My Own Little Campaign
Tuesday, 2.28.2006

This is the kick-off of my campaign to get bars to serve free non-alchoholic beverages to those who don't drink alchohol. Think of all the sober cabs this would promote. I am tired of going to a bar and paying $2 for a shitty, small glass of coke. From this time forward, every time I order a coke on a Friday or Saturday night I will ask for it to be free. If they say no, I will inform them of my campaign. It starts here!   [read more...]
No, Hillary, No!
Tuesday, 1.24.2006

Putting up Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee for president would be a huge mistake. First of all, she would lose, but most of all she thinks the way to win is to move to the center. Not only is this bad because it won't work but also because she is willing to move to the center to win an election. The Democratic party needs someone who will speak truth to power and stop trying to be so calculated and "republican-lite"! read more...]
Republican Ethics?????????
Tuesday, 1.17.2006

Give me a break! If these people had a genuine interest in being ethical, they would have done something about the "not so secret" corruption before the story broke. The GOP are a bunch of poster children for publicly financed elections. Not until we completely remove the money from politics will we truly have a government working for its people.

Blue State Banter has a "radical homosexual agenda"
Monday, 12.5.2005

I am so tired of James Dobson and his fascist posse! Now he claims that Wells Fargo supports a "radical homosexual agenda" because of their support for a human rights group. This is just another example of how Focus on the Family will go down in history as a hateful and bigoted organization.

50 years ago today Martin Luther King gave a speech in support of Rosa Parks at the beginning of the Montgomery bus   [read more...]

The Nature of Those Who Fight for Change
Wednesday, 11.30.2005

This is an exerpt from a paper I am writing that I thought you might enjoy...

The mark of someone who is working in the interests of an open society is that he is intellectually honest. This honesty is a sign that he is selfless, that he does not work in his own interests but that he is working for what is right. This honesty comes in the form of questioning the status quo and questioning oneself in a constant search for what is right. He must constantly ask “why?” The result of this   [read more...]

Doomtree Blowout @ Varsity Theater
Monday, 12.10.2005

Logistical nightmare ruins otherwise epic show.

This show would have been great, had the Varsity theater gotten their shit together and realized there would be tons of kiddies coming. First of all, I was informed at the show that you could have bought advance tickets, but this was not publicized anywhere else. Then, they opened the doors to let people in about a half hour before showtime, and there was a line around the block. It was probably around 0 degrees   [read more...]

There the Brits go again, making sense and all
Friday, 12.9.2005

Does this make dizzyingly perfect sense to anyone else?

...evidence obtained through torture - no matter by whom - [is] not admissible in British courts.
Let's face it, the whole concept of torturing someone as a means to gather information (setting aside the fact it is disgustingly inhumane) is fatally flawed. Start torturing ME and I'll probably tell you   [read more...]

Complacency Is Un-American
Thursday, 11.10.2005

Do you remember when broadcast journalists actually made a difference? Remember when they actually informed the public instead of clogging our airwaves with pretty faces and political rhetoric? Well, I don't either, because I was born in the early 80's, and grew up in an age when someone decided that broadcast media should make everyone paranoid and superficial instead of informed and cultured.

Well I saw a great movie the past weekend that reminded me things can be (and were)   [read more...]

Yay for PA
Wednesday, 11.9.2005

Finally! American's are coming to their senses. I don't know who thought intelligent design was a science in the first place, but Pennsylvania voters have (by removing some school board members) obviously realized that it's not. Check out this NY Times article.

On a related note: Pennsylvania is also kicking ass this week because Penn State dominated Wisconsin in College footbal, and the   [read more...]
