Bill Mahar on capitalism

How about this for a New Rule: Not everything in America has to make a
profit. It used to be that there were some services and institutions so
vital to our nation that they were exempt from market pressures. Some
things we just didn't do for money. The United States always defined
capitalism, but it didn't used to define us. But now it's becoming all that
we are.

Ain’t That a Shame

from http://justinelarbalestier.com/blog/2009/07/23/aint-that-a-shame/

In the last few weeks as people have started reading the US ARC of Liar they have also started asking why there is such a mismatch between how Micah describes herself and the cover image. Micah is black with nappy hair which she wears natural and short. As you can see that description does not match the US cover.

Many people have been asking me how I feel about the US cover, why I allowed such a cover to appear on a book of mine, and why I haven’t been speaking out about it.

Paula Poundstone

Just gave my dog a flea shower, which is where, when you know she's going to have fleas, friends bring little blankets and outfits for them.
