The greater part of a year has passed since I last added anything to the Detritus Press--partially because I was otherwise occupied with the drama that passes for my life and then because I was disappointed that I did not have disc space on a server somewhere to post pictures that I could publish here.

Dear MoveOn Member,
Yesterday, former Vice President Al Gore spoke to a packed audience of almost 3,000 MoveOn supporters about the Bush administration's attacks on our basic freedoms. Not mincing words, Mr. Gore said,

I don't mean the stepping on a dead animal part--with two outdoor cats that happens all the time--I mean the inablity to identify the animal. I spent most of my childhood in the woods of West Virginia and have seen a lot of wild animals.

I ran across a reference to this magazine at work while catalogging the editor's new book. I haven't seen any updates to the web page since I first linked to it a month ago and because I live in the middle of nowhere I've not yet been able to get a copy of the zine. A cousin in Texas is getting a copy to send to me and if I like I will subscribe.
