Horse whisperer of the Apocalypse
War. The word conjures up images of horrors best left to the attic of history. Yet mankind continues to resort to this brutal barbaric practice. We run from the reality of war into the fake patriotic vitriol that we are told is to make us one nation. One people, the fear of others is xenophobia; it...

Mushrooms in the Iranian Desert
We are told that Iran remains a serious threat. The question we are not told is why is Iran a threat. Certainly the notion of Iran possessing the technology to build an inhouse nucleur bomb is a real fear. Nor, can we overlook the torrid history of modern Iranian- American relations. 444 the number...

Immigrant nation
Who belongs and who gets booted out. Now that America has run out of inexhaustible room to spread its wings the ranting gets louder. Immigrants are taking our jobs, ruining our way of life. The very fact that we are all immigrants from other places is lost on some. Necks that glow in the dark and...

We can't stop terrorism
We can't stop terrorism. We can't even slow it down. Not now, and likely not ever. Why? Because in simplest terms we can't be gracious enough. We can't be kind enough and we have not learned how to share. Ever. We horde, covet and manipulate. We pray to jesus but act like the thief of the night. We...

Chaney is a communist
Dick Chaney uses the word revisionism like he was Josef Stalin. The kafkaesque adultration of the historical record currently underway by the Bush Whitehouse is something that no American can ever let go unchallenged. It's perposterous in the extreme to even suggest that those who question the US...

Their blood is on my hands! I can feel it corse through my fingers and drip silently onto the floor. I can taste it on my tongue and smell it's acrid aroma. The dead are everywhere, in flood ravaged places and jolted by the protesting earth. They wear olive green and tattered rags, they are our...

USA RIP
Have you ever faced death? Did it scare you? Liberate you? intoxicate you? Make you run, scream and shout. Life is never perfect. I have watched those I love dye, something changes when you stare into eyes that once held life and se them fade out. Politically the United States is fading out. The...

News Flash
News. What is your impression of that word? If you are like many of us; most of us, then your framework for how you view that word was forged every night at 6 O’clock. For some of us in the blogosphere, the news and those who brought it to us encouraged us to write. Whether you get your news from...

Comfy Bigots
“Comfortable with their bigotry” This is a very graceful turn of phrase. I first made its acquaintance in a column called Official Bigotry by Andrew Stelzer available here <a href=http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/2301/> The evidence that we adopt bigotry and wear it like a cardigan or...

Rising Water, Deliberate Panic!
Now do we believe! Is it a capacity that needs such horrible devastation to awaken, or are we just struck dumb? The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has done more than reveal the dangers of New Orleans. It has done more than ruin lives and smash dykes. Hurricane Katrina has shown that the US is...
