I do not know why Mark David Chapman and Arthur Bremer were so obsessed with Catcher in the Rye, nor why it was consistently among the top ten most censored books in America. But there you have it. Continue reading →

If we don’t want the terrorists getting their hands on nuclear materials (and we’ve shown that a “dirty” bomb is effective, too, you don’t need fissionable or fissile material in quantity sufficient to make an IAD — Improvised Atomic Device — to be a nuclear terrorist), then WHY THE HELL DO WE WANT TO BUILD MORE NUCLEAR PLANTS?

You don’t think that the Oregon Republican Party is engaged in a stealth campaign to undo the Democratic majority in the Legislature do you? [...] Gee. That would be tantamount to treason: sneaking off after the legislative session and trying to exercise a “stealth” veto over the budget, aided and abetted by the biggest businesses in Oregon, wouldn’t it?

Of course, since it’s a COMPLETELY FAKE INTERVIEW, I guess we ought to take it with a grain of salt. Although that probably won’t stop Hannity, Malkin or WorldNutDaily. They DO have their journalistic standards to adhere to, after all. Continue reading →

Yes, Virginia, the Brownshirts of the Reichght, that bunch of happy blogswarmers, are off on another “Private Beauchamp” witch-hunt.

In the wake of Watergate, Massachusetts sneered that they were the only state (with D.C.) that voted for McGovern. And rubbed it in with a bumper sticker seen everywhere in the Bay State. So, I guess fair’s fair. Continue reading →
