Locking Up America: Moral Majority, Minority Report

December 18th, 2004 · 4 Comments

Funny how the United States seems to be one of the few countries that never learns from its mistakes. Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. How many remember […]

The “Fear” of the Lord

December 16th, 2004 · 4 Comments

It has been quite a time to be alive in America. I’m not talking of wars or inventions or medical marvels. I’m talking about the short time since the re-election of George W. Bush. It’s been “red” states against “blue” states for weeks now, as if every state was filled with just one color. There […]

Corporate Morality

December 15th, 2004 · No Comments

Constitutional Law mid-term today; no time for serious blogging. But I ran across an interesting blog a couple days ago after finding it on What It Is Today, a blog owned by an unnamed female newswriter who has a link to my blog. (I’ve now returned the favor.) A Theory of Power belongs to Jeff […]

If my last post didn’t convince you on the “values” issue — and I wouldn’t be surprised, because I didn’t explicitly bring that to your attention — Donkey Rising’s post, The “Values Voters” Debate Continues should be an interesting read.

No Armor

December 13th, 2004 · No Comments

The military has found a way to handle those whiny crybaby military guys who are such wussies that they don’t like fighting a war involving bombs, missiles and other nasty things without armor. They’ll court-martial them.

If We Only Had A Brain

December 12th, 2004 · 5 Comments

Bernard Kerik — the President’s choice for Homeland Security Chief — stepped down because of “nanny problems” this week. This seems a little bizarre to me. After all, not only was he being touted as — because of his experience as a city police commissioner — imminently well-suited to the task of running the office […]

It would be pretty funny if Santa were Jewish, nu? I’m getting into the Christmas spirit, because I’m going to play “Santa” for my best friend’s family. (That’s actually me in the Santoclus get-up!) They have enough kids and grandkids to start their own city. So… Click for Larger ImageWarning! May take awhile on slow […]

Snark Shortages

December 9th, 2004 · No Comments

I simply could not stop laughing, reading this. Of course, the worst part is, Bush won re-election. Can snark hold out another four years?

Paean to Melted Piles of Slop

December 9th, 2004 · No Comments

Occasionally, I seek out new blogs. There are two methods I use for finding them: Google searches and clicking through from the “Most Regular Reading” or “Blogs I Read” or whatever other offerings are available on blogs I already read. Naturally, the best way of finding interesting blogs is to click the links to blogs […]
