Liberal blog, religion blog, spirituality blog, Swami Uptown, Jesse Kornbluth's weblog for Beliefnet -- Beliefnet.com: "Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war,
I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term,
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.
-- 'The 23rd Sigh,' now making its way around the Web"

Hullabaloo

Hullabaloo: "LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded 'safety net' to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations,defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles."

Paging Anne Fank....

: "How did it start, Anne? I really need to know this. When the Germans first came. When did you and your father see it for what it really was?
You didn't have television, I know, but were radio programs censored? Did you assume that the silence of your advocates was a strategy - that they were choosing their battles wisely? Did you think that the majority of your neighbors would never let it happen? Did you ignore the hateful rhetoric as the ravings of a few extremists? Did you think if you stayed you would help to keep things sane? And when they took away your civil liberties, did you think, 'That's okay. We have nothing to hide, anyway, this is targeting the criminals.'
Did you think to yourselves, 'We can march in the streets when it really gets bad.' And when it did get bad, did your rich save themselves, and your advocates become fearful and silent, and were your leaders arrested as extremists?
And when they took some away, the gypsies and the homosexuals and the political agitators, without trial or explanation, did you think, 'Well, they must be bad people - and if they are not, they will be set free'? And did you think, 'this is keeping us safer, in the end.' When you realized there were more, did you stay quiet because you thought it would end? Or because you didn't want them to hear you?
Anne, you once wrote ''I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are still truly good at heart..."
Anne, is that why you are dead?

Trying out somethign new

WTF? 

Wilkommen Sie

Well, it's a start. Content will be slim, mostly news- and movie-related, and will trend toward savagely ironic. I don't really have anything interesting to say, I just feel like fooling around. Things most likely will not make any sense. I blame God.
