Hitler, Not So Much
Bush is not Hitler.
While there is a certain religious fervor and hatred of the infidel other among many of his supporters, Bush and his backers, and by backers I mean those with the money, are not Nazis.
They are rather a variety of fascists, in which the interest of the corporation is the interest of the [...]
Car, UPDATED 7/15/09
Sam’s mom got some money for consulting and is getting driving lessons!
Whoo-hoo!!
I can’t WAIT to have one less thing to complain about.
UPDATE, 7/15/09: Despite her repeated stories about being nervous about driving on the highway as an excuse for relying on her fiancee to transport Sam, it turns out she never actually got her license. [...]

This Memorial Day
Say a prayer or a rememberance
for those who died,
because the President lied,
for every PTSD,
for every amputee,
for the families of soldiers
who come home in cargo planes,
and those who never come home at all.
So many have died
because the President [...]

Sam and I were watching the closing credits of Thomas: Calling All Enginges again tonight, a story following the rivalry, and consequent reconciliation, of steam engines and diesel engines on the Island of Sodor, when I noticed that he was trying to say the words the chorus of British children were singing.

From Carlin Romano:
Hi, Brendan. I note your ironic (if not sarcastic) tone, but you’re missing something. This was a scene piece about a panel at a convention, not about the industry as a whole. No one present spoke up for the left. You don’t “balance” a report on a panel — you just report what [...]
