Some Democratic Party highlights from recent election years

Voting rights and hearing from a broad spectrum of candidates are important issues, particularly to those who either lost their voting rights without good reason and those who feel railroaded into voting for the lesser evil. Here are a few highlights from what the Democrats have done to help the registered voters justify becoming engaged [...]

US 2004 Election conclusions.

Bush will remain president. The Democrats won’t have a Nader scapegoat (which they didn’t have in 2000, but don’t tell a Democrat that), they’ll have to face the fact that their candidate lost all on his own. Kerry was a weak and stiff candidate—like Gore was in 2000 and Dole was before Gore. Right now, [...]

At least 100,000 Iraqi dead

According to an interview with Les Roberts on Democracy Now!: The Pentagon may be collecting civilian death figures and keeping them secret. A survey concluded that there is at least 100,000 Iraqi dead. This is, of course, appalling but not surprising. And it still doesn’t come close to the estimate Secretary Albright gave of the [...]

How quickly the Left crumbles under the weight of repetition.

Mark Fiore, cartoonist and critic from the Left, lampoons the Bush administration in “OppositeLand” that “Inspections worked” and “Sanctions worked”. But one must ask, worked to achieve what? Inspections worked to make Hussein get rid of the weapons which we gave him the money to buy or supplied him with outright. He was our friend [...]

Development by accretion; Apple repeats NeXT’s error?

Jef Raskin, one of the big movers and shakers behind the MacOS graphical user interface, was interviewed by The Guardian. He notes that Apple develops “by accretion”, not fixing the old stuff but acquiring new stuff to throw on top of the old stuff (in the hopes you won’t notice the underlying broken stuff). This [...]

Bipartisan love for media corporations.

Looking at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center’s website, I came across a link to this cartoon. One of the bubbles (ostensibly read by a Sinclair corporation newsreader) reads “This program comes courtesy of a company that stands to profit handsomely from media consolidation efforts supported by the incumbent [President Bush].”. But history shows there is [...]

Common Dreams: 3 kinds of articles; Democrats: one kind of victory?

There are three kinds of articles on Common Dreams, a Progressive website which seems to consist largely of whole-hog copying of articles from a variety of sources: Pimp Kerry’s policies. There aren’t too many of these articles because you can’t polish a turd. Criticize Bush’s policies. There is a lot to work with here because [...]

Important movies

There aren’t that many movies that are good. Fewer still are important. Here’s my picks on the movies I think are important. The Corporation The movie asks “If corporations are legal persons, what kind of people are they?”. If there’s one big thing the movie doesn’t talk about, it’s corporate influence on political campaigns. On [...]

Why I don’t trust the Left

In no particular order: I fear that media exclusion will be endorsed, not challenged, by the Left. After Amy Goodman interviewed Larry Flynt she said she had received a large number of letters asking why she would interview him at all. Keeping Flynt off the air seemed to be more palatable than hearing the mix [...]

My posts to Slashdot.

My posts to Slashdot interest some. Perhaps they’ll interest you. Of course, posting to a forum you don’t control is risky. Your posts can be edited or hidden without your approval. But I do take e-mail seriously. So if you’d like to reply via e-mail and lose the publicity that comes with replying publicly, feel [...]
