This YouTube guy, has some of the really interesting stuff you won’t see in the fore.
Look, its not going away, sorry.  We’re gonna have to deal with it and it won’t be pretty.

Let me begin by saying I apologize. I’ve been gone promoting my new movie, hob-nobbing with Hollywood bigshots and lowlifes, and basking in the human-induced tanning machine that is southern California for a while (note driving with the top down and AC off to prevent damage to ozone-layer but lack of hands-free cell headset to […]

Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack of the Brookings Institution have been wrong about Iraq as long and as consistently as anyone. Pollack was a cheerleader for the Iraq war even before it happened; he wrote a book in 2002 called The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq. Amazon.com will sell you a […]

Over at Washington Monthly, Kevin Drum highlights an article in TNR comparing US and European cancer care.  The article does some apples to apples comparisons between the US and several European nations and concludes:
[The authors] were kind enough to respond when I contacted them. “Overall,” I asked, “was one country significantly and consistently better than […]

From Noah Shachtman on the Danger Room blog:
Maybe you’re like me: Utterly, completely flummoxed by the Bush Administration’s decision to sell $20 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf potentates. I mean, aren’t these guys pretty actively backing Sunni insurgents in Iraq? And where did those 9/11 hijackers come […]

This post was originally titled “The Speech That Got JFK Bumped Off” until OneUtah Author Richard Warnick set me straight.
Richard, you are right. I’ve been taken. I know realize People have been quoting parts of that speech out of context for a variety of purposes forever.
Thanks for setting me straight.

WOW! Watch this movie. (Apparently, YouTube keeps taking it down, but Google Video has it up. Hmm)
Zietgeist
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
Apparently, this is the hot new subject at the water cooler.
Finally, a masterfuly-done full length film on this subject.
I think we will be hearing more about this soon.

Now that I’ve become completely convinced of the mass conspiracy to cover up ET, along with my strong conviction that the story we’ve been told about 9/11 is a lie, I’ve begun to look more closely at this long-standing world order stuff.
And I was watching Zietgeist and I saw this quote:

They must find it difficult
those […]

…and the sooner we admit that and get off this arrogant notion that we are, the sooner we will be able to get down to the very serious business of making it better.  Surely, the longer we live in this fantasy, the further behind we will slip.

I probably shouldn’t post this because it might be mean. But gosh darnit, I’m pissed and I’m tired of being angry. And when I think about how we ended up with this president, I think of Ken Bingham who posts here often (and may never come back after this) with the sincerity and glibness […]

Our sun is dying. Mankind faces extinction. Seven years ago the Icarus project sent a mission to restart the sun but that mission was lost before it reached the star. Sixteen months ago, I, Robert Capa, and a crew of seven left earth frozen in a solar winter. Our payload a stellar bomb with a […]

Senator Robert Bennett used his opportunity to speak yesterday about election integrity to recount silly stories about “voter fraud.” Something the present administration has been trying to trump up to their advantage if it becomes a feasible way to prove an election was stolen from them. Bob was a loyal soldier when he said these […]

At the cnn youtube debate, Obama was asked if he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuala and Cuba and he responded by saying, absolutely, yes, he would be willing to meet with them, adding:
the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which […]

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has written a letter to Senator Hillary Clinton in which he confirms that “planning is indeed taking place” at the Department of Defense for withdrawal from Iraq.
Talking Points Memo has a copy of the letter and a response from Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. The Gates letter comes in the wake […]

As I understand it, if you work for the Federal Government in Utah, your Internet connection filters out YouTube, so you’ll have to wait until you get home tonight. Sorry.

Ok. So there’s no proof this is George W. Bush of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, but it ain’t no Kalashnikov toting Jihadist, or some long-haired hippie in Berkley.
Whatever. It just a good thing Utah Senator Hatch’s flag protection amendment didn’t pass cause this would be a crime in Utah.

Today, in a speech at Charleston Air Force Base in South Carolina, President Bush continued to claim that American forces in Iraq are primarily fighting Al Qaeda terrorists. After making an unusually detailed series of false and misleading statements, he concluded:
I’ve explained the connection between al Qaida and its Iraqi affiliate. I presented intelligence […]

Friday night I volunteered with Crossroads Urban Center to work the food drive at the main Library’s Midnight Muggle Madness Harry Potter release party. There were entire families that arrived in costume (including one man dressed as Viktor Krum). I was struck by a number of families that were obviously dirt poor and […]

From author Ron Glasser on HuffPo, accusing the Bush administration of discouraging the awarding of medals earned in combat:
Each month we lose on average a battalion of soldiers, half of those killed or severely wounded. There is an astonishing amount of courage, bravery and commitment in Iraq and Afghanistan that has gone unrecognized and unappreciated […]
