collective.

handdrummer
is or has sometimes been; a bookseller, geographer, poet, SF fan, & an unrepentent anarcho-syndicalist.

He lives to twit wingnuts of all stripes and thrives on their sputtering rages. His hobby continues to be writing increasingly snarkier versions of his I Told You So speech now that the revolting crimes of The Former Dear Leader and His Puppetmaster Vice-Emperor Cheney have become manifest.

He is delighted that his friends think of him as the most bloodthirsty pacifist they have ever met. He doen't give a damn what his enemies think of him.

Kolchak,

the Blatt’s Roving Reporter & Popular Culture Correspondent, has written for so many small newspapers that he ends his sentences with “police said” when his concentration slips. He has also written comic book scripts in genres ranging from giant robots to porn (but no porn with giant robots, unfortunately). Stick around, and see how far Kolchak can stretch the term “pop culture,” police said.
