The War on Error 6 Aug 2013 | 09:34 pm
Anyone who thinks history is in the past should think harder. Yesterday was the 68th anniversary of Hiroshima and if you want to read the Ourmani party line, it’s all here and in the links and commen...
Before the fireworks 4 Aug 2013 | 10:01 pm
I had written a long rant about the surveillance state and why even folk who don’t know their Snowdens from their Starbucks should still give a damn (and Gitmo, Manning and drones and terrorism horses...
It’s up to you 25 Jul 2013 | 06:43 am
I’ll keep this brief. I don’t do many posts begging for money, and this ain’t for me or for charity. It is a plea to consider helping fund a pal of mine’s Kickstarter project right here. He is plannin...

ANCIENT HISTORY 5 Jul 2013 | 09:24 pm
Looks like I’ve been blown off by Ambassador Roos. He hasn’t seen fit to respond to my letter I tweeted to him the other day, but he hasn’t blocked me and is still following me on Twitter, so that’s s...
PLAY THE GAME? 29 Jun 2013 | 10:33 pm
So many things to say about the surveillance state, but I couldn’t put it better than Scahill and Greenwald, so I’ll leave it to them. I can’t recommend the vid above highly enough if you have any int...
NOTHING TO HIDE 2020 25 Jun 2013 | 10:21 pm
“We don’t have anything really big on him, yet. He once wrote a disparaging letter to the US Ambassador to Japan.” “Kardashian?” “No, the one before, Roos.” “Roos? Never heard of her. You can’t fin...
