Iraq: Still Bad, Getting Worse

October 31st, 2004

Now Colin Powell is saying it. We have seriously, seriously fucked up. I don’t like Kerry’s having voted for the authorization to go to war, and if he were competing against another senator who had voted against it, I would give Other Guy some major preference over Kerry. It was a vote of political cowardice, [...]


Just in case you haven’t heard about this anywhere else…

October 29th, 2004

The Ohio Vote Suppression Blog is documenting the tactics the GOP is using to supress the vote in that battleground state. They fight hard against get out the vote campaigns, because they know that this is a Democratic country, not a Republican one. They know that the more people vote, the more the Republicans lose, [...]


Looks like we did fail to secure Al Qaqaa after all

October 28th, 2004

This news site article is pretty strong proof that the explosives were there, we knew they were there, and we left them unguarded, to be looted later by the Iraqi resistance. Yay, us. We’re so great.

Boston – Fans roamed the streets of Boston in jubilant celebration today, as the Red Sox arrived back at Fenway as baseball’s world champions.

Now that the season is over, Go M’s!

Here’s a dream: Beltran and Pedro. What’s not to love? Apparently, Yankees officials don’t want Pedro because everyone in the clubhouse hates his guts. Pedro would thrive in Safeco. And can the Yankees really afford Beltran? They’re committed to the tune of $160 million or so to 15 roster players, and this is before solving [...]


Sox win!

The Red Sox have won their first World Series in 86 years, on a night with a total lunar eclipse. Armageddon tomorrow, so it was nice knowing all of you.


Bringing dignity to the White House

You must watch this. What a yahoo.


More crap from Republicans

October 26th, 2004

Republicans are getting a head start on disenfranchising Florida minority voters. Sucks to be black in Florida.


Loyalty Oaths, High School Style

October 26th, 2004

I don’t typically want to link to Daily Kos, figuring that pointing out one particular thing on it is like singling out a drop of water in the ocean of information, and that you should just be reading it daily without me telling you, but this story got my goat, mostly because it relates to [...]


Catalogue #2

October 25th, 2004

In a blatant rip-off of this catalogue that I linked a while back, here’s a look at the latest Banana Republican offering. It’s funny, but html is so sad, dudes. Take a cue from the flip-flop folks, you want some real layout control over the thing. PDFs are your friends.
