"The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label. I certainly proved it in the case of EPIC. Running on the Socialist ticket I got 60,000 votes, and running on the slogan to 'End Poverty in California' I got 879,000. I think we simply have to recognize the fact that our enemies have succeeded in spreading the Big Lie. There is no use attacking it by a front attack, it is much better to out-flank them." --Upton Sinclair 1951

Another morning with my favorite patient Rachael Bryant Welch. She's a bit miffed that I'm making her eat (drink) a breakfast.
