I bought myself a Wacom Graphire2 tablet for my birthday .. yeah me! … (which reminds me of the Crank Yankers skit with Special Ed, “Yeah! I get to bring two friends, Yeah!” - if you’ve seen it you’ll get it, otherwise it’s too much to explain … go see it for yourself here –> [...]

I thought I had blog’d about this previously, but having just watched the Video for “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” by Jason Mraz on VH1 this morning, I thought I’d share it with my loyal readership …
I bought his CD “Waiting for my Rocket to Come” after waking up on my birthday to the songs [...]

“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought [...]

FUD
<jargon> /fuhd/ An acronym invented by Gene Amdahl
after he left IBM to found his own company: “FUD is the
fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill
in the minds of potential customers who might be considering
[Amdahl] products.” The idea, of course, was to persuade them
to go with safe IBM gear rather than with competitors’
equipment. This [...]

Strange, while browsing other’s weblogs to get a feel for what other’s are feeling at the start of this war, I refreshed weblogs.com webpage and my recently updated listing disappeared… is someone removing voices of dissent from the listings? I’m seeing several blogs that appear to be coordinated by a possible Pro-War, Pro-Bush marketing department [...]

Bushie waited an hour and a half beyond his self determined deadline before beginning the war. I’m disgusted that this war is broadcast as if it’s entertainment, how many of us are tuned into our televisions at this moment waiting and watching for the first strikes? What a time we live in, what a sad [...]

Democrat - You believe that there should be a free
market which is reigned in by a modest state
beaurocracy. You think that capitalism has
some good things, but that those it helps
should be obliged to help out their fellow man
a little. Your historical role model is
Franklin Rosevelt.
Which political sterotype are you?

John Mellencamp’s latest To Washington is a little folksy, but it grows on you quicker than the Beastie Boy’s one I wrote about yesterday. Peace!

The Beastie Boys made their new single In A World Gone Mad, available for download along with publishing the lyrics.
Not their best work, but another set of voices to the world wide chorus against an unjustified war.

Now fess up, you know you were thinking it … the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines addressing a concert audience in Europe earlier this week, said “Just so you know, we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”
Of course, this isn’t sitting well with many of their W-supporting fans, which although vocal, might [...]

This whole War Mongering, French Bashing, U.N. Destroying business that the Bush Administration has embarked on has really made the USA look like a Dumb and Dumber outtake.
Now the ninny Republican’s are changing the names of food items on the cafeteria menu in the House office buildings. In protest I’ve decided to change the name [...]

I’ve been saying this for a while now, but never blog’d about it, as a former Born-Again Christian, I know from where this Bush Administration is coming. Using Bush’s own saying, “Make no mistake about it”, the Right-Wing Christian community in the United States has held the belief that the UN is a step toward [...]
