Now, how are you going to vote in the RECALL ELECTION? In the PRIMARIES next March? In the General Election in 2004?

I cast these votes because my vote MATTERS. Because the future of the planet MATTERS. and because I have literally decades worth of evidence to support the contention that electing a Democrat to office makes no FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE as to whether the vast bulk of my issues make progress, and even more fundamentally, whether the total annahilation of life on this planet as we know it is reversed.

Brilliance and idiocy all in one…

The infamous Marc Cooper has a rant published in the latest edition of the L.A. Weekly (reproduced here on Arianna’s web site). It quite effectively demolishes most of the arguments against the recall.
Unfortunately, he has to get his digs in against the Green Party:
Myth No. 4: The Green Party is a viable alternative.
This should be […]

So, I’ve been using IE and Outlook Express (and now, Windows XP) for several years now, despite my violent dislike for Microsoft’s monopolistic marketing tactics and the obscufactory lack of documentation for their operating systems that leave me, as a skilled systems administrator, incapable of maintaining my own machine due to a fundamental lack of […]

What’s wrong with this picture?

[Now, remember - this is what you get when you have an Assembly, Senate and Governorship all controlled by Democrats. Even if they’ve inherited this, they’ve done nothing significant to reverse it… and how long have the Republicans managed to control the state legislature in the last twenty years? Not long.

more and more chaotic and absurd

[Crazier and crazier… do we really want a lame duck Governor fighting for his life until March? At that rate, the tab for the recall won’t just be $67,000,000 plus another $50 million campaign funds… Davis himself will probably raise $100 milllion, and the other candidates just as much. We’ll hear about nothing else, be […]
