  • Shining a light on the blind spots that aid hate groups

    “Mainstream Malice” at Jay Taber’s blog, “Skookum”, begins: My significant other was listening to Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman interview a former undercover FBI agent on our community radio two days ago, who made the assertion that field agents (like he was before resigning over disagreements with mid-level management) are generally conscientious folks, but that bureaucratic…

  • Pie fight!

    Ok, I know the pie fight talk has been around for a week already, but… Yeah, I’m slow, but I eventually get there. For reading, go to Shakespeare’s Sister who has the links. As for the crowd that dares not shave its legs, I don’t get why this is an iusult because I haven’t shaved…

  • Saturday with the Sisters of Mercy

    Yesterday was a beautiful morning. For no reason at all, since we live in the area, we got lost getting on the Interstate going North to visit some relatives. We went South and pulled off into downtown and began circling back to where we live to get it right this time. And so doing we…

  • Just for the hell of it, who’s who on Kimberly-Clark’s BOD

    First, going through Kotex ads, it occurred to me that the keywords are security and protection. How appropo for Patriot Act and Real ID man Sensenbrenner. (The original ad for the above Moretex spoof is below.)

  • All the news that’s fit not to drift back

    Via Raw Story is the news that PSYOPS is being outsourced.

  • Sensenbrenner walks off with the gavel

    It’s Sensenbrenner’s gavel. All his. So, Sensenbrenner challenged Tom Delay’s “Silver Hammer” title on Friday, declaring every concern about the Patriot Act to be irrelevant, indeed everyone in the room who wasn’t Republican was irrelevant, he slammed his gavel down and then picked it up and walked off the scene of the crime bearing what…

  • Write supporting the Yellowstone Buffalo Preservation Act

    In my email: Proposed Legislation Would Put an End to the Slaughter of Buffalo Crossing Yellowstone’s Borders In a bold effort to end the senseless slaughter of America’s last wild and genetically pure buffalo, U.S. Reps. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Charles Bass (R-NH) introduced legislation on May 18th to protect the Yellowstone herd. The Yellowstone…

  • Conyers considering starting impeachment proceedings?

    CNN video on bloggers keeping the Downing Street Memo alive. Big Brass Alliance was mentioned. Awaken the Mainstream Media’s suggested targets for the day. And then this. Via the comments area at an Americablog posting on the Downing Street Memo beginning to be covered by the US media, is the following article from The Nation.…

  • Kill Bill

    Kill Bill, A progressive art slasher flick. I’m just a bill Yes, I’m only a bill And I’m sittinghere on Capitol Hill. I am the Patriot Act And I’m looking for expansion, I want unfettered power To know your every action, I’m sure I’ll be a law some day… Though you can hope I never…

  • It’s not just MARC it’s the Freedom Rail

    Grabbed this from over at Dkos. It’s a poster placed by MARC, the metro rail between Baltimore and DC. As is pointed out, the “Watch, Ride, Report” poster, requesting all to keep look-out for suspicious objects, overwhelmingly recalls Socialist Realism or what many retain in their memory as Socialist Realism. On the web we tend…

  • Anyone out there have a pathological white Xtian Conservative grandmother to contribute to the cause?

    Reading Heretik’s reference to the 57-year-old “grandmother” who was put on a terrorist suspect list when found at the airport to be packing a butter knife, it occurs to me this will be how it ends. First, don’t you love it how the press always pulls the “She’s a grandmother!” shtick. Would they have the…
