The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

In Austin this weekend

Maker Faire

update: the fair itself was very cool. the hippie-freakshow vibe from some of the attendees, not so much. the slavish adherence to non-conformity, complete intolerance of the 'intolerant', etc., and more body piercings and weedwacker haircuts than i ever want to see again.

That's a pretty succinct description there. I like the weedwacker haircut image.

Best wishes.

well there is a 'pocket of resistance' on the north side, around dell computer hq and the high-tech corridor - an island in a sea of obama-stickered priuses.
