It's too logistically complex to throw together in one day. This way, at least, I'll be able to edit something together at home and include some audio snippets from something else.
Tonight might be less interesting than normal. I don't have as many articles to read as I usually do. But I did find some local content!

I can't wait to see this new Michael Moore movie. I've heard so many things from both sides of the spectrum. Like I said, I can't wait. I'm going to try to see if I can bootleg the audio. Probably can't, but oh well...
One thing I'm not prepared for is some of the footage. Apparently there's a real beheading in this movie.

How long has it been? A couple months, I know. I apologize. But I've put the selfish acts of others behind me now and am ready to move on.
So much has happened since my last post that I feel no matter what I comment about tonight, I'll be leaving something big out. Might as well give it a shot:

Condaleeza Rice actually thinks we'll believe that there were no threats of attacks in the August 6th memo, even though it was titled "Osama Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S."?
okay... and what bothers me about this whole fillabustering and plausible denial tactic that she uses is that so far it's proven effective.

Not that I ever had an easy time with it in the first place. In retrospect, my pieces remind me of something you'd hear a drunk activist ranting about at some party. Preaching to the converted it's called... oh well... I also use too many parentheticals and elipses, but it's just a reflection of my speaking style.

Richard Clarke has replaced McCain at the top of my list of favorite conservatives. I've seen the testimony, read the backround briefing, and am considering getting the book. Nothing tells me that this guy is lying in any way. What has he got to gain? his political career is over for sure. His book sales will eventually taper off, he knows this.

On February 26th, after my show, I fell rather ill. I've been getting these rather horrendous bouts of vertigo and naseau couple with stuffed up lungs and air passages. I think it might be related to allergies, but none of my doctors have any idea what's going on. Anti-histamines don't help, and only serve to make me drowsy.

I don't know where to begin on this one. While I agree with Ralph fundamentally, I'm a little disappointed in him. At the same time, I'm upset at all these Democrats taking out their pent up frustration that's been held over from 2000.
Let's talk about 2000. Boy that was a crazy year, wasn't it? I think everybody was just glad to be alive.

It's really depressing when you find out the ugly truth about your fellow americans. You see, here in these "excited states of 'mericuh", we pride ourselves on championing democracy and civil rights. The reality of it is, we are very far behind most other rich nations when it comes to treating each other equally. Blacks are still treated like crap in this country, women are slackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03504490157061105700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182898.post-1076623188749651162004-02-12T15:59:00.000-06:002004-02-12T16:02:20.670-06:00okay, so now it looks like Indymedia has backed out and wants to try and webcast on their own. Good luck, guys. You'll need it, considering you don't have any audio gear.
Anyhow, I'm still looking for field reporters for the M20 redux event. Please send me an email if interested.

This year, Redline Radio, in a joint effort (hopefully) with Indymedia Chicago, will be giving you full coverage of the solidarity march. March 20th is a Saturday this year, so I hope all of you can make it. There are plans to even webcast our broadcast. This should be exciting.

The "intelligent" ad bug at the top of this page has listed some strange shit based on what I post. Usually it's political, and also right-wing. I've seen talking ann coulter dolls advertised, right wing pundit books, and even the fucking RNC's website.

Although he hasn't outright said it yet, he is obviously gearing up to blame the CIA, DIA and State Department for the intelligence failure. The commission he has set up to investigate the intelligence failure is pure smoke and mirrors.

I'm not really surprised at all.

Been in the news a lot lately. At first I didn't care, because I don't eat meat. I've thought about this a lot more lately though and now it's starting to freak me out. I haven't been a veggie long enough to not worry about it.

It's nice to see things going right in Iraq for a change. Last week's show was so full of bad news from there that I think I talked about Iraq for almost an hour. The only problem I see coming from this bit of news are two things: 1. Bush is gloating and 2. They're saying now that finding the WMD will be easy because they're assuming he'll tell them where they are.
