I voted for Ralph Nader in the MoveOn.org primary

My comments as input on the MoveOn.org “primary” ballot:
I find none of the Democratic Party nominees at this point to be particularly compelling. Dennis Kusinich and Howard Dean appear to be acceptable, but I am reserving my support until I see who my own party settles on (if anyone), and whether they are a superior […]

Greens continue to make gains…

Where the party has strong, credible candidates, they generate major party results… where the party runs again (here, as in California), election over election, they show strong gains. The consistency of results like this, across the world - in Australia, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and here at home, give me great confidence in our party’s future, […]

My comments on Dean’s speech formally announcing his campaign for President.

I’ve been watching the Dean campaign from a distance over the past year. As a Green, it speaks volumes to me about the depth to which the Democratic Party as a whole has descended, that a mainstream middle of the road liberal like Dr. Dean is hailed as the savior of all that is good and fair in our country.

Gandhi

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

U.S. censors Iraqi press, pisses off citizenry.

In volatile Iraq, US curbs press
Iraqi journalists are not taking kindly to the restrictions. Among the scores of new publications that have flooded Iraq’s newsstands since the US-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime, the broadsheet As-Saah is one of the most widely read. In a front-page […]

Greg Palast on Cynthia McKinney

[This is a fascinating tale of the right-wing’s “Echo Chamber” strategy in action… and of how utterly pathetic America’s newsmedia has become. -Thomas]
The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney

Have you heard about Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Congresswoman?
According to those quoted on National Public Radio, McKinney’s “a loose cannon” (media expert) who “the […]

SysAdmin Related Sig. file…

One unfortunate truth of the profession of system administration is that we
wouldn’t enjoy it so much if it didn’t reward its practitioners for being
lateral thinkers with a predilection for high-intensity short-duration
incident-based problem solving, or, as we say in the trade, “Triggerhappy
psycho-freakazoid gloryhound powermongers with stress-induced facial tics.”

Instant Runoff Voting

So, an activist is someone who DOES something. I pointed out that the recall situation is a classic example of why IRV is important, and then drafted a sample letter to the editor and byline editorial to support that proposition, then turned it into a letter to an elected representative.
The people at Fair Vote California […]

Another day with the kids.

We took Rowan back up to his parents this afternoon… the kids were having so much fun with him, playing guitar, singing, playing games, running around, etc. that they demanded to ride with him, even though it meant a three hour round trip in the car… we packed them into the car, along with half […]

Weekend wrap up…

First time I’m using the w.bloggar desktop client software to make a significant posting… we’ll see how this goes. :)
So, let’s see:

Saturday morning: girls wake up, come in, cuddle with Gunilla, clean their room (deal was, they clean room, they […]
