Welcome ...

Eschaton visitors. Make yourself at home. And if you like, sign up (over there to the right) for our free email newsletter offering a progressive take on news, trends and issues in the South.

For those who emailed me for more background on CAFTA, you might start here and here.

White House arm-twisting (and money-for-pet-projects-in-your-district-dangling) for votes on CAFTA is now in full force. Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC) -- from the upstate district around Spartanburg, in the heart of the textile belt ravaged by NAFTA -- is the latest to succumb.

In a not-to-be-repeated show of bipartisanship, I have several links about CAFTA here.

You can send a free FAX here.
