WELCOME TO

LETTERMAN'S LAIR
A NO-SHRUB ZONE
ON THE WWW!

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!
 

PSST!  WANNA KNOW A SECRET?
George W. Bush is not the legitimate President of the United States!
(Don't tell him!  He doesn't like bad news!)
Fight the Power!
Join the Resistance!

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.



TableTalk A great little corner of the WWW where progressives, Dems, a few Greens, and everyone in between can all get together and talk about all kinds of stuff.  I have been part of TableTalk for a little over five years.  I post mostly in the White House folder there, though I do occasionally post (and read) in other folders.  I post under the handle "LetterMan".

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



Here are some of my writings:

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.

The Constitutional 'Murkan.  My take on the "Constitutional Peasant" scene in "The Holy Grail"

The Free Republic National Anthem.  The mindset of  the denizens of Freerepublic.com, in song (with apologies to Ozzy!)

He Ain't Wimpy.  An Ode to People-Powered Howard in song (with apologies to the Hollies)

Reflections on A Year of War.  My thoughts and feelings on the looming 1-year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war


Archived TableTalk Threads:  These are various threads I downloaded off of TableTalk's archives.  These are all rather large files (the smallest is around 230K, the largest 883K) and will take a bit to download, but they are worth it.  Note: some of the links in these files are outdated and/or do not work (e.g., none of the TT-specific links work).

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.
