  • CBS Journalist Dotty Lynch Asks 'Where's the War Protests?”

    This really galls me. CBS’s Dotty Lynch asks where all the war protesters are. We’ve been here, you dumbass. (full analysis on DailyKos) Here’s my email to CBS: “But as the war in Iraq rages on I keep asking myself: Where are the young people this time around?” Well if you’d been paying attention you […]

  • Celebrity Colonialism: Brad and Angelina in Namibia

    A Western security force has effectively taken over the small African nation of Namibia. A beach resort in Langstrand in Western Namibia has been sealed off with security cordons, and armed security personnel have been keeping both local residents and visiting foreigners at bay. A no-fly zone has been enforced over part of the country. […]

  • International Mister Leather 2006, Mick Powers, Reefer Madness

    (written last night, posted this morning) It has been a fun weekend. Last night Ron and I ended up throwing in my air conditioners and watching movies all day. We went to the gym in the morning (chest) and then had lunch at Ricebox and came home and broke out the power tools to install […]

  • White House Seeded Propaganda in US Press

    Among items provided by the Bush administration to news stations was one in which an Iraqi-American in Kansas City was seen saying “Thank you Bush. Thank you USA” in response to the 2003 fall of Baghdad. The footage was actually produced by the State Department, one of 20 federal agencies that have produced and distributed […]

  • Ken Lay: Guilty on All Counts

    Time for the prison sex! The verdict put the blame for the demise of what was once the nation’s seventh-largest company squarely on its top two executives. It came in the sixth day of deliberations following a trial that lasted nearly four months.

  • Prince on American Idol?

  • Government-Subsidized Haircuts

    It is 8:01 and I just did Ron’s first courtesy call for our eventual meeting at the gym in probably and hour and a half. I’ll call him again in 20 minutes and make sure he confirms he is actually standing up out of bed. The finale of 24 was fantastic! WOW. Great reversals and […]

  • Partying with Judi, Ian and Maggie and the Mayor of Boystown

    It is Monday night and I’m sitting here at the Caribou coffeeshop watching people come and go. I got my hair cut today and it feels much much better. I got a #1 on the sides which is a bit buzz-cutty but not so much on the top. Here’s a way to illustrate how Ron […]
