A cousin of mine has to write a paper on John Edwards, and she's come asking me since I'm one of the only intelligent (read: Democrat) members of the family. It's supposed to be unbiased. I was hoping to help her with more than son of a mill worker bio type stuff... and I figure this is the place to ask. Who is John Edwards and what does he stand for? Thanks for the help.

It seems to me that in our modern society discrimination is heavily frowned upon, unless it's against smokers. Sure Sure it's bad for me, but I've always preferred the "My body, my choice" attitude. As the dangers of second hand smoke became apparent, and in my mind extremely hyped, smokers have been further and further marganalized. And in many ways it's not such a bad thing. Read More

There was a report this morning on NPR about the ancient ruins of Babylon and Camp Alpha, the army base that has been built on top of it. To say the least I'm frustrated and disappointed. This is one of the oldest cities in the world, the cradle of our damn civilization... and we're bulldozing helicopter pads and filling sand bags... this is above and beyond allowing the looting that we did, this is like pissing on the grave of humanity.

I heard a report on NPR the other day talking about a beef co-op that raised premium beef cattle, mostly for sale in Japan. Of course since the whole Mad-Cow Disease scare, Japan won't import American beef. While Americans have long since forgotten the problem, Japan hasn't. So this co-op, and Creekstone Farms, another company before them, want to test every single one of thier cattle to prove they're Mad-Cow-Free. Great idea some would say, but then they probably don't know that it's somehow illegal. Read More

Why does George W. hate facts?

Why does George W. hate common sense?

I'm oftentimes asked, is there a solution for the war on terror? Yes, there's a long-term solution, and that's freedom. See, free societies don't promote terror. Free societies are peaceful societies. Free societies are societies that provide hope and opportunity for people.

That'd be fine logic... if it made any fucking sense at all. Read More

"At 4:30 a.m. Tenet called the Situation Room and told the duty officer, 'Tell the president we got the son of a bitch'." Bush was not awakened, however, and by the time he got to the Oval Office that morning, it appeared that Saddam was still alive.

There have been many revelations from the Woodward book, but as I read this article yesterday it was this section that disturbed me most.

I get to work this morning, look at the front page of the Baltimore Sun, and I see dead people. They don't look like Bruce Willis. Instead I'm looking at a full color picture with two charred unrecoganizable dismembered corpses hanging from a bridge. Read More
