Off comes the toga and I spy the beginning of the end.

Brownie "heckuvajob" fumbles for an excuse in front of a rabid REPUBLICAN committee. Then word hits the street that he's still getting paid by FEMA to... consult. Who in their right mind would take advice from this man, more or less continue to pay him for it? Read More

Last night was my first vigil, my first protest, my first bodily representation of my beliefs.

It was incredible.

I live in a small(ish) suburb of Boulder Colorado... Longmont. My friends call it Longtucky... you get the idea.

There were, by my GUESS, between 70-80 people there, and another group three blocks up the street from us. Read More

This is going to be short and sweet because I'm just out of outrage at the moment.

Thanks to Jay Leno for catching this, to Suburban Guerrilla for sending it along.

This is nothing short of a complete lack of respect for his own position, for the media (who eat out of his hand, mind you), and for you, America.

He's flipping you off.

Watch this. Read More

It's 2:11 in Colorado. Not one person has said one word to me today about the attacks in London.
Not one.
And my office fluctuates daily between pretty empty or pretty full of people. Today, it was pretty full... nearly everyone's been in at some point today and not ONE of them has said a word. Read More

What follows is an email that was forwarded to me this morning. It's not new, I'm sure I've read it before... but something about reading it today set me off. First up- the original email. What follows is my response.

This full page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a businessman
named George J. Esseff, Sr. He paid $104,655.60 to run the ad and
only did it because he is sick and tired of the way that "The Rich"
Are portrayed by liberals these days. It is a great read! Read More

Remember the election cycle? All KINDS of rhetoric about "A vote for Kerry is a vote for terrorism; that's exactly what terrorists want"? And, and, and, remember all this, we're spreading democracy throughout the middle east, OUR actions will make the world a safer place.

Not so much.

First, two French reporters who were held hostage in Iraq were given the opportunity to interview thier captors prior to their escape. You know what they found out? Exactly the opposite was true. The terrorists WANTED George re-elected, knowing that he would never back down in Iraq, knowing that he would "radicalize" the Iraqi's.

The cell leader trained with terror leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and told them the insurgents supported a Bush presidency because they believed it meant that "there will be confrontation, occupation and radicalization of the Iraqi people," Malbrunot said.

Ya know, before the world turned upside down and truth was truth and lies were just that, outright lies? Pine away for those times friends, they no longer exsist.

I'm not sure when this happened, I'm guessing either yesterday or last night, based on the shit storm that's brewing today.

Because in my book, downplayed does not equal LIED.

CNN is running a story with the headline

White House official downplayed warming data

When you click on the link, the headline changes to

U.S. official EDITED warming, emission link

At least that is a step toward the TRUTH.

Amnesty International's 2005 Annual Report is out today.

The United States of America FAILED, miserably I might add, to follow any international rules of law.

Shocker, I know. But this is serious.

It's not ok that we still have hundreds of 'detainees' in a prison in Cuba that have been there for YEARS, without being charged with a crime, allowed to see a lawer, are being tortured and photographed.
Furthermore, it's not only not ok, it is ILLEGAL. Read More

Happy Monday, indeed.
England has long had better, and more strict disclosure laws about Genetically Modified (GM) foods. They require all GM foods to be labeled as such (far as I know, anyway)

America has put no such restrictions in place. Again, as far as I know, you are eating GM corn in your store-bought taco shells (I'm so glad I fry my own).

This study, released today gives GREAT PAUSE in the GM hype. These foods, as it turns out, really aren't OK to eat. More study is needed, indeed, but are you willing to take this risk? Read More

This just breaks my heart. Three sisters, 12,14, and 16 have all had a baby in the last year. What does their mother have to say about it?

Their mother Julie Atkins, 38, who said the girls were too young and had ruined their lives, blamed schools for providing poor quality sex education.

How did this happen. How can three young girls have found themselves in this situation?
It happens EVERY DAY when young women, AND men, are not given the information they need, as young adults, to make better choices.

Jemma was first to give birth, to T-Jay in February last year, and weeks later Jade and Natasha discovered they were pregnant.

Natasha had daughter Amani in November and Jade followed with Lita in December. The younger sisters are still at school.

No, it's not the newest water park down the street.

No, it's not the latest surfing hot spot.

Portugal will get the world's first 'wave farm' in 2006.

What is a wave farm, you ask? A hell of a good idea.
A wave farm uses natural wave undulation to generate electricity. 400 foot long cylinders that float off shore use the up, down and sideways sloshing of the ocean to pump high pressure fluids into hydraulic motors that, in turn, produce energy in generators. Read More
