THANK YOU to Bernard Marszalek, editor of the anarchist classic The Right to be Lazy by Paul Lafargue, for sending us this picture of a dog called Moe doing very little. Yes, I know he’s not technically asleep, but he’s pretty close to it.

Sir: I don’t have a dog or a cat – I am allergic to animal dander. I would like to have a pet lizard, but my spouse says “No”.
The dog “Moe” is a pet of one of the members of AK Press [the anarchist publisher and distributor] in Oakland. AK, you may have heard, suffered major fire damage when a warehouse/loft behind them burned down, with two casualties.
The City of Oakland won’t permit them to work in their space until major repairs are completed and their insurance company is acting like a pack of gangsters – no surprise there. MBAs today are not Masters of Business Administration but Mobsters, Bastards and Assholes.
AK is asking their fans send photos of their favorite book to tumblr in celebration of their 25th Anniversary.
