giving the finger properly like a good American

April 30, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Not to beat a dead horse, but to beat a dead horse, I’m still not sure why so many dim bulbs got upset about Obama not actually flipping the finger but thinking he did. Flipping the bird is as American as Mom, apple pie, Hell’s Angels, Fruit Loops and serial killers. My complaint is that [...]

The Truth According To Wikipedia

April 29, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

A documentary on how the web 2.0 “revolution” is kaput. Old news, but essential watching for those interested in the issue. Will blog on this later. buzz-twang : news and views : blog

Was on Sirius Satellite Radio this week, as a guest on The Blog Bunker. Will write about that this weekend, as I’ve been rather busy, but I shall. Promise. buzz-twang : news and views : blog

clueless geezer

April 22, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Methinks I smell the faint whiff of Bob Dole. The Rude One tears McBush a new one, as only Monsignor Rude can do after the Repbulican presumptive nominee for preznit praises the Pastor John Hagee (yeah, the Hagee who sells his Armageddon fear mongering movie in an infomercial while standing in front of a casket) [...]

word of the day: flexitarian

April 22, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Starre has an interesting post (and video) over at her site Eco-Chick on Hannah Kaminsky’s vegan dessert cook book My Sweet Vegan. As usual, Starre has me thinking about all good things inside and out, and her post reminded me of an interesting article in Saveur a few issues back on vegan cookbooks and flexitarians. [...]

idiocracy watch

April 20, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Yes, even a good fiction writer couldn’t make this stuff up. Behaving eerily like Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton goes after MoveOn.org, the group that was founded to defend her husband, the former President, against impeachment during his second term. When you are breaking rules that have become cliches, such as “Never bite the hand that [...]

meet the new boss, same as the old boss

April 20, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

The New York Times has come out with a really good article with supporting video that looks at how the Pentagon manipulates news and information to their advantage, and did so during the revolt of several generals. This is a continuation of a a pretty important issue that I’ve written about in the past: “The [...]

obama too itchy and scratchy to be president

April 20, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

A few intrepid pundits out there in teh internets have postulated that if Obama is unable to control his itching, then he is unfit for president. Personally, I think that it is important to have a president who knows when to scratch an itch and when not to scratch an itch. But, that’s just me. [...]

obama scratches face, calamity ensues

April 19, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Apparently, when Obama scratches his face it causes some people to break out in a rash. Being a nervous disorder, madness sets in quickly. For his next trick, Obama will turn someone who didn’t serve his county in a time of war with duty in a combat zone into someone who did serve his country [...]

adventures in bitter town

April 17, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Uppity “kneegrows” with deep thoughts should just be quiet. It’s best for the nation.True amurikans don’t talk about this stuff. They are too busy shooting their constitutionally allowed guns at inanimate objects. Next week the media is going to be saying that Obama’s choice of ordering two tacos, a side salad and a large drink [...]
