June 30, 2006

And sometimes, my esteemed and faithful readers, the system works:
     The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees. 
     The ruling, a strong rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and international Geneva conventions.
     A few extra, illegally fired firecrackers might be in order this Tuesday...

Skeptics should not focus only on superstition, pseudoscience, and the supernatural. The ultimate skeptical challenge is not weird things but insidiously mundane ones.

There's a lot of hype about this video on the web, concerning the future of the media.

Next time you watch the Tony Snow Show - that is, the White House Press Briefing - notice the White House emblem behind him. Tony's head perfectly obscures the "hite" in White, so that 99.5 percent of the time the inscription says, The W   House.
___

It was a brilliant move, really: goose up the national fear level by adding young, impoverished, black men into the terrorist profile. The arrest of the Miami Seven did exactly that. 
     The men were in a religious group called the Seas of David that appeared to mix Christian and Muslim beliefs. The group wore uniforms bearing a Star of David and met for prayer, Bible and martial arts. And, they talked about blowing stuff up.
     It's easy to go into a ghetto and find people who dream of irrational acts against those they see as their oppressors. The likelihood of these guys actually committing their grandiose plans were about the same as them getting a decent paying job. 
     Nothing scares middle and upper class white people like angry, young black men. The fear level continues to rise.
___

It's now official ('cause it's in the Washington Post): Jon Stewart is an enemy of Democracy.
___

The "swiftboating" of Congressman Murtha has begun.

As the weather gets nicer, my posts will no doubt become more infrequent. I've been exploring the multitude of awesome bike trail accessible from downtown Spokane and will be sharing - via video and verbiage - my experiences.
    Yesterday I went to a local bike shop to buy a helmet (don't even get me started on this ridiculous law). Wanting to avoid the pointy, space age-looking, rocket man head set, I asked the guy behind the counter for something that I could use for "biking, rock climbing, or a WT0 riot."
      He didn't bat an eye, and returned with a super cool, military-like, black, noggin protector complete with a tiny embossed scary skull.
___

Here's the video made by the 15-year-old girl from Alabama we've been hearing about. Publishing "WWJD" on her website got her more than just a few death threats.
___

I love rebels. So when Mark asked me to include a link to his new site - a discussion board dedicated to helping users grow and cultivate marijuana - how could I say no?

the Spokane slogan!

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Patrick Henry

George Washington

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.
Sinclair Lewis

You don't need to defend a Lion. You just need to let him out of his cage.
C. S. Lewis

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Teddy Roosevelt

When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
Henry Ward Beecher

This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.
Plato

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
