Garden? We’re much to busy, all of us, protesting and ranting and agonizing over the destruction of this democracy. But hear me out. If corporate control of government is one of the problems, one of the solutions is to opt out of participating in that slow motion disaster, and rebel, if only a little bit, [...]

Did he really say that? Is the man out there? Krazy Karl had the nads to espouse the following:
Karl Rove claimed that he was “opposed” to holding the pre-war Iraq vote just ahead of the 2002 elections. “The administration was opposed to voting on it in the fall of 2002,” Rove said. He stated that [...]

It’s been a long time since I was in the Army. I was drafted in 1968 and I served 22 months in all, with the last 12 being in Vietnam. I was a combat infantryman in a mortar platoon. I always had some shame after Vietnam. I was always ashamed that I didn’t see the [...]

I slogged through my email’s this morning..my mind on other things..when I hit on one from Newsweek that caught my attention. The title: ‘In the Realm of the Dying Dollar’ was enough for me to sit still and read it through. I have heard lately that europeans and canadians are flocking to our shores to [...]

It is with great regret I announce to you what might possibly be the true cost of George W. Bush’s two wars my dear reader. It probably won’t surprise you, but it will jack your jaw just a tad I think. According to the Democrats and The Washington Post..the total cost for both wars, at [...]

not content with papa bush’s attempt to cozy up to saddam hussein (or replace him with a different dictator more friendly to american corporate interests) by leaving the kurds high and dry after the ‘gulf war’ in 1991, the bushling has decided to cozy up to turkey and butt fuck the kurds again. gee, [...]

First off, its complete bs that British Petroleum-BP can do this. There should be criminal charges filed against these mofo’s at every level of management my dear reader. Per an AP writeup, they are buying their way out of the following problems:
BP PLC is taking a multimillion dollar broom to sweep away a slew [...]

i haven’t been doing as much posting these days as reading. it’s probably just as well because what i have been reading hasn’t been pretty. many folks are leaving their blogs in what is probably best described as a state of ptsd- and that isn’t to make light of the problem. there is one thing [...]

I have been watching the unrest in Burma..also known as Myanmar, for almost two weeks now. I have seen things I never thought I would see happening in living color. I watched the murder of a Japanese journalist named Kenji Nagai who was holding nothing but a video camera when a Burmese soldier gunned him [...]

What is it about the underdog that appeals to the american sense of justice? Since our revolution, and when it suited us, we have always supported the underdog in foreign relations. Not that it’s a bad thing, necessarily, but i think sometimes we miss the bigger picture. When most folks think about [...]

Like most Americans, I suspect, I’ve been riveted by the PBS 7-part series on WWII, told from the ground up (by the real people who experienced it) , and with benefit of newly unearthed contemporaneous video footage (some in color) & stills. It’s been nothing short of astounding, in my opinion.
I fervently [...]

it has been a rough ride for me these last few years. there was a time when i was- while not a bright eyed idealist- a naive young person bent on saving the world. because back then- i thought i could one person at a time. it has become abundantly clear that [...]

From CommonDreams:
The generals acted independently, coming in their own ways to the agonizing decision to defy military tradition and publicly criticize the Bush administration over its conduct of the war in Iraq.
What might be called The Revolt of the Generals has rarely happened in the nation’s history.
In op-ed pieces, interviews and TV ads, more than [...]
