"Even kooky, ignorant rapist-pardoning goober preachers can play the bass."

Share Button

This sort of funny yet lame comment, the quality of which you’d expect to find on the KOS site, from the Talk Bass ♫ forum about the Republican winner of tonights Iowa caucus. I may not be endorsing Huckabee (one two extremely devout Christian Presidents is enough in my lifetime, thanks), but from the YouTube […]

Sonicfrog Rocks The Caucus….

Share Button

… No I don’t. I live on the other side of the continent, but the headline sounded good so I went with it. But if I was there, and I could vote for one candidate from the two major parties, I would support… …drum roll please… Barack Obama and Ron Paul. In a nutshell here […]

Quick Thoughts On The CIA-Destroyed-Tapes-Showing-Waterboarding Scandal Thing (does it have a "____ gate" label yet?)

Share Button

Maybe I missed it; has anyone commented on the fact that we now know, in short order, the identity of at least one person who was involved in the torture of Zubdayah? Because it’s so easy to track down ones associates in the information age, knowing the identity of one person puts all persons involved […]

A Political Quizzie.

HERE. Compliments of Citizen Deux, though he FORGOT to provide a link! Here is list of candidates, ranked in order of those who’s views and political positions most closely match mine. I am a Moderate Libertarian, which is a bit more moderate than I was in college when I took a similar test some fifteen […]

Is This Spin?

Share Button

Political Spin, that is. The media is abuzz with the release of the latest NIE report that concludes that, despite the rhetoric spewed forth by the Cheney wing of the bush administration, Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Part of the buzz about this document is that the report was ready for […]

Political Ramblings. UPDATE!

Share Button

This type of probe should have happened long ago over the “Oil For Food” fiasco. Yes I know the UN did investigate O.F.F., but I’m not sure if I would classify that as an honest attempt to hold ALL those involved accountable (though someone is paying the price). Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, […]

Three Quick Predictions – One Good, One Bad, and…

Share Button

… one that may already be coming true. Let’s start with the latter. Prediction 1: It’s not really a prediction, but more of a warning. It involves Pakistan. Musharraf has declared martial law, apparently to quash a supreme court ruling that may have prevented him from running run president in the upcoming elections. Musharraf is […]

Interesting Iraq News That Won't Make A Diffierence…

Share Button

… with the “Bush Lied People Died” crowd anyway. The single source of faulty evidence concerning bio weapons in Iraq has been revealed. Though specific details are sketchy (and you know how much I like details), it would appear the US had been relying on this man’s intel to justify our fears of Iraqi military […]

The Case For Impeachment.

Share Button

I have been very critical about the demands to impeach Presidents Bush and Cheney (the latter has at times acted more the President than the former) because the main complaint was that they lied about WMD’s to get us into Iraq.  First and foremost, you would have to prove the executive branch had specific, solid […]

Dropped Packets, "Live Goreth", and Genital Integrity!

Share Button

“I don’t normally support circumcisions, but in this case…” In the spirit of the recent “Live Earth” concert, where concerned musicians traveled all over the world, spewing tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in order to play a few songs, curse, and tell us to stop emitting so much CO2, I decided to find other […]
