    Stamp Out the Rate Hike: Stop the Post Office

    Thanks to Matt from Diamonds for forwarding this item.

    Dear friend, relative, or acquaintance of Bob McChesney,

    The news media are covering the tragic murders in Virginia this
    morning, and as they do an extraordinarily significant story is
    slipping through the cracks.

    On very rare occasions I send a message to everyone in my email
    address book on an issue that I find of staggering importance and
    urgency. (My address book includes pretty much everyone who emails me
    in one form or another, and I apologize if you get this message more
    than once.) This is one of those times.

    This is Chris, our UPS delivery man, and we think he’s grand! He operates on a very exact airport-like schedule, typically delivering our day’s shipments between a 1:49pm and 1:59 window.

    Wow, new stuff updates are gonna be on Saturdays now. We have done a little schedule rotation so I am not in on Fridays to post up the list, but alas while you will have to wait an extra day. It means for the first time in a long time I can go get drunk and see lame art with the rest of the normal Chicago lunatics! Crazy!

  • Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? This is your mother! Pick up the phone!

    Liz Kissing Santa

    So I feel like I should be all “Is this thing on?”-“Are you home? Pick up the phone”-“How does this thing work, hello, hello? This is your mom! What button do I press, wait, how do I — hello? hello?” about blog technology, but actually, it seems pretty straightforward. What late breaking news do I have for you today? The long awaited release of Dirty FOUND #3? A new thing from Robin of Cinema Sewer called Sleazy Slice? No, I wanted everyone to know that the Button-O-Matic gumball machine of retired buttons has made its way to Quimby’s. These are where the buttons previously unsold from machines in other places go to die. We are the only place in the city where you can find them! And they’re only a quarter!
