I voted for Dennis Kucinich today. Here’s why: He represents my values and the way I feel on issues from war (no) to gay rights (yes) to U.S. involvement in NAFTA and WTO (no = more American jobs) to health care (universal) to education (for everyone). It’s important to send a message to the Democratic […]

Bin Laden Prediction
Saturday, February 28th, 2004 · 1 Comment
I’ve been meaning to post my prediction here for the past few months, so given the headlines this morning, now seems as good a time as any. I just wish I had beat these headlines, and, in fact, was just talking about this with Jen last night when the same topic came up on Real […]

Gay Marriage
Wednesday, February 25th, 2004 · 6 Comments
This is what the LORD has commanded…saying, “Let them marry whom they wish.” Numbers 36:6-6 Though I voted Green in December’s mayoral election in San Francisco, I’m proud to see Mayor Gavin Newsom taking the national spotlight as the proponent of gay marriage this week as the battle heats up. Adding to the fire, Bush […]

“Nay” on Nader
Saturday, February 21st, 2004 · 7 Comments
Ralph is scheduled to appear on Meet the Press tomorrow morning to announce whether he will enter the presidential race as an Independent. Although I am holding on to a shred of hope that he won’t run, I fear the worst. Can you just hear the resounding white house high-fives once the announcement is made? […]

Bush Military Records
Saturday, February 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on Bush Military Records
In recent weeks, Bush has finally begun to take the heat for some questionable service records during his time in the Texas National Guard in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Strangely, no one can remember where he was from May 1972 to May 1973 when he was supposed to be in Alabama. Funny that […]

This week’s Newsweek cover story What Went Wrong depicts Bush and his Cabinet, along with the quote from former U.S. weapons inspector David Kay: “We were all wrong.” To some of us, this is no surprise. Of course there were never any weapons of mass destruction. Bush and his Cabinet misled the American people. The […]

Super Bowl Ad Politics
Friday, January 23rd, 2004 · 2 Comments
Is it any surprise that CBS will gladly take money from the Bush White House’s anti-drug office, but not from PETA or MoveOn.org? The organization is trying to run an ad that won a contest to get the truth out to the American people about the damage Bush has done to this country. Running this […]

Wired: Marriage Poll
Thursday, January 22nd, 2004 · 7 Comments
On December 18, 2003 I linked to and commented on the now infamous gay marriage poll conducted by the anti-gay American Family Association. I became part of the Internet movement that ultimately showed the AFA what the American people really think — and that if they want to conduct a poll like this, they’d better […]
