End of Silence

I just got an e-mail from APC’s fan list about the news item that I posted earlier. You can go here or read more to see the e-mail and watch the fun. The e-mail that I’ve posted here includes a Windows Media format that doesn’t show up on the page on their site for some [...]

From MTV News:
A Perfect Circle plan to release a collection of songs on Election Day about war, peace, love and greed. eMOTIVe will feature new material as well as covers of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” and Fear’s “Let’s Have a War.” One of the new songs, “Counting Bodies Like Sheep to [...]

I’m so pissed off at the way the media is churning the swift boat issue over and over this past week or so. Josh Marshall has a lot of good stuff about it as usual along with the guys at Pandagon. Jon Stewart had the ultimate comment last night, though. I need to find a [...]

The misapplication of security policies by troglodytes is resulting in the kind of climate that Orwell and [...]
