[shameless plug] Or just shamefull this time. I have missed the boat on bOING bOING. They started posting sites that had shirts and stickers of Jon and Bush gear and I sent the message asking for my Jon and Bush stuff to be included to be included, but too late. I could just kick myself. HARD. Even if I didn't make a sale, it would have been wonderful just to be seen.

[political] Senator John McCain is on Tuner Classic Movies introducing the movie Paths of Glory as part of TCM's series of political figures sharing their favorite political movies. He discusses the importance of free speech during wartime and the resposibility of the Commander in Chief regarding sending troops into battle. It sounds to me like a backhanded condemnation of Iraq if you ask me.

[shameless plug] The presidential quote un-quote debates provide so much fodder that it would be foolish not to create new designs, even this close to the election. The 3 new ones are 'Integrity, Integrity, Integrity… or you can settle for Bush', 'Trade in your old Job and Degree for Community College! - I am George W. Bush and this is my Only Message', and 'Which country are we going to "Install

Operation Truth tracks the stories as well as legislation and other issues affecting vets today. You can also read their blog or get the feed.

[homeland insecurity] Yesterday, October 7th, the FBI seized server disks containing the files for indymedia, an alternative, not-for-profit news reporting entity. Now, more than a day later, there is no mention in the mainstream media of the seizure, or the First Amendment issues associated with the seizure.

Actually, they started a few hours before that, but those hits were only clicking off hits on the main page, but someone got interested enough to poke around and look at the rest of the designs later during business hours.

Right now the tagline is 'Anner Bads - more offensive than real ads', but I'm thinking of changing it to 'not making a dime off the corporate slime.' While it is illegal to make money off a parody, I thought it would be funny to use banner advertising for this purpose. The only ones who benefit are the customers

As a transplant from other climes, I have had to learn to endure the other drivers here on the road. Actually, that's not true - I still haven't gotten used to them. I've travelled around the world and so I have seen the driving styles in other cities. In Salt Lake City, I noticed more than a handful of people swinging from the number 1 lane across the 2, 3 and even 4 lanes to make a right hand

Television media coverage is boring, at least for those covering it. Miles and miles and miles of cable, hours upon hours of setup and testing for 2 minutes of airtime, working odd hours because a reporter from the other coast wants to use your truck to transmit a feed. Setup, check the quality of your feed, find the quickest route to the bathroom and food (whether catered or junk) and then

Award winning photo journalist Moises Saman was arrested for no apparent reason. It looks as if the NYPD is incapable of stopping a person and requesting professional creditials before hauling them to the pen.

Unfortunately, the drug is cocaine. Look for it to get cheaper and swing back into favored status among partiers. Unfortunately, this means keeping a better eye on our kids to watch for indications of use. Sigh.

The Register has a story about a California firm (site opens to the public 9/1) that allows customers to bypass traditional caller id tools. If it looks like the White House, or Jenny 867-5309, is calling, chances are it's a company you didn't want to talk to in the first place.

I wonder how many Bush supporters got swept up in this and are too embarrassed to speak out? Out of 264 people, what are the odds that all of the victims of this idiotic sweep were anti-Bush?

I felt safer ducking scuds in Al Jubail than I do here in the States under a vague Code Yellow / Orange / Red. I was willing to stand by George Bush Sr. when the duty called, but he didn't deliberately try to instill fear in me like his son has.

In Shrewsbury, the intersection of Route 9 and Quinsigamond has one lane southbound and two lanes making a left turn going north then westbound.

dissenters are yelled down not because they are wrong, but because they screwed up the rhythm. If someone stands up to yell ‘the emperor has no clothes,’ the audience doesn’t join the cry and ask ‘yeah, what’s up with that?’ Good cattle. Good cattle.
