Yesterday was the first day of summer.
If you're anything like me, you're tired, preoccupied, relaxed, maybe a little twitterpated, and don't give a fuck about the 'shit that threatens to envelop us' (that's Flaubert) on a day-to-day basis.
Luckily for us, there is an online petition campaign that has an effective track record. Big Tanky sent me this link in today's email. Read, click, stay in the game.

Hi,
Long after President Bush declared an end to "major hostilities," Americans continue to pay a terrible price for the Iraq war. Now, a British government memo ("the Downing Street Memo") suggests a sickening truth: that the Bush administration was determined to go to war all along -- even if it had to fix the facts to convince the American people.
We've got to act. We must make sure Congress gets the memo because Americans deserve to know the truth. Join me and demand that Congress hold hearings about the Downing Street Memo to determine whether the Bush administration misled us into war:
Petition
Thank you.

Now, kick the cat off your beach towel, get another lemonade and take the rest of the day off.
