Here's a picture that should be on the paper money, instead of the presidents.

The ichneumon wasp lays its eggs inside the body of another animal. Then the eggs hatch. Then the larvae eat the host animal from the inside out.

Be sure to download the love and peace coloring pages from the Mother Goose web site, print them out, color them with crayons, and use magnets to make them stick to the refrigerator!

By the way, the assertion by the web site that the poem "There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead" comes from Mother Goose, made here:

http://www.mothergoose.com/Rhymes/lrhymes.htm

is incorrect. The truth is that the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote this poem, as clearly indicated here:

http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1345.html

This error goes uncorrected. Why? An Engels explained in Anti-Duhring, chapter 3: "Anarchy reigns in socialised production."

And just that error begs for a revolution to take place.

I wonder if this is useful for anything. Supposedly you can publish written documents for free.

My homey from the hood Pete Seeger just released a new CD, a few weeks ago. It's called "Pete Seeger at 89." I wonder if I'll be able to sing and syncopate the banjo when I'm 89. Last night he was the musical guest on David Letterman and the CD got a little promotion. Really he was on September 29 and i was rerun last night. But the song he sang was his 2002 song "Take it from Dr. King", which isn't on the new album. On the Letterman appearance, Pete was accompanied by his grandson, Tao Rodriquez-Seeger (Mika's son), Guy Davis, a great blues banjoist but he only sang along, Ruth Ungar Merenda on the violin, and Jacob Silver plucking the bass fiddle. There's a recording of the Letterman appearance at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4yKFsanqSo .

That major holiday, Halloween, is coming around again.

Time to hang up the cardboard cut-outs of vampires and witches, and have the neighbors over for some eat and drink!

Happy Marxist Halloween to the prole-SCARE-iat and the BOO-rgeoisie!

I was going to dress up as Ludwig von Mises, but the costume had too much labour invested in it, and was thus too expensive.

Mike, are the fora on this site cataloged by Google? If not I think that we're pretty much wasting our time.

What would have to ahpen to get our words into the google machine?

if we had a seperate site that was a plain jane web page containing the text of the posts for a certain period of time such as a site that contained the text of all of the deleonism.org/forum posts during July 2008 for example, would Google be more apt to catalog a web page like that?

Should we set up a myspace page and copy our posts to that sight?

Every forum page here is indexed by google. You could confirm that by typing this phrase into a google search box:

"view topic" site:deleonism.org

Google doesn't help with publicity as much as it used to. Today, no matter what common phrase someone searches for, there are hundreds of millions of sites that contain that phrase. The chance of a google user being led to any particular site is like being led to a particular grain of sand in the desert.

What do you get if you cross Joe the Plumber and Joe Six-Pack? Answer: Liquid Plumber. Haw haw haw. That joke was on the New York Times web site.
