Internet Crossroads (*very* important!)

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Today seemed like a giant April Fool’s Joke played on the American people by the federal government.

The US House of Representatives voted down an amendment to protect net neutrality. (More…)
An appeals court ruled that the FCC has the power to order broadband internet companies to make their networks wiretap friendly for law enforcement. (More…)
The NSA […]

Amend This

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

President Bush (having failed in Iraq, responsible fiscal policy, saving Social Security, lowering prescription medication costs, and nearly every other campaign promise) reinvigorated his commitment to discrimination. Debate over a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman will resume this week, even though 2/3rds of Congress will never […]

Today: I’m the decider and I decide what’s best. (Source: AP)
President George W. Bush wants the American people to know that he’s the one who decided to entangle us, indebt […]

The Breeze of Flip-Flops

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

More Massachusetts Flip-Flopping Department: Democrat Senator Kennedy opposes his own position on clean energy… when it might be come to his neighborhood. (more)
Neighborhoods all over the country should be so lucky as to even have a proposal for a wind farm. The spoiled brat won’t have a house with a view of the ocean at […]

Global Dimming

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

NOVA sent chills over my body tonight. Global dimming is another major problem associated with burning fossil fuels. The visible pollutants of fossil fuel emissions get caught in the atmosphere and reflect sunlight before it gets to the earth’s surface. The result is a cooling of the earth.
Sounds good, especially with global […]

Why I’m not buying from iTunes

Monday, February 20th, 2006

(or any other music store) anymore. Or at least, having a hard time doing so when I can’t pirate the song or get a used CD.
As I am working on my directed study, honors senior thesis project, and taking Studies in Digital Culture, the issue of media control is ever present. I can […]

Book of Daniel

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Oh, by the way, James Dobson can suck it. Perhaps half the country wouldn’t hate Christians if they weren’t so afraid to have intelligent discussions instead of mindlessly believing everything they are told by self-promoting leaders. Just a thought from one Christian to another.

We All Scream

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin may want to rebuild a chocolate city but vanilla is the preferred flavor of America. Why can’t we all meet over some some Neapolitan and be inclusive of the Native Americans too?

Fool Me Once

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

This is the final straw.
I’m not sure if I am more upset that I was wrong in my own analysis of Iraq or that the US federal government is so far removed from the people it represents and shows no sign of changing.

Be Imperialist Today

Monday, October 10th, 2005

In support of the federally approved Columbus Day, I urge you to enjoy the privileges of the man that started American Imperialism. Thank you Mr. Columbus for this fine day off from school.
My suggested observances:

Use a Microsoft product.
Buy clothing made in a third-world country.
Buy a CD or DVD.
Discriminate against the poor man.
Hate a minority […]
