Shove a Cigarette Down Bush’s Throat

Wednesday, April 30th, 2003 · 6 Comments

Yet again the Bush administration tries to prevent something good — heaven forbid — from happening in the world. Why? What the hell is his problem? Does he like that 5 million people die every year from tobacco-related diseases? Does he like that that number will double in 3 years? Has he ever seen someone […]

Idiot Pundit of the Day

Tuesday, April 1st, 2003 · 1 Comment

Today’s Idiot Pundit of the Day is Wilson C. Lucom, who has written a poorly-argued right-wing piece of propaganda called Anti-war Protesters Border on Treason. What? How does he figure? The thing that enrages me about most of the conservative garbage I read (which is, sadly, the trash that the masses tend to digest as […]

Someone named Robert Grimes has replied to my recent post about Herman Goering’s quote. I’m not sure what his point is, but here’s my rebuttal. What do you think? While we’re on the topic of scary rhetoric that’s force-fed to the American public by the Bush administration, take a look at the Project for the […]

The Fight Against Big Tobacco

Tuesday, March 25th, 2003 · 2 Comments

Using this handy form on thetruth.com, I sent the following message to 26 executives of Big Tobacco companies in an attempt to get them to put people ahead of their bottom lines: My aunt died yesterday from lung cancer caused by smoking.

20, 20, 24 Hours to Go

Tuesday, March 18th, 2003 · Comments Off on 20, 20, 24 Hours to Go

Buried in Bush’s speech last night, during which he gave Saddam Hussein and his sons Dumb and Dumber a 48-hour ultimatum to leave Iraq, was this line: “Do not destroy oil wells, a source of wealth that belongs to the Iraqi people.” What Bush was really saying: “Do not destroy oil wells, a source of […]

Democrazy

America: Home of the free(dom fries), land of the brave, and international stripper of human rights. Detainees not entitled to a hearing / Guantanamo prisoners have no Constitutional rights, court rules “In times of war, the president must be able to protect our nation from enemies who seek to harm innocent Americans,” Attorney General John […]

Police State

Wednesday, March 5th, 2003 · 14 Comments

He Kept His Shirt On — And Got Arrested It’s beyond me what is happening in this country. Thanks to Bush, the media, and the fear they are creating, this country is becoming a police state wherein our Constitutional rights aren’t worth a damn and people who exhibit their First Amendment right can be thrown […]

Private Landlord Frustration

Monday, February 10th, 2003 · Comments Off on Private Landlord Frustration

As much as I’m enjoying mine and Jen’s new apartment in the city, dealing with a private landlord (or property manager in our case) is a pain in the ass. Our place has all kinds of problems and we’re relying on one guy to fix them. The whole reason I brought Stella to work with […]

A Hydrogen Future?

Wednesday, January 29th, 2003 · Comments Off on A Hydrogen Future?

For me, the most shocking part of Bush’s State of the Union speech last night was not the constant look of the undead in his eyes, his plastered hair, or his determination to go to war with Iraq — those things are all expected — but his proposal of $1.2 billion in federal funding to […]
