SCREW THIS- SCREW KADEMA- SCREW ISRAEL’S INSANE MURDEROUS WAR- a post-midnight update

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Folks, I've been trying to maintain my cool, for the past week. I've gone to painful lengths not to point fingers- but I'm done with that. I don't care if a few thin-skinned folks accuse me of being "anti-semitic" or whatever.

The title of this site says "Anti-War, Anti-Bush media, worldwide", and that means world-freaking-wide. (more...)

WHEN I STARTED THIS SITE…

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

I got a lot of e-mails, and the ones that still stick with me, over three years later, were the ones from all over the world, saying "gee- before I visited your site, I thought all of the people in the USA were as stupid as Bush and his supporters- I didn't know there was any dissent!" (more...)

NET NEUTRALITY, AND YOUTUBE.COM

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

As car bombings increase, One might wonder if the situation would be a tad different there, had Bush sent in enough troops to fully stabilize the country, before pissing all over Iraq? But hey- things are just peachy over there, as well...

The speaker of Iraq's parliament has compared the actions of the United states in Iraq to "The work of butchers", as insurgent attacks increase by a full 40%. The civil war is all but official, and the Iraqi police force finds itself incapable of stemming the increasing violence. (more...)

IT’S THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

It’s been a well-known online tactic for years- someone decides that they ain’t gettin’ the respect they feel they deserve in an particular community or forum, and they post thusly:

"I’m through with ya’ll- I’m outta here! Don’t try to stop me! I’m leaving- I swear! Don’t bother begging me to stay- because I ain’t listening- no sir! I’m walking out the door, right now! You’ll be sorry, when I’m gone! Just you watch! I’m… Leaving… NOW!” (more...)
