Welcome to my little corner of the WWW. There's not a whole
lot here right now, just a few links and stuff I find
interesting. I also will be posting some of my own writings and
rantings.
The music you hear is "Revolution" by the Beatles; appropriate because
now that the Bush junta has just overthrown our democratic form of
government, it is time to take it back from the thieves who stole it
from us in broad daylight! Time to stand up to them and resist
them! Never, ever give them the legitimacy they so desperately
crave!
Some of the places I like to visit on the WWW:
A couple of sites about Florida and the "election" of 2000:
Florida Follies - Information and Opinion Sources Another excellent site about what happened in Florida with a list of sources and FAQs everyone should read and learn. Democracy was murdered there on November 7th, 2000 and we must never forget that
Failure
Is Impossible A site put together by the author of the above site, MECowan,
who is a TT regular and has been following this "election" debacle very
closely. This site has more information on the growing anti-Bush
movement, the theft of the election, how to contact your
representatives in Congress, etc.
Citizens for Legitimate Government Another group organized to stand up to the Bush coup. They did a flyover at the Rose Bowl.
FringeFolk George Bush calls us a bunch of "Fringe People" because we dared register our displeasure at his coronation.
MediaWhoresOnline
As if that's not enough, here's a site dedicated to exposing the whores
in the corporate media for their role in the Coup of 2000.
American Politics Journal. A
political e-zine with lots of commentary, cartoons, etc. Good
reading material here!
Salon Magazine. Another
fine political/progressive e-zine and home of Table Talk.
Definitely worth the visit.
Eschaton and Tbogg. These two are
well-known, popular blogs from current and former TTers (Atrios still
posts there, Tboggioni no longer has the time), both of whom have
earned my admiration and respect for their perspectives and tenacity.
The George Bush Store.
Go here to buy anti-Bush t-shirts and stuff. This site asks the
question (tongue planted firmly in cheek, I assure you), "Is George W.
Bush the Antichrist?" Check the site out for yourself
Why
I Believe
George W. Bush Is Not a Christian. Is George Walker Bush a
Christian? Read this and decide for yourself. This is a
revised version of this essay
which I wrote in 2001.
A Generic Rant Form Need to stop a mine or toxic waste dump or whatever. Use this convenient fill-in-the-blank form.
Fairbanksans
Protest the Coup! Report (text and pictures) of the
counter-inaugural protest in Fairbanks on January 20th, 2001.
The
Dumb Chimp. If you're old enough to remember Monty Python, then you'll
get a kick out of this one. It is a take-off on the infamous Dead
Parrot sketch done so brilliantly by John Cleese and Michael Palin.
This one is "updated" for the 21st Century, with the Chimperor in
mind.
Election
Reports Thread This is a thread about reports from Ground Zero
where people could report on what was happening in their towns,
precincts, states, etc. In hindsight, much of what was written on
this
thread turned out to be spot on. I just wish people had listened.
Diagnosing
Dubya Thread. This is a thread I created in April of 2003
about the various psychological maladies that afflict the Great
Leader. There are some very interesting and perceptive posts and
links here.
Attack of the Burma Shavers Burma Shave-type slogans and verse about the election of 2000.
A
Thread About W's Religion This is a thread about the issue of
whether George Bush really is a Christian.
The "What Do We Call Dubya" Thread. This is a thread from 2001 about what we should call George Walker Bush. Some of the various nicknames, epithets, put-downs, etc. are funny and spot-on. Worth the read!
A Very Prescient Thread About George Bush Remember the incident a year before the election when a reporter put Bush on the spot by asking him who the leaders of four different countries were? This is a thread about that incident and its ramifications (Junior failed miserably, if you recall). Some of the people who posted on this thread were eerily prescient in what they said about Bush and the election, as subsequent events showed.
A "What-If"
Thread:
One Candidate Gets the PV And The Other Gets the EV As the title
suggests. This thread discussed that possibility and there are
some very perceptive, cogent posts here about the election, strategies
each campaign might undertake if this actually happened, etc.
Worth reading.
