My future as a pariah

Okay, probably everyone on Moveon’s mailing list (and I think that’s everyone) has gotten one of these emails (I got three) with a customized video, but what the heck, I’ll pass it on anyway. I thought it was pretty funny, but then, I’m still half asleep. Seriously, though, if I’d voted it would have been […]

Friday Night Music-RNC edition

Yet another great Robert Greenwald film: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KjsEs46C70[/youtube] It is an amazing thing that an entire nation would feel it necessary to collectively agree that being a former POW is a plus for a presidential candidate. Isn’t a person with that history far more likely to have emotional scars that would make him or her less […]
