Truly Scary

July 28th, 2003 · 1 Comment

Creative Loafing Atlanta | NEWS & VIEWS | CAREFUL: THE FB-EYE MAY BE WATCHING Remember that freedom of speech includes the freedom to read. This is a story that’s, quite frankly, both difficult to believe and not difficult to believe at all these days. And that’s what makes it so scary.

Face Lift

July 27th, 2003 · 2 Comments

The Winkola website (a.k.a. “Unspun™”) is about to undergo a facelift. The first movement in that direction is that (as you can see) the blog is currently the main page of the site. I haven’t decided whether to leave it that way or not. But, for now, that’s how it is. After all, it’s the […]

Why Should We Know?

July 24th, 2003 · No Comments

It doesn’t really matter to me whether someone agrees with my political views or not, there’s one thing that seems to me ought to make sense to everyone: We, the people, have not just a right, but a responsibility to know how our country is being run. We have the right to know how much […]

Ashamed to be American? You bet your ass!

July 7th, 2003 · 5 Comments

Tonight, on that bastion of intellectual thought, Hannity & Colmes, I learned that I’m unpatriotic because I embrace some liberal ideals, such as participatory democracy. This is a terrible thing because some liberals attempting to engage conservatives in a debate over contemporary issues have also used provocative language, claiming to be embarrassed to be Americans.
