Oh, Shiite!
August 2, 2006
Last year, Bush invoked a sophomoric vision of a Sunni based restoration of the Caliphate under the leadership of Al Qaeda as the new boogieman justifying our bloated military industrial complex and neo-colonial foriegn policy. In reponse, I wrote an article about the much more tangible threat posed by a newly energized Shiite pan-nationalism, unified
Clear Channel Channels a Seditious God
August 2, 2006
Did that piss you off? Good. That feeling means you are a real American. The fucking seditious assholes at Clear Channel who are forcing people to look at this sententious, presumptious, blasphemous, anti-American, Constitution-undermining bullshit, don’t know that feeling. These theo-totalitarian bags of shit are actively trying to undermine the Constitutional order under the guise
GOP Files FEC Complaint on Pederson, Short-Circuits Irony Meter
August 1, 2006
The GOP filed a campaign finance complaint against Pederson. The complaint really isn’t the news. The complaint alleges some late and incomplete filings that were submitted or later amended; it’s nothing but an attempt to dirty up of the presumptive Democratic candidate, and not worth the ink the Star give it. What is really mind-blowingly
Bill Johnson’s Waste of Money
August 1, 2006
I recently noticed that William "Bill" Johnson, the ‘Traditional Democrat" candidate for Congress here in CD 8, put up street signs. I also noticed they are totally inept. Take a gander: There is one simple rule for such signage. You have to be able to read the last name and the office at a glance.

I strongly agree with most of what Wafa Sultan says in this interview on Al Jazeera. She takes on the hypocrisy, spiritual totalitarianism, and violence within some of Islam’s leadership. While watching this, I kept thinking, "This lady is going to get herself killed!"’ You may not agree with some of what she says, but

Public Debate Footage Held Hostage to DRM
July 30, 2006
I have some concerns about the current method the Commission is storing and distributing video footage of the Commission-sponsored candidate debates. The video of debates sponsored by a public entity, at public expense, should be absolutely free to the public for any use to which they wish to put it. Currently footage is being distributed
Pederson Charged with Driving While Democratic
July 30, 2006
The AZ Repugnant ripped on Pederson for his hooptie: Car collections reflect Jim Pederson. Apparently, Jimmy was driving a Mercedes S class – a very nice ride indeed. Wish I had one, and if I had the cheddar, I probably would. All that fine German engineering and craftsmanship didn’t sit so well with American unions,
