  • Bigot Alert

    “If racial discrimination in the interest of diversity does not violate public policy, then surely discrimination in the practices of religion is no violation.” In his 1981 friend-of-the-court filing with the Supreme Court, Lott cited court rulings upholding affirmative action programs at colleges and compared them to the dating ban between black and white students […]

  • Face Off

    Just got done watching Face Off. I do enjoy watching movies while I’m sitting here working at the computer. Got my opt-in list screened of any unsubscribers and I’ll be ready to broadcast in a day or so to my 3,300 subscribers with my first teleclass announcement. I’ve so far watched Aliens, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, […]

  • Bowling for Columbine

    Ron and I finally got to see Bowling for Columbine. What a movie! A stunning indictment of our fear-driven culture of violence and madness. Michael Moore tears the heart out of any niceties in saying Americans are violent ‘just because’ and coughs up the profiteers of a fear-charged economy. That as long as we stay […]

  • Uncontrollable

    The Catholic Church decides to hide behind the myth that homosexuals have uncontrollable sex urges. That’s just great. If priests are celibate – does it matter who they are not supposed to be sleeping with – as long as they aren’t doing it? Plus, reinforcing the stereotype that those that sexually abuse minors are uncontrollable […]

  • Impending Cookies

    Sitting here at the Caribou. It is 8:30 and the influx of men has been increasing since the turn of the hour. I’m sitting here listening to Mindless Self Indulgence. I feel like I might have a panic attack soon. I dunno. Maybe it’s the tea. Or the wool sweater. Took yesterday and today off […]

  • Make-Believe

    Interview with Derrick Jensen author of Culture of Make Believe Race, Murder and the Lies We Tell Ourselves on Guerrilla News: If you go just by the numbers, then the largest segregationist racist organization in the country is the American judicial and penal system because it has achieved segregation of black males on a scale […]

  • Carving the Korma

    Two consultants of mid-East Asian descent showed up for a meeting and someone asked: How was your holiday? Do you celebrate – uh – I’m not sure how Americanized are you? Heh. Oh my God. I just heard my sister scream in Nashville. And then earlier in a meeting someone else was relaying a conversation […]

  • It's Like 1968 All Over Again

    Vietnam. Kissinger participated in a GOP plot to undermine the 1968 Paris peace talks in order to assist Richard Nixon’s presidential campaign. Kissinger oversaw the secret bombing campaign in Cambodia estimated to have claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians. Bangladesh. In 1971, Pakistani General Yahya Khan, armed with U.S. weaponry, overthrew a […]

  • Evasiveness

    “We ought to look at people who are trying to avoid U.S. taxes as a problem,” roared President Bush. “I think American companies ought to pay taxes and be good citizens.” The IRS estimates that corporate emigres are depriving the U.S. Treasury of around $70 billion a year.
