According to the large and impervious-to-reason 9/11 Truther crowd, Al Qaeda is pretty much a fictional construct of the neocons. A hapless bogeyman concocted by the sinister BusHitler and friends, a.k.a. “the powers that be” (TPTB), to scare the “sheeple” into surrendering their freedoms. Side Note: If you’re ever reading a blog post and the […]
. . . a.k.a. Jon Stewart’s “Fear of Sanity” festival. A big turnout, (though not quite as big as Glenn Beck’s event) is not surprising.

Actually the entire year hasn’t exactly been a leisurely float through the “It’s a Small World” exhibit at Disneyland. Come […]
The duct tape on the presidential seal is a brilliant touch.
Please permit me one last, long, self-indulgent post about Dad. What follows is a few words about the circumstances of his home-going; The eulogy I delivered at his service yesterday; And the then a short video tribute.
