Today Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant declared that Democrats in his state have no other mission in life but to kill babies. Never mind what you may personally think about abortion, this sort of rhetoric is useless. It serves only to kill the soul of those poor dumb sons of bitches stupid enough to listen to [...]

I just read a nice little article in Wired about the new National Security Agency “data center” being built in Utah and I wish I could say it affected in me some way, but I can not. It has been a long quiet road for the United States to reach this point but who among us [...]

on comedy central’s daily show last night they featured a book, it’s title is The American Way of War: Guided Missiles, Misguided Men, and a Republic in Peril, by Eugene Jarecki. It reminded me of this quote from Dwight D Eisenhower: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the [...]

He gave an impassioned speech at one of the largest political spectacles of the year, The Democratic National Convention. Democrats, Republicans, conservatives and liberals loved, myself included.

I have been a drone lately, content to just show up at work Monday through Friday and rest on Saturday and Sunday. I read the news everyday, still frustrated that the world seems in so much chaos.

so, i have been watching with disgust the latest debacle to scare the global money markets. the complete meltdown of the so called “sub-prime” mortgage market is the inevitable result of the over-extension of credit that happens when the market does really well for a long time. what happens is this: the market is booming.

yesterday while driving home and listening to the local NPR station talk about the car bombings which killed more than 200 Iraqis, it dawned on me. the Bush regime has wasted possibly the most historically advantageous opportunity of our modern era. why? 1. the story starts with 9/11 , sort of. after 9/11 i know [...]

well, barry bonds has done it. he has destroyed any semblance of respect he may have ever had and taken major league baseball down with him. Congratulations Barry, you are the latest jerk on the planet to prove that “how you play the game” is not what really matters. How else does one explain that [...]

as an attempted Buddhist i am always defending to the uninitiated about the faith that is central to the practice. most people fail to see the faith of the philosophy because it is not embodied by a personification of ultimate purpose. and so i must explain that its faith is found in rationality and understanding, [...]

Within the first dozen or so pages of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel, the narrator states, “This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.” I have repeated this phrase to many of my friends, acquaintances, people that just happened to show up at my house for whatever reason. I thought it was clever, because I was always [...]

in a not so surprising move today, President george jr. ensured that scooter libby would never spend a single day in jail for his crimes. i and many others saw this coming of course (see my post here). but, damn, i thought Bushy would wait until he was almost out of office to pull this [...]

while perusing some articles over at the seminal, i saw an interesting one on about being a “new liberal”. the story is interesting and does a good job of attempting to reclaim the term from the dirty connotations that have become attached to it. one part intrigued me most though and i wanted to write [...]
