Gone Digging

But Then What Happened? (The citizens were arrested for trespassing and released without charges.)

Where Were You Four Years Ago? (Working on this?)

You know, they say China is finding authoritarian stability by providing a cozy middle-class lifestyle in place of human rights. "Now it seems possible," Perry Link tells Ken Silverstein of Harper's Magazine, "that Chinese leaders will establish a model - not just for China itself but for other countries around the world that admire the way the Chinese government is structuring its society in an authoritarian manner but also making money, so that the populace is kept happy without democracy or civil liberties."

Bring It On, we've got New Yorker reporters ready to take you. (Where was Seymour Hirsch four years ago? Receiving a Menorah Award. He was on the bandwagon before it was the bandwagon.)

Diggers Dig Nancy Pelosi; forget that turning off the lights and killing the microphones saves energy (as opposed to congress talking about gas prices, which is a waste of energy).

No one's willing to admit that they have it in for female politicians. One can speak truth without maintaining an honest focus; if the President started talking about how grass is green and 2+2 is 4, we'd say that real issues are being ignored, wouldn't we? How hard is it to prove that a politician is dirty?

Also, did you know that MoveOn.org resorts to the same slimy partisan-non-profit fundraising tactics as the College Republicans? (Did you know that Jack Abramoff used to lead the College Republicans, and turned them into the Republican farm system they are today? Did you know that he and other Republicans of the era were stalwartly behind apartheid South Africa?) Now who do you trust, eh?

Are you like me? Do you only trust Hunter S. Thompson and a few other dead people?
