Googlebombing the Election

October 24th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Politics |

As per the suggestion on MyDD. Running a blog? Do your part and post the list too.

Having grown up in Ohio, I still take interest to the goings on out there. This electoral season is needless to say an interesting one, as sixteen or so years of near-total Republican control over state politics seems to be drawing to a close.

Which brings me to a trip to Fantasyland.

The Dead Zone

October 4th, 2006 | 1 Comment | Politics |

Where fiction meets reality. Even though I’m pretty politically inclined myself I try to not go deeply into it here because it’s not my main point. But this is too over the top to leave alone.

Electronic Voting Revealed

September 18th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Politics, Tech Stuff |

This is in many ways the scariest story of the year. The problem of insecure electronic voting machines has long been dismissed as the ravings of the tin-foil hat crowd; but it is going to be huge in the next few weeks, as RFK Jr.’s lawsuit proceeds and these new findings by computer scientists at Princeton gain an audience. Now even Fox News has run a story on it. Stay tuned.

I picked up a copy of John Dean’s book, “Conservatives Without Conscience.” A lot of political books have come through my house the last few years, but this is definitely one of the scariest.

Talking Across The Divide

September 8th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Politics |

This week’s fracas over ABC’s mockumentary, “The Path To 9/11,” has brought a lot of strange creatures into the daylight. Over at MOL the obsessive behavior of the local right-wingers has us on the left just kind of staring slack-jawed at them. Just when we’re really scratching our heads wondering “how can they believe this [...]

No More Slogans

It’s almost as though back in school, while the rest of us were reading “1984″ and thinking how terrible it could be, there was this whole group of people who were thinking “yeah, this could work!”

Jaded

August 15th, 2006 | 2 Comments | Politics |

Jaded is a new blog by Anthony Cartouche (not his real name), sharing editorial responsibility with bram_jafuv (not only is that not his real name, I have no idea who he actually is.)

The writing shows signs of being more hard-hitting than before. See bram’s post on the brand-spanking new diagnosis of “personality disorder,” a more cost-effective diagnosis than “post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Blog Roundup

August 13th, 2006 | 2 Comments | Politics |

A couple of blogs I ran across are worth noting. Kung Fu Monkey combines a left-wing political point of view I favor, along with varied sentence structure and a smattering of obscenity, into the kind of mix I favor. The author is a stand-up comedian as well as a screenwriter, and has a physics degree [...]
