The Ultimate Concern Troll


THE ULTIMATE CONCERN TROLL. The dough-headed criminal slimes his way out in front of the bright TV lights because he's lonely left to his own meaningless existence, and so dares to hope he can remain relevant in a world that hisses upon even hearing the name "Bush." And the...

¡Feliz Dia de Las Madres!


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I don't know about you, but my mother was the constant in my life. She wasn't perfect, isn't perfect, but without her love and her help, and without her own mothers' help—my nana put us up for a while when my own mother was divorced and...

Obama at the Quad


EIGHT THOUSAND members of the O.F.B. showed up yesterday at the Memorial Quad at the University of Oregon to listen to Senator Obama. As usual, I feel exhausted after the whole ordeal, and it's always hard to believe that this is mostly from standing and waiting. As well as...

Our Death Will Be Inside Our Homes


AND IN THE LAND THAT FLOATS UPON OIL, U.S. Forces and their subordinates are murdering the children of Iraq at the fastest rate possible. Though it's not quite fast or deadly enough to save them from the looming WMDs that endanger them all—the ones that required our military to...

Three Gods, An Ocean of Blood, and a Sodden Press


THERE IS SOMETHING profoundly lacking from the discussion of Hagee the Vitriolic and Falwell the Freakish vs. Wright the Black Pantheresque. I've listened to both of the soundbytes, and even to the full sermons that Wright gave. Te ones that were, of course, chopped down to a sentence or two...

I Expect You'll Understand the Difference Between White and Wrong


IT IS FUNNY how the primaries don't even seem to be about who actually wins or loses each state, but how each win or loss matches up to the expectation of whether or not that state will be won or lost. Of course the expectations are constantly massaged, sort...

Oregon is Voting, Even as We Speak


NEXT STOP, Oregon! And that's my beat. Here's a new MTV Choose or Lose blog wherein I lay down just the littlest bit of historia and shed some light on one of the factors that had an influence on how Oregon became the first state to switch entirely to...

Rust Takes Down the (Clinton) Machine


A CONCISE AND UNEMOTIONAL article on why the Clinton Machine couldn't crest the hill. Some say "old guard" and this piece more or less backs that up. Their thinking is yesterday's news in various ways and that's why they never saw what hit them. Bam, bam, bam! Blogmigo Kai just...

Symbol and Essence: Part 4.5


GRACIAS to Jessica Wakeman, who interviewed me yesterday for her Cinco de Mayo article at mainstreet.com. Thanks, Jessica, for doing just what you promised by putting some focus on certain points I hoped to stress. Even if that geography wasn't originally in your plan. What? My tacky chile pepper...

Summoning Us to Greatness


I'M RATHER DISAPPOINTED that the Clintons will not be moving back into La Casa Blanca. After all, it would have been great to have Hillary as President. I could have proudly pointed both my daughters to her and show them how a strong and smart woman should act in...

TALK ABOUT people who did not live to see this day. Wow. This is horrible. The death toll from the devastating cyclone in Myanmar over the weekend escalated to nearly 4000 people on Monday, with thousands of others still missing and at least one entire village wiped out, state television...

Happy Cinco de Mayo!


MIS AMIGOS! It's a sunny day, we're alive in a moment many others have not lived to see, and still we refuse to be ruled by fear and misdirection and by those who would control us and keep us mired in an occupation of the mind, soul, and belief...

Hillary Clinton in Eugene, Oregon [pt. 4]


LAST WEEK we watched a young man (whom one person wrote me and called "arrogant") engage the democratic process as he questioned Hillary Clinton during her Town Rally at the South Eugene High School (April 4). The bold student wanted to know if when all was said and done...
