A Fascist Police State

Now with the same old stupidity underway this week in Denver, I’ve turned to DemocracyNow.org‘s coverage of the DNC. Aptly entitled “Breaking With Convention.” I say “aptly” simply because Amy & Co. are very busy reporting the other side. You’ll never find ANY of the stories featured there, since Monday at least, on mainstream television. And that does, in fact shatter the practice of modern journalism. Typical! Do yourself a favor and check it out…

Now I should state, before next week rolls around and it’s the Republican’s turn, I don’t think any better of the Republicans. Actually my thoughts concerning a “Neo-Conservative’s” racist, sexist and homophobic idea of “democracy” is worse. A lot worse.

But, to be fair both parties are contributing to the death of civilization and this planet in a shockingly similar way…

Until I Hear

Following the local news these days is much more appealing to me than watching a bunch of “liberals” give each other hand jobs in Denver. I don’t know about you…

That and I dare not forget to mention that and the Maple Leaf tainted meat recall has grown to just short of 250 some odd products? And my Grandfathers doctors still aren’t sure why he’s sick? With their efforts now concentrating on his stomach? Continue reading Until I Hear

I Can’t Believe It

OK, yesterday I wrote and posted a bit on racism. And how a television reporter might be guilty of being “insensitive,” at least by something he said “in passing.” But I wasn’t sure.

So in a moment of extreme uncertainty, I “panicked” and deleted it without actually thinking it through, relatively soon after posting it. For which I came to feel “guilty” over what I had done. Sure about what I wrote and not being entirely sure of my “footing,” but a lot more about deleting it. I’m not too sure of “proper blogging practices,” but deleting something, no matter how soon after posting would seem to me to be a “no-no.” 

Point being guilt is a powerful emotion. That’s probably why an American President’s hair is a lot more grey following leaving office, eh? Oh, and I’ve since reposted A Moment Of Racism? Continue reading I Can’t Believe It

A Moment Of Racism?

Originally appearing here and was subsequently yanked yesterday, Saturday August 23rd, 2008…

I was planning on taking it easy today. For whatever reason–I’ve a suspicion those two extra beers last evening didn’t contribute to my “fettered” motivation–what ya gonna do, not watch Dazed And Confused?

I know, shoulda known better than to watch CNN while trying to relax today. What’s done is done…

The big “news” was Barack Obama choosing Joe Biden as his running mate in his quest for the American Presidency. Interestingly it’s painfully compelling to watch the various idiots talk the shit out of a subject. But just before I had my fill John King–the dink who “broke” a story that any Democrat with a cell phone already knew–dropped what I assume is a moment of racism? Continue reading A Moment Of Racism?
