Good.

I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I sure do. A solid majority says it's good for the country that the Democratic Party is in control of Congress. Even though they're doing a lousy job? Yes. People think, OK, the Democrats aren't so great. But the Republicans are worse. Just a bare majority of Americans now holds a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party (51 percent). But only 36 percent like the Republicans. That's the Republican Party's second-lowest rating in 15 years. Again,...

According to PoliticalRoads. Thanks to Lew, whose blog reports that Ron cleaned the other Republicans' clocks tonight in Iowa. Go Ron!

Awzgheaahh. That according to Tom Sumner, editor of Special Plans: The Blogs on Douglas Feith and the Faulty Intelligence That Led to War. Not too shabby, eh?

Hi friends, I just got a small interview with Uri Avnery.  Check it out and take a look at the Gush Shalom brochure he mentions. I hope that this article and interview will make a difference in the mind of those who are used blame "the Jews" for what the Neocons do. (I also have a Hezbollah rep in Iran interviewed on my blog (but obvisouly not be me) I am working on some more interviews.  I will keep you posted. Have a great week-end folks! PS: did Scott do a show on Friday?!  Where is the...

Oh, how easy it was to promote a war in those jingoistic days of yore (2001-2003). Here's the ABC News opening theme song to the yet unnamed Gulf War II.  If that's not enough, right below it is the CBS News more aggressive and arabesque theme song. Last and least is the NBC News theme. RPG's and IED'S await! Hoo-ah!

It always seems to start with, of all things, an inability to properly set prices...

You've got me agreeing with the Austin Chronicle's Louis Black. Thanks a lot, jerks.

This is what I actually wrote for the Oxford Forum before they deleted and rewrote it beyond recognition. Thanks to Matt Barganier.

James Wolcott called it the "Ship of Ghouls," sounds about right to me.

I gotta get a wisdom tooth yanked. Hopefully I will get to keep the wisdom part.

I have been increasingly amazed, appalled, and amused by self-described "libertarians" using proprietary (and, thus, non-free) software.  I also was baffled by Ron Paul saying that there is nothing wrong with Bill Gates and how he made money (as if good old Bill had become rich by creative genius and free market competition).  That was the only truly silly statement I have heard Ron Paul made ever since I start following him (-: I still send him some money though 🙂 Since I have referred to...

First, there is this absolutely must read piece on TomDispatch about the Iraq surge in numbers. Then, who ever thought the Neocons are smart and have some sophisticated "hidden" policy at work in the Middle-East?!  Look - they are so friggin stupid they even sabotage their own policies. You did not think that the bloody chaos in Iraq could get any worse?  Yes, it can! The Turkish military is openly advocating for an invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan. I am telling you - Neocons are plain stupid.  As...

It seems to me and apparently these guys. I'm certain Matt agrees.
