On your knees, part II March 31, 2003
Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called ‘A Christian’s Duty,’ a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush.

Too…many…windows… March 31, 2003
I’ve been told I need to stop posting so much information on my site. Not wanting to cause any undue stress to any of my five loyal readers, I should probably resolve that henceforth, I shall no longer blog about anything other than my pets, what I ate for lunch each day, and the annoying things that my co-workers did today.

US priorities in Iraq March 30, 2003
Here’s a good visualization of just how much help the US is planning on giving the people of Iraq once the war is over. Hint — not much.

On your knees! March 28, 2003
Gee, it’s a good thing that I live in a country that’s filled to the brim with nothing but one hundred percent, across the board, no exceptions, God-fearing Christians. Because if I actually had the misfortune to live in some backwards heathen country that had the gall to admit all those poor souls doomed to everlasting hellfire and damnnation — because of their refusal to let the word of the One True God our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ into their lives — within the borders of the country, why, one or two of them might get a little upset that our Congress has created a government-mandated day of humility, prayer and fasting.

It all makes sense now March 28, 2003
Looks like some previously classified medical X-rays of Pres. Bush have been leaked. Somehow, the results aren’t very surprising.

Getting shot at wasn’t really that bad. It was the getting shot part that sucked.

Dean at Harvard March 27, 2003
Presidential candidate Howard Dean gave a talk at Harvard last night. He asked an interesting question. Next year, how will we feel when China invades Taiwan because they think they have weapons of mass destruction? Has the new Bush Doctrine, pre-emptive wars, unleashed a philosophy of world power that we may not be so comfortable with?

‘an historic’ vs. ‘a historic’ March 27, 2003
Ever been unsure about the distinction between ‘an historic’ and ‘a historic’? The question came up in a thread here recently and I did some investigating.

The truth? We can’t handle the truth! March 27, 2003
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.

Al-Qaeda type? March 26, 2003
Gary Trudeau has been doing this for years and he can still make me laugh with his take on situations.

No substitute March 26, 2003
Well, here’s something that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone with a modicum of intelligence — spell- and grammar-checking software doesn’t always help, and can often hinder good writing.

A brit’s view of Seattle March 25, 2003
There’s a very interesting article in this week’s Seattle Weekly from Jonathan Raban, a british author who’s been living in Seattle since 1990. In a letter back to Britain that was originally published in The Guardian, he does a really good job of outlining where Seattle sits politically and economically, especially in contrast to how the U.S. in general is presented to the world. Then, towards the end, he mentions a certain up and coming political candidate that is rapidly gaining notice, and suggests that this might be the man to watch in the upcoming months…

More rumblings from Korea March 25, 2003
We really shouldn’t forget that in the midst of bombing Iraq back to the stone age, we’ve also got a fairly dicey situation over in Korea at the moment. A situation that looks to be getting worse, too, since Korea just cut off contact with the U.N. due to U.S. arrogance.

Take Back America March 25, 2003
I found this article today thanks to Dori Smith. I think it’s one of those articles that really should be read by anyone concerned about the political state of our nation today, and since the author has been kind enough to grant reproduction rights, I’m reprinting it here.

What is TrackBack? March 25, 2003
I’ve tried to explain TrackBack in the past when asked, though I’ve never been too sure how well I did. Handily enough, I don’t have to try anymore, as Ben and Mena Trott — the creators of MovableType — have written A Beginner’s Guide to TrackBack. Good stuff!

What the US media won’t report March 25, 2003
Impressed by the US media’s war coverage so far? You probably shouldn’t be. The Asia Times has a good look at what kind of news the rest of the world sees.

I’m a terrorist! March 24, 2003
Or rather, if I lived in Oregon and participated in a peace demonstration, I could be branded a terrorist and face life imprisonment if this legislation goes through.
