Dear News Agencies
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Wed, 07/25/2007 - 15:02.I don't want to go to your poorly designed, ad ridden, ajax ruined websites. I want to read your news by RSS. I want to READ your news via rss, not just read the title and the first sentence.
I'm sure you do this to try and force us back to your site so you can bombard us with ads. Let me explain something to you. I, like most smart internet users, use AdBlock, so I never see your annoying ads. Second I'll use a different news source's RSS if you keep your crappy format.
See I don't need you anymore. Information is no longer in the strangle hold of the MSM. There are 1000's of news sources who will filter out your corporatist crap and present me only what I want in my news, information!
See I don't support you because, well honestly I think you suck and have long out lasted your usefulness.
In other words, change or be chastised.
A Quote
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Tue, 07/24/2007 - 06:15.I recall the story of the philosopher and the theologian. The two were engaged in disputation and the theologian used the old quip about a philosopher being like a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat—which wasn't there. "That may be," said the philosopher; "but a theologian would have found it."
—Julian Huxley

Atheist in Congress
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Sun, 06/03/2007 - 04:41.This is old news but I've never written about it.
A few months ago Pete Stark "came out of the closet" as an nontheist. He is a Democratic Representative from California's 13th.
From Wikipedia:
Stark is the first openly nontheistic member of Congress, as announced by the Secular Coalition for America.[1] Stark, who has represented San Francisco's East Bay since 1973, acknowledged his nontheism in response to an SCA questionnaire sent to public officials in January 2007. In a statement, Stark said he is a "Unitarian who does not believe in a supreme being. I look forward to working with the Secular Coalition to stop the promotion of narrow religious beliefs in science, marriage contracts, the military and the provision of social service."

Impeach Gonzales!
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Thu, 05/31/2007 - 16:18.I'm not one to think we should impeach people lightly, or for political reasons, but this is clearly an instance where it is necessary. He has really messed up, and clearly broken the law.

More distasters from "netroots" candidates
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 14:55.Today on TechPresident The Battle to Control Obama's Myspace.
My Thoughts:
What they did is practically stealing. A supporter put in lots of his own hours to support a candidate he was passionate about and when the Obama campaign got grabby he gave a very reasonable offer. They continued to be greedy and used a loop hole to steal from Joe. Disgraceful!
Obama's campaign is arrogant to think they have any right to Joe's fan page.
First Edwards blogger nightmare, now Obama's stolen MySpace page... do any of these "populist" "netroots" candidates have any understanding or respect for the tools and the people that are making them popular?
MoveOn.org Virtual Town Hall
Submitted by IrnBru001 on Thu, 04/12/2007 - 16:23.MoveOn.org had a Virtual Town Hall with the '08 Presidential hopefuls. I wasn't able to participate but all the "videos" and a summary is available on Campaign for America's Future's blog, Common Sense.
I'll be listening to the audio at work today!
