And call me Cassandra ….

Long time readers are familiar with my concern over the whole Neoconfederate/Old South direction of national (and especially GOP) politics.

ABC = KKK?

You need to recall something important in the whole “Reverend Jeremiah Wright” “controversy”: ABC’s Brian Ross and his Burka Babes* launched this INTENTIONALLY. They purchased all available sermon tapes and found the sound bite heard ’round the world.
[* BRIAN ROSS, AVNI PATEL and REHAB EL-BURI, see "Barack Obama as Nat Turner" from March 19.]

Spring Cleaning!

OK. Major spring cleaning underway. This means maintenance of hard drives, defragging, archiving, etc. Installation of a new CD burner. Major renovation of office. Moving two computers. Restoring network. Major house issues. Etcetera. Most services off line: minimal email, etc.

Podcasting Begins

Now that tax season is over, it can finally be accomplished.
Podcasting, Overture.

Today, we begin podcasting. There are RSS and XML issues to be dealt with, but this is the trial run of the “guts” of it, uploading and making files available. In future, there ought to be a snazzy logo that you click on to [...]
