oh man. i *really* should subscribe to the ava. its what i say to myself every time i read a copy. if nothing else, its entertainment value is through the roof - and its got more than just that! damn fine paper. the bari stuff is pretty damn serious, but at the same time manages to be hysterical.

smart move by sweeney to go to the usps rather than hit em with the libel, though. that does throw a wrench in the works of andersons plan...

of course, half of anderson valley hates the ava, and thinks hes a nutcase :) mention it in a cafe there and get an earful, or maybe start a huge argument between other patrons!
