Wow, so much time, so little done. That’s all I’m going to say about that! What can I say? I mean, I started writing this big ol’ ball o’ nothin’ way back in 2001. Back then, only weirdos were blogin’ and back then it was “E/N” (Everything/Nothing). Perhaps in such a small circle, that’s how [...]

I found Colin Powell’s endorsment of Barack Obama to be well stated and impressive. I also know that my mother is a democrat however voted for the em-effing Bush; something that seems clearly a result of her value of church.  So I sent a link to the endorsment to her and I should have expected [...]

It has been a while, to say the least. A lot of things have changed and somehow growing up changes your passions; some grow, some fade. I’m closer to thirty than twenty and nudging my way into a full-fledged career that could take me to retirement. I have insurance for health, a retirement plan, and [...]

Some questions come to be asked because of relevance to your current situation. Sometimes questions get asked because assumptions are being challenged.

Briefly, this is a quick little paper I wrote for a simple little class based on an excerpt of an article by a woman named Deborah Tannen (look her books up, they are very interesting) about public discussions of controversial topics being turned into battles by the media rather than discussions of all points. Eh, [...]

There goes the neighborhood! I’m sorry, Planet Earth. Four more years of the Bush clan to shit on the planet and blow off the populous and their ideas of a decent world. All well…[sigh] Not that I had much faith in Kerry, but Bush?! Jesus F-ing Christ! What’s with all those dumbasses in the “Red” [...]

The following is a speech given by Ralph Nader at Creighton University in August 2004 copied here without permision from IndyBay.org, the SF bay area division of IndyMedia.org. It is a good speech, typical of Nader, IMO of course, if not depressingly real. If you haven’t read my last post about Bush, check it out [...]

I really wish I didn’t have to say these things. I really wish I wasn’t able to say that all you need to know is that George W. Bush is a bad man to have in office. Let me address the first wish. This election has proven one thing about a few people I respect: [...]

Deep down, we all believe in liberal ideas about the welfare of people and Earth and the “inalienable rights” of mankind everywhere, but somehow there is a very clear rift in political affiliations.
