Well, almost: just looky here: The U.S. military has warned Iraq that it will shut down military operations and other vital services throughout the country on Jan. 1 if the Iraqi government doesn’t agree to a new agreement on the status of U.S. forces or a renewed United Nations mandate for the American mission in [...]
The Persians are coming, the Persians are coming
Oh that Hillary (addressing the topic of Iran)… Some words should never be uttered, not even in the heat of a national political campaign. If you like that kind of language, though, this is what you’re signing up for: Post-blast corpses in Hiroshima, Japan This photo and others like it were only recently released. They’re [...]
I think it’s time for this again. I first used this image (which I created) on March 14, 2003… Over one million human beings dead! The singular moral and political event of the last eight years. From this crime, so heinous, widespread, corrupting, and ongoing as to defy comprehension, comes the present state of America: [...]
It’s the nationalists versus the separatists. Read all about it here in the best analysis of this I’ve ever read.

Now that’s more like it. Besides being one helluva performer, Fogerty is an outstanding [...]
Well, that was a short fall. Fourteen degrees all of sudden is quite a shock. I’ve been burning wood all day. Most of the trees still have their leaves on them, but not for long. Fourteen degrees, my God. I never even checked the radiator fluid. Did cut the water off to the outside spigot. [...]
Take a look. Take a good, close look. Posted by the blogger Nezua (“The Unapologetic Mexican”) in a piece called “One More Moment Before We Bomb,” these images of Iranian life are stunning and will grab you by the throat. Interesting blog… I’m rather envious of his graphics skills. [FarrFeed looks like tarpaper by comparison.] [...]
Ah, so nice. I think Mark Morford’s latest column sums up the war and us quite perfectly. I do in fact believe he’s made my day. He calls it “Iraq, Deep in Your Bones.” Go have a look, if you’re inclined. You’ll need to start at the beginning to understand the “two dueling Americas,” or [...]
