Minority Report in the Land of Obama

Like most of America, I waited with baited breath for the expiration of the infamous “First 100 days”, an arbitrary deadline during which we expect to measure the mettle of new presidents.
Although a few things were disturbing near the end of that time period, I (and most Americans, I think) gave him high marks for [...]

Two Hundred Sixty-Six

Over the weekend, new allegations have surfaced in connection with the treatment (or mistreatment) of terror “suspects”. Among them, the treatment of Abu Zubaydah, presumed Al-Qaeda operative, who was subjected to this treatment a shocking 83 times, and Khalid Sheikh Mohamed, confessed planner of the September 11th attacks, who was waterboarded a stunning [...]

It’s April Fool’s Day!

Ok, I haven’t done a political post in a while, largely because I felt I needed to back off a bit. I mean really, I felt as though I were on fire at times! Then my mom hinted that I was becoming a politician, to which I responded (truthfully, from my point of [...]

“Only the poor pay taxes…” ~Leona Helmsley

Let the guys in the green visors go at it: tax season is here. In the midst of it all, while most of us mere mortals are pulling our hair out, trying to get it right, no less than three (count them, THREE!) of the best minds for Obama’s administration have been caught, in [...]

Open-Letter to MySpace

Imagine this: my mother goes to check out my MySpace page because it’s connected to my Skype. She’s got a friend looking over her shoulder. Now they can only see some generic info about me, but at the bottom of the page is a listing a public profiles. One of those profiles has the picture of some woman, butt naked, playing with herself.

My mom about died of embarrassment.

American by Birth

(This is just a quick note. I hadn’t meant to comment on this, but it still irks me. Therefore do I have to comment.)
It never ceases to amaze me how sexist people really are. You’re surely heard all the debate about how Barack Obama isn’t a “natural born citizen” because his father is [...]

I Hate Walking Pt. 2 – Walking in Athens, GA

If you’ve been paying attention to my blog (in which case I really want to thank you, btw, this is exciting!), you’ll already know why I hate walking. The enterprise is particularly arduous in this southern, Georgian, university town. Mind you, the relatively small size of the town makes it a more [...]

I Reject Your Reality…

…and substitute my own.
Forget an Orwellian world, welcome to the Rovian world. This is a place where:

the Democrats are the ones who wanted to go to war in Iraq;
the war in Iraq was launched because of “faulty” intel, and “everyone” was bamboozled by said “faulty” intl
if Bush’s presidency was a failure, it’s because of [...]

Isn’t History Written by the Winner?

As the waning days of the Bush Jr. presidency roll on, there is a new project underway, designed to write the “history” of the last 8 years in the White House. I use the term history loosely, as you can imagine, considering Karl Rove is among the architects of the “Bush Legacy Project“. [...]

Cruelty to Children: The “Persecuted” Kindergarten Teacher

Have you heard about this? A 5 year-old kindergartener known to suffer from ADD and Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism, was kicked out of his classroom… after his teacher — his “TEACHER!“— asked his 16 classmates to tell him what they don’t like about him, then vote whether or not to let him rejoin [...]
