I guess the shine is off then, huh? I didn’t vote for him. I voted for Ralph Nader because I couldn’t stomach voting for either Gore or Bush. I’m constantly amazed at the fumblings of this administration. It just gets worse and worse, and I don’t see it getting better. From Bush’s constant manglings of […]

And don’t think I’m picking
And don’t think I’m picking on a single party… My cynicism is not partisan. I’m an equally disenchanted with all of them. Remember, I voted for Nader out of desperation, and even he turned into a raving a-hole after the election, so I was wrong again. I would have voted for Harry Browne, the good […]
I try not to be
I try not to be completely cynical, but it’s getting harder and harder. With everything that’s going on in the world, how can anyone be optimistic or even believe in the altruism of others? For example, President Bush is proposing that Worldcom be investigated and those responsible do time. Where was this fury for Enron? […]
Jen and I watched Married
Jen and I watched Married in America on A&E yesterday. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a documentary by Michael Apted of 9 couples about to get married. It followed them through the final days of preparation, up to the wedding, and in a couple cases, a few days after the wedding. Now, that […]
I don’t see what all
I don’t see what all the fuss is about. If it’s a news program and it’s impartial and objective then what’s the problem? If our kids understand that not everyone believes the same thing, and that not everyone in the world has the same family life, how is that bad? If Nick gives the information, […]
Wilson said she was concerned
Wilson said she was concerned the combination of revealing clothing and suggestive dancing could lead to sexual assaults. So, instead of fearing sexual assaults commited by others, she went and committed one herself. That’s pre-emptive administrating, folks!
My post about the whole
My post about the whole CIA thing yesterday was a little disjointed, mostly because I was upset about work, and just couldn’t handle any more bad news. I need to go back and read 1984, but doesn’t this all strike you as being vaguely familiar? Jen and I went and saw Sum of All Fears […]
Isn’t this a declaration of
Isn’t this a declaration of war? If it’s true, and we really don’t have any reason to believe otherwise, haven’t we just said that heads of state are fair game, and the Iraqi government should understand we’ve just declared war on them by George W signing the order to assassinate him (which we all know […]
The Incompetance Mirror I’ve been
The Incompetance Mirror I’ve been attentively watching the media tempest around the things the FBI and CIA missed before September 11th. It seems that we had all the clues and just didn’t put them together. There seems to be a lot of gnashing of teeth over this. The rhetoric is hip-deep and rising, and it […]
