August 23, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

Obama is going to announce his VP choice soon, if you believe what you read. My guess is it’s going to be someone not on the “short list” we’ve been hearing so much about from the media. But, everyone’s buzzing like bees to honey. The gossip quotiant is stifling. Ever heard of triclosan? Well, it’s [...]

The other day on Hardball on MSNBC, an interesting moment occurred. Chris Matthews and guests Howard Fineman and Andrea Mitchell started out discussing Obama’s looming VP choice, the various “front runners” on the “short list” (a completely made up list by the media, since no one has a clue, but they make it sound like [...]

us versus them

August 22, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

A friend sent me a video that bothered me a great deal. It’s something I’d seen before, earlier this year. In a nutshell, it uses sugary music and mixes clean and dirty images to pound home the message that the evil Palestinian’s have killed 123 Israeli children since 2000. And, there are videos from the [...]

Billmon (of Whiskey Bar fame) has been posting a little over at Daily Kos. (After a long hiatus from his own blog.) His latest is on the conflict between Russia and Georgia and the US role in it… It’s fascinating reading… The conflict caught many by surprise, but it’s been a “diplomatic” initiative for the [...]

anthrax once again and again and again

August 20, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

At the time, it seemed to me odd timing that the government was so willing to consider the case closed against Bruce Ivins who had just died days before. Those close to him felt the same. Prudence would suggest, nay demand, that investigators act otherwise. But, as we’ve all learned, this administration knows not the [...]

A few from Starre… my fav Eco chick. She has a new book out. Get it now. Thank you. Come again. Finally, go green with Twitter… Just watch your back. We live in uncertain times. And, I’m not talking about getting blown away by some sicko dip wad while eating your ding dong at the [...]

mccain obama and the 800 pound gorilla

August 20, 2008 by DJ Lanphier

It’s rather interesting that David Gergen seems ready to proclaim John McCain president after a single joint appearance in what most observers admit was a decidedly pro-McCain venue and host. Forget the controversy… Just remember every two bit pundit in the media sphere wants to anoint the president, be it Obama or McCain. None of [...]
