It must be nice<\/em> to be able to take a vacation<\/a> — or to tell your readers that “postings will resume when I feel better.<\/a>” So la-dee-dah! Unfortunately, here at Antiwar.com, the word “vacation” is missing from our lexicon. Not only that, but there ain’t no sick leave –\u00c2\u00a0because here I<\/em> am, with the worst case of bronchitis, ever, pounding away at my keyboard. And it’s fundraising week — or, rather, weeks<\/strong><\/em> — which means I’m doing double-time. Ah, but I’m not really all that interested in a vacation — never having had one, I don’t miss it! And I’m not really complaining: just reminding you that we are in the middle of our Winter 2008 Fundraising Drive (if I capitalize it, that makes it seem much more official, don’t you think?) and the Antiwar.com is busy as ever, working at breakneck speed to get you the best coverage of our f*cked-up world on the Internets.<\/p>\n
