When Bush declared his "War on Terror", this is what he meant:

War on Iraq
War on the Middle East
War on the U.N.
War on National Security
War on our Military
War on America
War on the Media
War on Democracy
War on Freedom
War on Science
War on the Middle Class
War on the Poor
War on Women
War on Children
War on Humanity
War on Nature
War on Peace
War on Hope

Damn you Bush! You are the world's worst terrorist. You are a moral-pervert who hates freedom and loves tyranny. We'll see that smug face of yours behind bars one day.

The headline could also have been: Zarqawi retires, intends to spend more time with family.

Folks, it looks like the infamous Zarqawi has decided to retire. I know this story is a bit old, but I have to talk about it since I've been tracking this story:

Have you considered the possibility that you're mentally ill? If you're religious, I'm about to make the case that you are.

This has long been my thinking on the subject of Religion. That is why I take Karl Marx seriously and why I am pleased by the new book by Sam Harris - The End of Faith.

As an non-religious person, I see it as extremely important to keep summoning the spirit of freedom of mind and self-expression. That is why I made a point of writing blasphemy against Islam and Christianity on Democratic Underground. I did it in response to the Cartoon riots. I wasn't pleased with everything the cartoon provocateurs stood for, but I felt a duty to show solidarity with them. I was banned from DemocraticUnderground.com for this blasphemy and for following up by questioning the censorship policy there.

I wrote this a couple years ago but did not publish it, due to it's controversial nature. Now that Sam Harris and others have provided some cover and respectability for folks like me, it seems a fine time to share. It's a bit disjointed but I don't have time to improve the writing. I'll continue...

This I swear, by the blood of my every ancestor who ever fought and bled for justice, that George Walker Bush shall be tried as a war-criminal!

And whosoever should stand between Bush and we, who shall bring him to justice, shall be considered his accomplices.

Let no American give safe harbor and succor to this enemy of peace.

We shall restore honor to this great country by doing the one deed which can accomplish this worthy goal - the prosecution of the worst criminal of the new millenium!

Whether he be judged in five or ten years, or judged post-humously in fifty years, true Americans will not rest until justice is done!

I don't care if we have to exhume his foetid carcass from Arlington and rebury it in a Texas brownfield, this war criminal shall be judged by the good people of this earth!

I firmly believe that the 'Chilling' Al Qaeda Memo allegedly obtained by our government last october is FAKE.

I'm going to make the case that we're being deceived with forged Al Qaeda memos and audio statements.

I'm going to make the case that Zarqawi is not in charge of "Al Qaeda in Iraq" and that he is either dead or has been in our custody since before we ever heard of him and his "chilling" messages.

For the record, I do not believe the WTC towers were brought down with explosives, so don't assume I belong to the tinfoil hat club.

Some of what I wrote below was in response to the most recent audio message attributed to Osama Bin Laden by Bush's intelligence experts.

My thesis stands for this 13 page letter and for previous audio and text releases attributed to Zarqawi, Zawahiri and Bin Laden. Read More

I feel a strong impulse to let Cynthia McKinney know I support her. I don't trust the people who are accusing her. I trust Cynthia. I trust Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover too.

Here's a little background on the accusation that Cynthia McKinney made unsubstantiated accusations against Bush:

Communism in America Today

There is a Communist movement afoot in America today. I see them at protests I attend.

I was curious to see the state of modern American Communism, so I spoke to a humorless woman who carried a communist banner. I spoke to her about Karl Marx, whom I have a lot of respect for. My tempered and qualified appreciation for Marx was not enough to cut through the ice with this woman. She was a hardcore communist who would not agree to any criticism of totalitarian communist regimes.

The Epic Humiliation of Ben Domenech - A Cartoon

Whew! I put a lot of work into this one. Luckily I didn't try to animate it. I thought this was a very special Blog Swarm and I really enjoyed being a part of it. I did this to commemorate the success.

But I'd also like to say, I feel compassion for Ben Domenech, even though I've satirized him with this cartoon. I honestly think therapy would be a wise choice for him at this point.

Ben could choose to make this into a rite of passage, of sorts. If he learned not to be dishonest to himself and others, he could learn to be more open-minded.

If he falls back entirely on his enablers, he won't make any progress, and he'll only be more bitter. I hope he can learn from this.

So, Ben, if you happen to see this, keep in mind, you're young, you can change, and we will respect you a lot and you can laugh along with us if you can break out of the fascist cult you're caught in.

Currently, the corporate-media is spinning this as a story about plagiarism. Ben Domenech's biggest offense wasn't plagiarism, it was racism. He calls Coretta Scott King a communist on the day of her funeral. Then, he publishes something really disgusting.

Domenech publishes long excerpts of Richard John Neuhaus who, like Bill Bennet, carries on at length about "aborting black babies".

Helen Thomas makes Bush squirm!

At long last, Bush gave Helen Thomas a chance to ask him a question in a press conference. Helen asked him (I'm paraphrasing here) what was his real reason for attacking Iraq. As Bush responded, he became increasingly agitated, animated, shrill, and desperate.

His political demise seems imminent. I said it soon after the election of 2004, Bush wasn't going to last his full second term. Now I wonder, now that we've almost got him where we want him, do Kossacks think Bush should be tried under international law for war crimes? Please answer my poll below.

This film seems to be just what the doctor ordered. Badass, cool action-film that's cool enough for today's jaded, apathetic youth.

I haven't seen it yet, but I just felt compelled to join in the hype and get everyone pumped about seeing it. If James Wolcott gives it a good review, it has to be pretty intelligent.

We must come to grips with the fact that we won't get through this without having to throw rotten vegetables at the politicians and TV pundits.

It's a visceral expression of our defiance. We can throw rotten tomatoes and such. It will make them stink on the outside as much as they stink on the inside.

It's the classic way for public shame to be expressed. It is part of an old tradition. If we do it, it resonates with historical significance and familiarity as an expression of social conscience.
