On a whim, I wrote my first letter to a senator tonight. Thought it would be more useful than attending an anti-war protest where everyone else already agrees with you. I’ve grown somewhat tired of the war coverage so I’m gonna try to stop blogging about it. That monkey is going down in 2004. Picked … …
Bush stated in his press conference, We, of course, are consulting with our allies at the United Nations. But I meant what I said, this is the last phase of diplomacy. Diplomacy is defined as “the art and practice of conducting negotiations between nations,” but I am certainly having a hard time seeing any negotiating … …
U.S. Says Hussein Must Cede Power to Head Off War. The White House said today that the only way to prevent war in Iraq would be to disarm the country and depose Saddam Hussein. Desperate for war, Bush changes the rules. Wanker. Turkish Deputies Refuse to Accept G.I.’s in Blow to Bush. The Turkish Parliament … …
Rather: White House Request Not Its Best. Disappointed that I had missed the Saddam Hussein interview earlier this week, I was happy to find the content on the CBS site the following day. I would recommend reading the summary instead of the transcripts. I found it amusing that the White House offered up Ari Fleischer … …

Is there any way the pending war cannot end badly? In addition to the handful of American casualties (more likely to occur as a result of friendly fire and accidents than enemy combat IMO), thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians will lose their lives or homes. With our economy already hobbled, the government will spend billions … …
White House Patriotism Comes With a Price Tag. The Executive Office of the President blew $23k of taxpayer money on flag pins to boost national resolve. Warnings trigger a run on disaster supplies. Y2K-style panic is trendy again. Anti-War Leader Launches Campaign to Impeach Bush. Small chance that the local axis of evil (Bush, Rumsfeld, … …
Britain Admits That Much of Its Report on Iraq Came From Magazines. Dunno how I missed this in the weekend paper, but I just noticed this on cryptome. Utterly disturbing considering how badly these clowns are trying to drag us into war.
Cop Watchers Beware. More alleged police brutality in New York. How did this not make the news a few months ago…? America, From Ally to ‘World’s Biggest Terrorist State’. Protesters in Turkey call the US a terrorist state. The rest of the world is pissed off at America lately, and it is no great surprise. … …
