Senator Ted Stevens (R) from Alaska gives an absolutely incomprehensible explanation of the Internet.
Time to head for the life boats, the US is sinking….

What He Says

I could not agree more with this posting over on kottke.org.
It’s About Time…
Posted in elsewhere, social issues on Dec 27th, 2005
From AlterNet comes this:
George Bush is already a lame-duck president. There’s usually a year or two grace period after the president is elected for the second time, when he can point to his second election victory as vindication for his policies and use it to get some important legislation passed. Bush has squandered his election [...]

Posse Comitatus
Posted in social issues on Sep 23rd, 2005
The Posse Comitatus act prevents the United State government from using US troops for domestic law enforcement duties. Local or state militias, e.g., the National Guard, can and are used to restore order and assist in emergencies.

With President Bush’s term still having over three years to run, he will likely have several opportunities to move the [...]
Living Under Fascism
Posted in elsewhere, social issues on Dec 11th, 2004
A while back I read an article that described 14 characteristics of fascism using the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, and others as examples. What was chilling about the piece were the parallels to present day America. You can read my Fascism Scorecard, and see for yourself.
Yesterday I stumbled across this sermon by Davidson Loehr, a [...]
Abu Ghriab and Me
Posted in life, social issues on Nov 20th, 2004
You never fully appreciate just how interconnected we all are until some event on the world stage impacts your life. Take the Abu Ghraib prison scandal for example. As a program manager in the information technology field, working in Kansas, you wouldn’t expect my life to be directly impacted by heinous human rights violations [...]
