Main Stream Media

The problem with the media is not just that they suck, not just that they pander to the lowest common denominator, and not just they prize a pretty face above all other attributes.
The real problem is that they are proudly and aggressively stupid.  Witness this exchange with Dennis Kucinich:

Now, Kucinich is not exactly my cup […]

Damn! Creationists are Everywhere

And I was going to vote for this guy, too.  Yet another politician gets caught trying to make everybody happy and winds up upsetting everybody.
Why, John Tory, why?
Actually, I know why.  If you’re a complete ignoramus on the subject, then “teach the controversy” sounds quite sensible.  Both sides of the story and all that.

No, No, Never, No Way in Hell

Instructions

If you’re still conscious (or […]

The USSR is Dead

Don’t despair, though, because it’s being reconstructed in the US. Not just the torture, the secret prisons, the indefinite sentences…no. Now the US government is developing its paranoia to match Soviet capabilities.
They still have a lot of work to do, but they’ve shown that they have the determination to see the job through […]
