DMCA sponsor finally getting challenged

I am so happy that Pete Ashdown will be running against Utah’s Senator Orrin Hatch, the arrogant sycophant of big media industry who sponsored the DMCA legistlation as a bill. The fact that he backed DMCA is alone reason enough to wish Senator Hatch an early retirement, but his views on almost everything else warrant […]

Sometimes Music and Poetry and a Few Photos are Worth Millions of Words

This just about sums up my feelings about the U.S. administration so eloquently and succinctly that it deserves spreading around. Sorry if the language is not suitable for certain environment… it is a flash slideshow with music, runs a few minutes. Worth every precious moment it takes to watch. FilmStripInternational Thanks Kate!

2006 General Elections Warming Up

The past several days have been exciting here in Virginia, at least for those of us following and planning to work in U.S. Senate and Congressional Election campaigns. Two days ago the races for Senator George Allen’s seat heated up as James Webb announced he would be will seek the Democratic nomination. Today I found […]

President Bush’s Unique Opportunity to Make History

As much as I despise his horrible track record of poor leadership and dishonesty, I think we should try to connect with President Bush. He has a rare window of opportunity: 1) Essentially three years left to his term, and he knows he can’t be re-elected. 2) The public already disapproves of his administration. 3) […]

NPR News Better than Corporate Media News?

For years I have used NPR (Radio) and BBC (Internet and TV) as excellent news sources because most corporate owned “mainstream” media news sources in the U.S.A. have become lame at best (CNN, NBC, CBS), and outright neo-conservative propaganda machines for their corporate owners at worst (FOX, ABC). About the time the tyranny of Bush […]

Judge Alito? No thank you!

Here is an interesting editorial from the New York Times about what Judge Alito has revealed in three days of hearings. The democracy is already at stake without this puppet of Imperial Presidency on the bench, we need to stop this appointment now. Please contact your senators (yes both of them) immediately.

Where are our delegate’s priorities?

So in their first days in session for the new year, Virginia’s legislature decided to prioritize new bills to address Virginia’s biggest problems first, right? Wrong. Instead our elected law makers spent the a day debating the merits of amending our state constitution to ban gay marriage. Why? Gay marriage is already illegal. Do we […]

Pastafarianism

Wired magazine has a pretty interesting article about the Passion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster online right now, it mentions the upcoming Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster book (expected in March) and has a short interview with Bobby Henderson wherein he mentions that proceeds from the book and Venganza website are funding the construction […]

Sexy Saturnalia To You!

There has been a lot of hoopla raised by the usual goof-ball rabble rousers (mostly that coward Bill O’Reilly over at Faux-News and the so-called American Family Association) about some supposed war on Christmas. At first I thought this was some sort of joke, and that the goof-balls were just ranting out of sheer spite, […]
