All Wrong

For all the wrong things in the world: The scripted press conference: story one, story two The Primate House And Their Freedom Fries Prisoner’s Death at Afghanistan Base Ruled A Homicide There is at least some good news: Elizabeth Smart Found – Alive Delma Banks Granted Stay

Dissent

Dissent Protects Democracy Now there’s a protest sign I can get behind. The bomb with “Your Name Here” on it looks great, but doesn’t say what I want to say. The only things I can think of to sum up my feelings that would fit on a protest sign are (and feel free to use […]

Freedom Maids

House cafeterias change names for ‘french fries’ and ‘french toast’ And to think, we pay these guys’ salaries. Oh yeah, we voted them into office too. Does this mean they’re going to make the interns wear “Freedom” Maid outfits tonight? And you know what, let’s turn Germany into “Justice” and go get us a slice […]

Surprising Polling

CNN.com – Support for Bush’s re-election falls below 50 percent Interesting numbers from this poll. The questions seem fair and not leading. I definitely won’t vote for Bush in 2004, no matter who’s running against him. We have a President of Lowered Expectations in office, and he’s fulfilling all of them. He’s killing any diplomatic […]

Ummm, So If They’re There, Why Aren’t We Here?

According to this article from CNN, Al Qaeda says they’re “in partnership with Iraq”, at least according to the State Department, in a new statement from the elusive Osama. Didn’t Osama say the same thing about the Palestinians? So, if Al Qaeda is in “partnership” with Iraq AND the PLO, why aren’t we threatening the […]

The Conspiracy Theorists

It feels really good to be back at work. I’m doin’ stuff, writing code, etc. Three more days before I can show you all the big giant thing I’ve been working on for the past several months. I told you before that I’ve been watching this show on Trio called The Secret Rulers of the […]

State Of The Cheekbones

Yeah, I know everyone’s going to talk about it. I think that’s a fine thing. Let’s all talk about it. Get it all out there in the open so they know what we think. We’re not some poll or a line in a graph. We’re real people talking about the stuff that matters to us. […]

Here I Go Again

Here I go again. I used to be a Republican. I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh. I read his first two books. I thought Bill Clinton was a bad dude (and I still he is in some ways). This was all in high school and for a couple years afterwards, maybe until 1995 or […]

Nucular Strategery

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee – I know it’s in Texas – probably in Tennessee – that says, fool me once, shame on – shame on you. Fool me – you can’t get fooled again.” Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002 Wow. How did this guy get elected? Every day I watch a news conference […]

Bang, Bang – Oh, We WEREN’T Supposed to Sell You That Gun?

What do you do when you can’t trust your government? Not that this is a new problem. Maybe I’m just paying more attention, or listening to All Things Considered more. This report angers me to no end. To sum up, the Administration and Congress have decided that some civil liberties are OK to destroy and […]
