controversy yet again

finally, reason shines its golden light on the electorate! this will probably be the most critical, nationally important issue debated tonight...

debates

well, i WAS getting excited about watching kerry and georgie debate, but the fine folks at Open Debates (and NOW with Bill Moyers on PBS) have shown me that they'll have about as much impact on the election as, say, a quart of bacon grease... according to them, it's all gone downhill since the League of Women Voters stopped sponsoring the event...

jeanne

the atlantic seems to be pounding my hometown (Albany, GA - raised in Savannah) to a disastrous pulp, creating a mess of GOP magnitude...

serves 'em right for putting Zell Miller into office.

really wild world

thank god they didn't let this dangerous heathen back into the good ole US of A... he might have sang "morning has broken" again, which obviously would promote wide-ranging terrorist attacks in hippie communes across the nation...

i think his website also claims responsibility for the recent brutal beheading of an innocent bag of granola... i downloaded the video offa Kazaa... disturbing...

pishaw

i wonder if bush knows how ridiculous he sounds when he stands up in front of the world and speaks of justice and dignity.

probably not.

our triumphant return

greetings again, folks - alas, once more from reno... san francisco was its usual giddy self, full of playful energy and audaciousness... thanks to everyone there who made the trip worthwhile... photos to come soon (i'm sure) on stef's website...

two purchases this trip which deserve mention: a special edition release of leni reifenstahl's "triumph of the will" on DVD (finally with ENGLISH subtitles), and a new bumper sticker - "Bush/Cheney 2004 - We're Gooder!".

i expect both items to ruffle more than a few feathers in this backwater burgh...

yes, another vacation

well kids, i'm off to Santa Cruz/San Francisco again for another six day vacation... happy birthday to my beautiful wife Stef on Wednesday, happy first birthday Ute!, and pre-congratulations to Esteban and Heidi for their wedding this Saturday in SF...

i leave you now to your own devices, or the devices of your loved ones, whichever is more pleasurable...

be good, little piggies.

sure, but can it cure a leper?

coalition of the (mostly) willing

costa rica's highest court decided today that their country should be removed from the "coalition of the willing", and is preparing a formal letter to the US requesting so, much to the apparent relief of the majority of their pacifist country... makes me wonder exactly how many other of the 49 countries that supposedly drank the Kool-Aid merely agreed with the US that terrorism and dictatorships were not nice things, and who suddenly found themselves part of a "coalition".

get it right

perhaps all this is just a universal kick in the ass directed squarely at Florida for fucking up the last election...

straight outta Fight Club

i guess this would require some rather delicate explaining...

cabaret punk stars love my daughter

so my daughter loves the Dresden Dolls... seriously LOVES them...

and they evidently love her too.

(thanks, amanda)

just too much

ah, the sweet, sweet irony...
