Leaving the Dubya Bush Happy Freedom Kill Kult Club

I GUESS IT WOULD BE TOO CRASS for Michael Dowd, Bush's old Chief Campaign Strategist, to come right out and say "Man. I helped a madman gain power and he went and unleashed stupidity and insanity and preemptive bomb droppings and fomented civil war and made popular mass graves...

Para and Por, once more

EVERY TIME I think that I have the differences between "para" and "por" down, I read something else or find a usage that confuses me again! It's a tough nugget. I used "para" here, but I think maybe "por" would be a better choice. And that's what I used...

As The War Machine Keeps Turning

ALL I CAN SAY is that these are the moments I will personally remember and recall as reflective of the ruling party's demeanor during the Iraq invasion/occupation. Bush, playing peekaboo on video, mocking the lie he took the nation to war with. Rove, being unfunny, ugly, and hostile to...

Americans Deny Purpose of Brain Tissue

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE IMAGES that resists comment.

Bush Finally Uniting World

WHAT A CLOWN history will show george w bush to be. What a miserable, lip-flapping, bomb-dropping, leering, stupid, ignorant, gutless clown. America's Right Wing diehards still kneel at the foot of the fake prophet, as if there is anything to be found there but ashes. Ashes and mouse droppings....

Skeleton Butlers

SOME MEMORIES are of plain days, but still so magical, description itself can diminish their intensity for a moment or two. You may have to sketch ragged corners with a faded felt-tip marker, touch up rainy hues with nothing more than the mist of your own breath. Float a...

The Happy, Cuddly, Prison Show

HUTTO PRISON recycles devious yet tired tactics. Smile with the goodface. Put a satin tie around the crooked neck. Dress up for the Press, hiding away that which cannot withstand judgment. A crucial component to the Bush Doctrine, incidentally. And one that inherently admits both guilt and awareness of...

What's Wrong With Being Right?

The Bing-Jong-Gangle of a Wordly Inter-Tangle

NO, it's not a Spanish accent anyone would ever hear in my voice. There's no trace of it there, nor could there be. I spent far more time in New York than I did in Mexico (say "tee-HWA-na"), or speaking Spanish. I don't have that "Typical New York" accent....

Bush Wins Over Latin American

SAO PAULO, Brazil — President Bush set out on a mission to change the widespread perception that the U.S. is a violent and hegemonic nation and kicked off a six day tour of Latin America on Thursday. Street protests roared through the night in the neighborhoods surrounding his hotel....

Babysitters Support the Troops

BUT WHEN MEXICANS TRY, they get busted. Another ICE raid on yet another factory being operated, in part, by Mexicans. Good, because our economy is so damn robust, we really need to slow it down. About 100 children were left stranded at schools and day care centres after their parents...
