I’ve finally come to accept the fact that I’m never going to find the time to comment on everything I want to make mention of, so I’m going to try occasionally posting links to news and opinions that I think you’ll find of interest, but which I’ve never gotten around to talking about. Here’s the […]
This week’s This Modern World comic is pretty darned funny….and scary at the same time. Check out Life in the Bubble.
It’s been awhile since I linked to one of Justin Raimondo’s rants, but I especially liked his column from yesterday, which was called Go F*ck Yourself, Mr. President. In it, he takes on the ridiculous ad that the Republicans are running in Iowa, in which they try to scare people into voting for the only […]
President Bush snuck into Iraq today to have Thanksgiving dinner with some of the troops there. While I’m sure that most (if not all) of the soldiers were glad to have him, the fact is that this is another Presidential campaign stop for Bush, this time using his supposed concern for the troops as cover.

The ISM […]

Right now it’s looking like it’ll pass, as the Democrats may not have enough votes to filibuster it, but there are already indications that […]
In this week’s comic, Tom Tomorrow takes a mocking look at the idea of the “The Homosexual Menace.” Check it out.
While the Bush administration pushes its farce of an energy bill, the Chinese are actually doing something about their dependence on foreign oil: The Chinese government is preparing to impose minimum fuel economy standards on new cars for the first time, and the rules will be significantly more stringent than those in the United States, […]
Apparently when it comes to Iraq, we’ve decided to follow the example of those paragons of human rights, the Israelis: It is the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but transported to Iraq. A town is imprisoned by razor wire. The entrance is guarded by soldiers, protected by sand bags, concrete barricades and a machine-gun nest. […]
