Blog Aggregates: McCain vs Paul and others.
In reference to the McCain Paul Letter on Andrew Sullivans The Daily Dish struck me. I don't have the same reverence for McCain for various reasons, but I feel for those that see their heroes go down the wrong path nonetheless.

A Ron Paul Voter Checklist
Things Ron Paul supporters should do:
This will frequently update. Well, maybe not so frequently.
Register for polling at Zogby to make sure you have a chance to be sampled in their polling data. They also do polls on request.
RedState is a den of snakes, writhing and flicking with straight up Right Wing Tyrranist apologizers and fervent collaborationists, watching their cycle switch over, and very much being the bastion of where George Bush's wind has blown, no matter from which end it is blowing.
In this kind of place prepare to deal with hostile echo chamber advocates of the first order, who will bait you with low roaded speech at every turn, and reveal their bigoted nature only haltingly and with much encryption. This is not only the going penance in the world online. In the world at large they make their presence known by their willingness to be blind and asleep to obvious tyrranies, large and small, with the demon of Apathy firmly laid at their brow. To ask another to do for them that they would not be bothered, against their will. For that be willing to do for your fellows, to get this statesman on the pulpet. It may be bully, but it needs to come. An executively expansionist tyrant every four years, has gotten tiresome, and at least Bill you could relate to, but Hil I think should stay, and rest her hand on the new york senate where she should stay, she should stay. At least it'll make her far from Texas that way.

Niggy Tardust Emerges
Taking a break from politicizing (well, the music is political, guess I lied) the blogosphere. A great concept album, somewhat of a Ziggy Stardust homage, produced by Trent Reznor and released without the benefit of a traditional label. good music, the U2 cover is great, but originals are a massive taste of ear candy. Expect further reviewing as I stew in the album.
He really puts it best here:
He really puts it best here:
My Dearest Friends and Fans,
It is my greatest honor to present to you The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!,
my new album produced by Trent Reznor and mixed by Alan Moulder. The wall of sound that we've created is tagged with such graffiti that a passerby would seek out doors and ways to ENTER. Once inside a world defined by dreams come true they'd find aligned with the simplest act of sharing what we treasure. Most people aren't aware of the world of art and commerce where exploitation strips each artist down to nigger. Each label, like apartheid, multiplies us by our divide and whips us 'til we conform to lesser figures. What falls between the cracks is a pile of records stacked to the heights of talents hidden from the sun. Yet the energy they put into popularizing smut makes a star of a shiny polished gun. The ballot or the bullet for Mohawk or the mullet is a choice between new times and dying days. And the only way to choose is to jump ship from old truths and trust dolphins as we swim through changing ways. The ways of middlemen proves to be just a passing trend. We need no priests to talk to God. No phone to call her. And when you click the link below, i think it fair that you should know that your purchase will make middlemen much poorer...
NiggyTardust!
love,
Saul

Oreilly vs Ron Paul
In this video (google vid) O'reilly merely attempts to support his own position in any interview. Ron did a good job considering the neocon-windbags constant interruption. All I see from the other side is ignorance of our own historical role in generating animosity by our policy in the middle east. Their solution, more of the same. Now Putin (Formerly Bush's buddy buddy) is Allied with Iran.
Maybe the Bushbots should evaluate the policies they support critically and adjust them rather than their existing plan of "Stay the Course", "with us or against us", "support our private security contractors" and "extraordinary rendition".
Quite honestly, all of the Bushbot neocons might as well vote for Clinton because she's, in reality, the candidate for them. At least they'll get free healthcare out of the deal. And they don't have to lie about decreasing the size of government and lowering taxes.

Front Page Magazine http://www.frontpagemag.com recently posted an article http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=7169C0C2-D529-4B93-B83A-8C9ECEB455D5 with the contents of an obviously fictitious flyer containing the following fictitious (November has only 30 days folks) contents:
So I suppose now Ron Paul will have to contend with the MSM and the NeoCon apparatus attack dogs spewing their flawed rhetoric. I find it heartening to see that he, as ever, remains unhateful and unbigoted in the face of this.Who Hates Americans? We Do.
Your typical American is:
Ø A racist. A sexist. A homophobe.
Ø An Islamo-phobe.
Ø Is willing to invade other countries for oil and pleasure.
Ø Is easily manipulated by Rush Limbaugh and Jews.
Ø Is the cause of global warming.

Thoughts on The Morning Show
In Reference To: http://www.590klbj.com/Bios/morning.aspx
Cast of Characters:
Mark Cesar the Milquetoast Moderator.
Sgt Sam the Dominionist Crusader.
Ed Clements (DemoLibertarian?)Hack Liberal (Bearded)
I tell you what, I love the show. I'm just going for heavy satire here basically a really jaded vicious take on what you can expect if you should listen if they get really steamed.
Sam pretty much does his best to blather the Statist Corporatist Surveillance State (he is a former cop) party line. Gee Dubya Bee if fahhhhtin against them there Islamofascists, etc etc. He finds "obvious" sexual connotations with words like "Juicy" on slow news days. He has an odd occasional bout of (feigned?) moral outrage about certain really obvious violations of civil liberties and things, but he doesn't really rock the boat (former cop) with the ones who are in charge of how things work.
Eds job is to make pithy and easily weak arguments against all of the things Sam garners the vast distributed essence of the group-mind known as Bubba Joe Law Abidin in the state to be really mad about.
Mark tempers Sams Weird and Bearded Faux-Conservatism with his own milquetoast variety. Ed gets blocks of time to talk about food and sports. They all bitch about traffic like everyone else.
They steer clear of annoying the Take On Traffic folks because they started running ads on The Morning Show.

Spanish Edition (Hello LizardMan and Magneto)
a la verga este puto juego = gonna chuck this lame-assed game into the yard.
bola de enfermos = ball of patients, probably referring to the effects of an m4 wielding uber player in the game that had just rolled a bunch of folks.

Terror! Urban style. (FPSING)
Quake 3 urbanterror the module, is now a standalone game as well as a mod to quake3. There has been a resurgence in play, so if you have a chance, frag/be fragged by FraterM or even my buddy Lejendary on a few of the Team Survivor games that will occur into the forseeable future.

Comparisons Between Google and Yahoo Map Data
12365 Riata Trace Pky, Austin, TX 78727 the home of a certain technology company I am fond of, and the vicinity of 8100 Campeche Bay Pl, Round Rock, TX, 78681 happen to be strangely woefully inaccurate in googles map service, i suppose it relates to the NavTeq vs TeleAtlas pissing contest over API availability and so forth, either way, whoever provides Yahoo the nice data on Round Rock, really did well. Now if Yahoos offerings were more coherent (just a bit so) and less ad-intrusive, they could really have something going! I will give them more attention for the time being, methinks, due to their meritorious lack of inaccuracy.
Until next time, I go to play some Republic of Rome.

First post
Might start talking about the following things:
Co-option of religion, false religion, and the justification for ever increasing surveillance.
I hope to come to an understanding of the political realities that consistently keep us at war generation after generation and hopefully (provided that understanding bears this out) countering some of the right wing apologists for the Bush regimes war policy who seem to tend towards the teasingly almost libertarian views that make up the makeup of most healthy individuals. Then promptly, after calling "Liberals" (who by the way voted for the war) Orwellian out of one side of their mouths, then spit out of the others justification for the USA Patriot Act(by the way was passed into law with the assistance of a large number of "Liberals"), or similar joyously tyrannical effluvium, demolishing any chance for a real debate.
Hopefully I can help my fellow members of the general public not wholly confused into either brand of toothpaste foisted upon us as our "two-party system" change this mess into something manageable.
Seeing McCain try to tear down Chaney in the news lately, watching this oh-so-dramatic play between people who conspire criminally (realpolitik lacks morality, sorry Alain) against folks as a matter of course. McCain is no angel, as much as Cheney is no devil (more of a satanic teddy bear, stuck with an overly moralizing and confused voter base) he's just been drawn that way lately.
