Uncle Sam is sick of the labels and asks us to move forward, past the preconceived notions. Open the door to a brave new world free from Big Brother.
Waiting For 2012
2012 is right around the corner and Wesley takes a moment to reflect on the state of our world in the anarchist prose style, we love him for.
A Short Letter to the Prez
Dear President Obama,
In regard to your scoff at online Americans who are pushing the issue regarding decriminalization of marijuana:
Remember how you got elected? The online blitz of your campaign surely was a large factor in your grabbing hold of the presidency. For you to now scoff at that same audience for it’s concerns is extremely disappointing. Marijuana, even as reported in the Nixon-appointed Shafer Commission of 1972, is not a dangerous drug. Why don’t you take a look at the same commission report Nixon refused to read because the group of nonpartisan SCIENTISTS called for it’s decriminalization? Here’s a link to help you better educate yourself, as it appears you know little regarding this MAJOR issue: http://www.iowamedicalmarijuana.org/documents/nc1contents.aspx

Trampling on Things Sacred
There’s nothing wrong with liking The Beatles. They were a damn good pop band. But that’s what they were: a damn good pop band. Pop, or popular music, is by definition not anti-establishment.
…and now for The News, with your host, Ian McLeod
So we’re well over the 1 month mark for the Obamadministration. So far, he’s taking to his office like a goldfish takes to a kitchen floor. In the news over the past few weeks: Satan is eating Ben and Jerry’s, Blind Men don’t watch DVDs, and Nobody in the new U.S. Diplomatic Corps speaks Russian.
A Letter to President Barack Obama
What follows is the comment I left on the White House website regarding HR 1, the Monstrous Stimulus Bill of Doom. If you would like to comment on the bill before the President signs it, you can do so here. It won’t change anything, which is the irony of it all, but it would be good to let your voices be heard by some White House staffer who reads this stuff, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the stimulus itself. I would, of course, be honored and impressed if my comment makes it to the President’s desk, but my hopes are not up.
Dear Mr. President,
Jason and the Obamanauts
President Obama took a mere two weeks to hire lobbyists, attempt to hire tax-evaders, and otherwise show himself for what he is: a Chicago Politician.
The Day the Earth Stood Still: Where I was when the speech of our lifetime was delivered… A Drunken Dance on the Wall of Objectivity
“I have stayed up all night to watch it this speech live with my own eyes…. I had to see it live, I had to ride the rocket. I wanted to taste it and you simply cannot taste something on YouTube. So far it tastes like cheap cold brandy and cigarettes. But it’s not even five yet, things could change….”
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love 2012
Steve Sigl challenged us to deal with this 2012 bit. Wesley jumped on it, and now here I am. We’re all pumped about Armageddon, the Apocalypse, Nostradamus, the Mayan Calendar, and maybe even the end of fiat currency. But why? I’ll deal with each of these subjects with the usual delicate analysis with which you’ve grown so accustomed.
Why I can’t Wait for 2012
In Steve Sigl’s “Saved Admission” review of the yet to be made film “The Pick Up Artist”, Steve asks why can’t the reader wait for 2012? December 2012 marks the end of the Mayan calender. As with the Judaeo Christian calendar, most scientist theories the end of the Mayan calender will be met by the start of the next cycle in the Mayan calender. Mayans may have not felt the need to map out more than 3000 years. Who could have known 3000 years would go by and humans would still be around? Hell some of us think humans won’t be around for another 30 years, let alone 3000. The rational mind says, 2008 begot 2009 and the day after the doomsday 2012 will be like any other day. The intent of a calender is to track time. The end of one cycle is the start of another. Yet, the fear of the unknown shows every end is met by mass hysteria from the followers of Armageddon, as we have seen countless time and exemplified by the Y2K Bug.
