I have agreed to join the blog team at Asian Pacific Americans for Progress (and thank you for getting my bio up so fast!). They deal with important issues, and I am proud and grateful to be involved. I will blog on a number of issues, but my attention will focus initially on the November elections, in particular the candidacy of Blong Xiong, who is in a run-off for the District 2 seat on the Fresno City Council.

If you have nine dollars you aren't sure what to do with, Marvin Bell has a great poem called "Geezers: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld" in the current (Summer 2006) issue of Prairie Schooner. His poem alone is worth the money.

I haven't read PS in a few years. I think I'll buy that issue and see what is going on. Thanks and congrats on the new blog!
mThere are some other good poems in there also, but I really like Bell's. It addresses his own aging while taking shots (poetic ones, of course) at the Prez, VP, and Rumsfeld. I admire folks who can do that in artistic ways, which I think is tough. On that note, I want to hear Neil Young's new record, which I hear is entirely against the current admin.
