I suppose anybody that dabbles in amateur political commentary should have something to say about the Democratic convention and John Kerry’s official coronation as the party’s candidate. But what’s left to say that hasn’t already been said? I could babble about my own mixed feelings about Kerry, but I think I’ve made that clear before.… Continue reading Political Irony
Let Freedom Ring – Let Linda Sing
OK … the stinking fascist intolerant rabid hate-mongering closed-minded illiterate Gestapo thought police in this country have gone too far. We’ve had to listen to assholes like Toby Keith, Darryl Worley, Charlie Daniels, etc. spew filthy lies and racist hatred, while at the same time listen to criticism of “liberal Hollywood celebrities” who dare to… Continue reading Let Freedom Ring – Let Linda Sing
Who would Jesus torture?
Christian Dewar has an interesting article on the Democratic Underground website. With Bush gathering support from the “religious right” (which many people say is neither) for being a “man of faith”, Dewar compares Bush’s pious words with his cruel, dishonest, hypocritical actions. It would be nice if all those who praise Bush for his “moral… Continue reading Who would Jesus torture?
The worst is…the boys shrieking
The infamous “liberal media” don’t seem to want to touch this story. A Google News search turns up almost nothing. But reports are circulating among sources such as The Daily Mislead about Seymour Hersh’s recent speech to the ACLU. Hersh, who has previously proven to be a very reliable source on the Abu Ghraib prison… Continue reading The worst is…the boys shrieking
Jethro goes to Washington?
Okay, this item is definitely back in the political arena. Thanks to my friend Liza (and my mother’s doctor … is that a strange source for warped humor?) for passing along this gem, forwarded umptysome times from some unknown source. Sing along to this one – you know the tune!! Black gold that is!
Evil Empire vs. Open Source?
Once again, the boundary between geeky topics and political ranting is blurring. Not long after a report that Teddy Kennedy’s Senate office runs on Macintosh technology, we get a story about the technology choices of the Bush and Kerry campaigns. And, once again, it’s ironically appropriate.
Mail Overload?
A Computerworldarticle reports that Postini’s email management service is rejecting over half the messages addressed to their customers without reading them, based on the sending server’s IP address. 53% of connection attempts are immediately dropped without even looking at the message contents.
Don’t read that! You’ll destroy it!!
It’s tough to decide whether this belongs in the “Political Rants” or “Geek Stuff” category. When I first read about it on a newsgroup, I first thought it belonged in tne “Bullshit” category, but a quick Google News search revealed that it’s true. The Department of Justice has refused to comply with a Freedom of… Continue reading Don’t read that! You’ll destroy it!!
If you can’t steal it, cancel it?
With Dubya’s approval rates sinking to record lows, and polls showing him behind Kerry, is there any doubt that his gang will pull the same kind of vote-stealing shenanigans they did four years ago? Well, maybe they won’t. Apparently they have a fallback plan in case he gets so far behind it doesn’t even look… Continue reading If you can’t steal it, cancel it?
Light Bulb Joke
I’m lazy and haven’t posted anything here recently. Somebody sent this to me and I thought it was funny. So here it is. How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is seven.
