Playing Not To Lose

The world can be a great sunshiney ball of happiness. But clearly, there are things wrong with it that need to be fixed NOW through community and working together and impeaching President Bush and mollifying those downtrodden Middle Eastern folk who’ve been oppressed by cartoons and oil barons all their lives (Halliburton, I’m looking at [...]

Fringecast 2

The new Fringecast (click to listen directly) is now available for your listening pleasure. It’s another amazing bit of internet chatter as Joe Blum and I discuss everything from nude Olympics to losing weight by channelling your inner child. John Irwin talks about the 1968 movie Barbarella, and we also discuss the Mars initiative unveiled [...]

The Way Things Should Be

Some days were never meant to wake up. They should just throw the covers back over their heads and sleep until 10. Today was one of those days, which is why I slept until almost 9. I’ve developed a new and superhuman habit of waking up at a fairly regular time of about 8AM, give [...]

An Exit Strategy Timetable

Senator Russ Feingold has introduced a resolution calling for Bush to set a timetable and a list of goals and actions to begin exiting Iraq for good. From the website:
“I have introduced a resolution that calls on President Bush to define the mission of our military in Iraq, set a plan to accomplish that mission [...]

John Kerry, Reluctant Warrior

Via Opinion Journal, Debra Saunders finds Kerry’s explanation of Bush’s address to the UN on the eve of war in October of 2002 suspect. And no wonder, Kerry claimed Bush lied by telling the truth.
IT’S AN ODD campaign gimmick, but Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., often tells voters that he was “misled” and [...]

Economy Up! Democrats Spin!

This was too good not to post.
The US economy has eight straight quarters of growth. That’s two years of economic improvement, versus only one quarter that the Democrats are using as a flimsy platform from which to attack Bush. But that’s not the best news. Unemployment, yes, is at 6.1%. But [...]

Water, Water Everywhere

Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush – living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge – told his top officials to “stop the leaks” to the media, or else.
News of Bush’s order leaked almost immediately.

All’s [...]

Iraqi Scientists Targeted

I’m not saying this is proof of WMD existence in Iraq, by any means, but you gotta admit that it’s a little weird that top Iraqi scientists are being targeted if they collaborate with the US in the search for WMD. If they don’t exist, why would scientists fear for their lives for telling [...]

To The Champions of 9.11

The changing face of the world still has left little recognizeable memories of pre-9.11 days. Americans are growing again sleepy and self-congratulatory as another year passes without a terrorist incident in our land. Bipartisanship is back, due in part to a large and growing contingent of dissatisfied politicians and media entities bent on [...]

Baghdad Bush

A Baghdad mother and father, to show their thanks to President Bush for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, have named their son after the American leader.

But I thought Bush = Hitler. Those commies at IndyMedia deceived me!
