Inaugural Balls

By AmHm • Jan 21st, 2009 • Category: Politics

Incredibly awkward moments are my specialty. Take this morning for example. While browsing around on MSN.com, settling in to my morning routine, I stumbled across a byline that made me laugh out loud. Here- I’ve taken a screenshot:



We Want Obama (for our own nations).

By fragmad • Jan 20th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Hot: That was a good speech wasn’t it? I was sitting in The Gateway pub just next door to my old university with a bunch of friends still there. I had a good pint in my hand and the past eight years seemed to have a band-aid applied by lady liberty. I was impressed by [...]



My First Visit to Change.gov and What I Wrote There

By Giania • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: I decided to check out change.gov to see what our President-elect Mr. Obama was up to now that the first big hurdle has been lept. While I was there, skimming the “Additional Issues” section to see what wasn’t a big enough deal to merit it’s own page, I noticed a banner inviting me to [...]



Hopping on the Bandwagon of Democractic Procedure

By Giania • Nov 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: This morning I went out and cast my vote for president, as well as some state and local officials. The lines weren’t long, the weather wasn’t bad, and I still had time for coffee. It didn’t hurt, and no one was particularly grouchy. Voting isn’t so bad. If you haven’t voted, you should. If [...]



My “Obsession?” the US Media’s Negligence

By AmHm • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: I suppose it goes without saying that I am, overall disappointed and disgusted in the United States media. However, the blatant negligence on one particular issue has me outraged: on Friday, September 26th a radical, anti-Islamic group in perpetrated a terrorist attack against more than 30 children at the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, [...]



Reality Politics

By fragmad • Oct 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: This is a subject I have been thinking about for about six months now. If you’ve listened to me gibber, rant and rave about American politics in #ectomo (Efnet) then you’ll have heard this all before. But I think it’s a valid point to make and keep making. I’m not an American. I do [...]



Waxing Political: Waning Patience for Large Scale Blame

By Giania • Sep 25th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: It’s rare that I decide to comment on political matters, or politics in general. I find the entire subject fraught with philosophical dead ends and sand pits. Politics deals with handling the issues of large numbers of people by trying to make decisions that effect the masses while pleasing as many of them as [...]



Just when I thought we were taking steps forward…

By Guest Author • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: Call this liberal horse hockey. Call this leftist ideology. Really, you can call it whatever you want, because I don’t give a flying shitcake. If what you get from this post goes anywhere near “anti-American” than you can feel confident that you have severely missed the point and there is a lonely noose in [...]



Abandonment Issues: USSR Style

By Giania • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: Art, History, Politics

Hot: No, not the abandonment issues you the gentle readers feel when I neglect to update. Nor the abadonment issues my shoutcast listeners recently developed due to my foolish desire to pull the plug on that project. The abandonment in question is a series of really engrossing photos on buildings and areas in the former [...]



Revisionist History: Remembering American Religion

By Giania • Jan 7th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest, History, Philosophy, Politics

Hot: They overshot the number for maximum snarky humor by 222. The Daily Kos has provided a link to the list of committee members who will be dealing directly with this bill in their lengthy commentary. I have no idea why only the Democrats have outbound links. As with any law-related item, it is strongly [...]
