Though slightly less chuckle-worthy after just watching Ken Burns' film about World War II, I just rediscovered this little tidbit I tossed off as part of the "Community Calendar" section of this year's April Fool's issue of The Pulse: “The Diary...
Liberty is not for these slaves; I do not advocate inflicting it against their conscience. On the contrary, I am strongly in favor of letting them crawl and grovel all they please before whatever fraud or combination of frauds they...
Not another warning about war with Iran! Well, suck it up. President George W. Bush's speech Tuesday makes clear his plan to attack Iran, and how the intelligence, as was the case before the attack on Iraq, is being "fixed...
Unless you ask the right question, you’ll never get an answer that’s worth a damn. Failure to use such common sense is on prominent display in the debate over the pros and cons of publicly financed elections. We’re always asked whether...
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” - George W Bush Much in the same way that US investors were...
In recent news reports, US Representative Don Young of Alaska has been accused of securing $10 million to help build a highway offramp in Florida — a project that would increase the value of several thousand acres of land owned...

Dennis Kucinich rarely gets much airtime in Democratic presidential debates. That was underscored recently when ABC’s George Stephanopoulos called on him in an Iowa forum to talk about God. Kucinich said, “George, I’ve been standing here for the last 45...
Dr Paul Moller seems to think he has solved the problem. "It is the M 200G, otherwise known as a "flying saucer", which is being built by a company in Davis, California called Moller International. Go to BBC News for...
Recently I decided to subscribe to the magazine "Every Day with Rachael Ray". I found my first issue in my mailbox today amongst several offers for credit cards and to refinance my mortgage at a lower rate. I...
So tonight we were all sitting in the living room and I made some kind of comment about how much the baby was moving. I didn't realize Jaron was paying any attention to me (he is really good at...
More War on the Horizon By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS No pullout from Iraq while I'm president, declares George W. Bush. On to Iran, declares Vice President Cheney. Israel is a "peace-seeking state" that needs $30 billion of US taxpayers' money for war, declares State...
Pinsky has been here for five days now, and I am realizing just how unusual and ridiculous our experiences with Whittier have been. Pinsky’s approach to life and social integration could not be more different than Whittier’s.
Consider:
When Whittier first arrived...
Bush, al-Maliki and the Press When I look at the Bush administration's actions in Iraq, I can't help but be reminded of a scene from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Consider the parallels, for example, in the classic...
I work for a trucking company in Chattanooga and this week we celebrate Driver Appreciation Week , from what I understand it is not just the company that I work for that does this . But we have lunch and snacks...
Today's front-page headline gives it all away. But first, let's back up. 1. Questions concerning City Council member Marti Rutherford's residence arose anew sometime in the middle of last week, after local talk radio host Robert T. Nash brought up...
Dahr Jamail, unembedded independent journalist, discusses the absolute humanitarian catastrophe that the U.S. has created in Iraq, the fact that all the propaganda about the surge is "working," is a bunch of lies, Dahr measures the fate of Nouri al-Malaki's...
The 9/11 attacks brought to the surface a dilemma that everyone, especially libertarians, must now confront: whether to choose a pro-empire, pro-intervention foreign policy or a free society. No one can deny that we now live in a country in which...
I have a new obsession: sports talk radio. It's my friend Steve's fault. I was listening to ESPN radio the other day and the host (Colin Cowherd) was making the point that the NFL is perfect for the American context...
A letter surfaced today from embattled Councilwoman Marti Rutherford to the man who owns the house in which she rents a room and thus supposedly gains "resident" status in District 6. The handwritten note thanks Rusty Scott for his...
Well, it's been a busy week and I haven't been keeping up with things very well around here. Last week I mentioned a bit of chaos in the back yard, but never got around to the story. To keep it...
An anonymous source has sent to WGOW News Talk 102.3 a copy of a letter supposedly sent by City Councilwoman Marti Rutherford to Rusty Scott, the man whom she has said is the landlord of the residence she has on...
If we can’t answer it, it isn’t worth knowing. The idea for this blog entry comes from an AIGA50 meeting I was asked to sit in on a couple weeks ago. The meeting was an informal breakfast where designers could get...
Now it's a rich dentist in Florida who's saying she doesn't have to pay taxes because... she isn't a US citizen. Apparently getting a valid passport is simply a bureaucratic convenience and doesn't actually indicate citizenship. Also, writing...
