No more video games …

Resident Bush has gotten us into the first “real” war we’ve had since
Vietnam. Messy, complicated, deadly, confusing and horrifying to watch. The
Shrub is going to have people sitting outside his front door, singing the
modern equivalent of “Hey, hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” on a
24/7 basis. I hope it drives him as […]

Two articles on Media Coverage of the War in Iraq

… have we forgotten that there’s still a war going on in Afghanistan? Two soldiers died, and several were injured when some “Taliban” (the article was at least perceptive enough to comment that the person claiming the attackers were Taliban couldn’t explain how they had been identified as such) attacked a convoy, according to this […]

1,000+ page views

Someone appears to be reading this weblog … I get the occassional email, and my web logging software (the old fashioned kind), shows 1,100 page views (not all of which can be attributed to my own activities). Oddly enough, however, very few people seem motivated to comment - I think I’ve had two people comment […]

War

I make rhetorical mincemeat of ignorant/arrogant right wing critic of anti-war protestors - what fun! :)

Declan,
When I took philosophy in high school, one of the basic rhetorical techniques we were taught NOT to use was ad-hominem attacks, as an attack on the messenger, and not the message, proves nothing - yet, this technique seems to be a particular favorite of a certain style of conservative pundit (unfortunately, American media doesn’t […]

Dear friends and family,
Last night my partner Diana and I took part with other
doctors in a march in Times Square, New York, at 5:30 p.m.

After our respective clinics in the Bronx we arrived at the

It is hard being a Democrat these days…

See The Forest - my Democrat friend on Joseph Biden’s saying anti-war folks were not welcome in the Democratic party, “Why THANKS, Joe! F%&k you, too!”
I’m hoping to have him voting Green by the 2004 election - especially if Lieberman gets nominated…

Paul Krugman on corporate sponsored pro-war rallies…

Channels of Influence - corporate Amerikkka doesn’t even bother to hide it’s sympathies behind the cloak of right-wing think tanks any more - it just pays for and organizes “astroturf” campaigns itself.

Mark Twain on School Boards

I saw this in the paper a few weeks ago:
“God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.”
Now, I have a little bit more respect for these folks than that, but it does kind of sum up a lot of the frustration folks have felt. Not to mention that the essence […]

WRONG PORT IN STORM

PETER JENNINGS, ABC - A large number of people in the country are
opposed to this [war] … but look to members of the Democratic Party,
particularly, to be sort of their port in a storm, their place to
manifest their dissatisfaction.
SENATOR JOSEPH BIDEN - They’ve got the wrong port. . . The decision’s
been […]

Latest Project: BuyFrenchNow.com

My latest side project: BuyFrenchNow.com … definitely counter-programming the zeitgeist, as I did with SavageStupidity.com. Quite a decent amount of media coverage so far… working on increasing it.

Mosaic 1.0 released over ten years ago!

… damn, I feel old now. My first web site, the Gnosis Archive, was put up in 1993… I once saw a reference that said that would make it one of the first 2,000 web sites in the world; and I’m pretty certain the number of web sites still in existence from that period is […]

Martyrdom of Patriarch +Constant Chevillon - Tau Harmonius

[From the liturgy: “We who Gnostic are, are thought mad and laughed at, hated and despised, and sometimes even put to death.” The Nazi bastards killed the Patriarch of the French Gnostic Church. Within my father’s lifetime, we have been targeted for our faith and killed… history repeats itself. We do not forget. -Thomas]
