  • Scottie speaks the truth in spite of himself

    So we were scraping the flesh off artichoke leaves and eating shrimp and watching Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove” which we have on DVD (why in the world is it full screen). The blog will make it seem that about all I ever watch are antiwar films, because I mention film very little and when I do…

  • Why can I never remember Karl Rove’s face?

    I never can remember Karl Rove’s face. Rumsfeld is easy. When I think Rumsfeld I think Wes Craven’s “Hellraiser”. Rumsfeld has always, always been “Hellraiser” to me. But Rove? Nothing. A suit with a zero for a head. Continuing. My son can draw like crazy. This is not one of his drawings-drawings. This is my…

  • This is a children’s crusade

    “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…

  • 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…
