On Friday October 10th, Polar Bears Against Palin – organized by Voices For Animals of Western PA – called on a White Bloc to support them in solidarity with the Alaskan environment and wildlife that Sarah Palin has wreaked damage on in her two years of governorship, joining over 300 other protesters in a near-spontaneous event in downtown Pittsburgh.

Face #3 New Orleans Mental Health Crisis. Meet Raymond Hall
Posted in Hurricane Katrina, video on December 3, 2007| Leave a Comment »
Duncan Plaza
New Orleans, La.
July 2007
Dear Family and Friends,
Raymond tried to eat the slice of pepperoni pizza. He really did. Problem was, his teeth are falling out. But before they leave, he says, the teeth break off in pieces.
Hall was one of the first homeless New Orleanians I saw who came to protest the inadequate public housing in Post-Katrina New Orleans. Over 100 people night after night sleep in the shadow of City Hall at Duncan Plaza. They sleep in the gently elevated grass and under a statue of George Washington. And next to a boarded and vacant state office build the same year as City Hall.
As I walked by them the other evening, the air had cooled, many people were up telling stories, smoking cigarettes. The main branch of the New Orleans public library is next to Duncan Plaza. About 30 people sleep under a library canopy too. An electrical outlet is used by a woman’s boombox. It’s not quite a nightlight, but she seemed peaceful.

Paul Krassner: Remembering Norman Mailer: here.
When Norman Mailer wrote his first novel, *The Naked and the Dead,* he used a euphemism–“fug”–for fuck. The first time I encountered Mailer, I asked him if it was true that when he met actress Tallulah Bankhead, she said, “So you’re the young man who doesn’t know how to spell fuck.” With a twinkle in his eye, Mailer told me that he replied, “Yes, and you’re the young woman who doesn’t know how to.”
