Wow. I’ve read the piece in question, and it is beyond insane. Continue reading →

Remember when I suggested you send a video to TPC?

11 May

Well, they posted the final result while I was busy with the ICU. Anyway, if you go here (YouTube) or here (TPC site) or here (@ZenShadow‘s blog) you can see that result. If you watch long enough, you might see a familiar face or two.

A Tale of Two Joes

4 May

Senator Joe Lieberman
US senator: No US citizenship rights for terrorists – Yahoo! News.

And I thought Joe McCarthy was bad. McCarthy just wanted to arrest and imprison Communists.
