"Stuff that Actually Exists"

Oliver Willis on last night's speech and the reaction from the Left: It makes me feel weird, but in this instance I see many on the left absolutely playing to the stereotypes of the right. If we simply withdraw, this does not keep us safer. Just because George W. Bush royally screwed up as commander-in-chief, it doesn’t mean that America never fights again. Afghanistan isn’t Iraq. This isn’t about imaginary weapons of mass destruction, or a terror “connection” that’s the fevered dream of a hack Weekly Standard writer. Suicide bombers hit in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania directly based on the orders and finances of the people we’re after in Afghanistan and the Pakistani border region. I am not someone who is a kneejerk supporter of war and military action, but I feel that when we or our allies are under threat or have been attacked, we often need to respond militarily with a clear set of stated goals and an exit plan. The whole reason I didn’t support the war in Iraq but s...

Get Your Dunkin Monday

It was a wild and crazy weekend in sports and politics. Overall I was relaxed and enjoyed a nice time doing basic things I normally don't get to do, like hanging out with the lady and watching football. Alas others had a little crazier weekend covered in freedom flags and holding signs more disgusting than their discourse. I am talking about the right wing extremists known as the Tea Baggers *eliminationists. I caught some of the slop on CSPAN, but they never panned out to show the entire "two million" that attended. I am from DC and I know what a crowd looks like there when it reaches "two million" NOT EVEN CLOSE ! Amongst all the fail there was one brave man who with the help from local socialist police force members made a quiet yet poignant statement, had those cops not been there I am sure he would have been eaten alive. God Bless America and thank Jebus we have a President who is now realizing , these teabaggers want nothing to do with anything remotely...

Get Your Dunkin Friday

There will be a lot of different tributes today as we all remember Sept 11th . Many will show videos of the actual tragic events or do personal accounts, yet I am not sure anyone knows what it all means anymore. I have posted this song before with simply an acoustic version, Thrice is simply amazing in this performance and they accomplish what I always try to do myself when I write songs. It makes me think of the past eight years and wonder what are we doing? The White House is asking for a day of service while others want us to remember only the evil . I have been rather adamant that I feel we should move forward and that using 9/11 as a product has been to our detrimant, regardless we will never forget. And most likely we will always be divided on how to remember. Here are you highlights: Then and Now with Goofus and Gallant , Tom Tomorrow might be the best there is... If you recall the Republic Windows sit in then this CEO is real EVIL Dems Heckling Bush much different the Joe KKK...

9-11 Dot Com, Why Ground Zero is still a Vacant Lot

Officials announced that plans to fill the hole of the Twin Towers were stalled yet again . Some have said that it was a win for Al Qaeda, however I would argue it is another win for the Bush/Cheney administration. And further more a win for the Rovian politics of fear and as I like to call them the collective 9-11 dot com. We have now for the past eight years been reminded and reminded and reminded of 9-11. The horror, the terrorists, the fear, the tragedy, the families and the brown people ; they all have been part of our narrative since that day. It was the most tragic event on US soil. We know that and in case you missed it, you now know by the speeches of Bush, Cheney, Giuliani and all the talking heads on Faux News. Each one follows their reasoning and complete disdain for American values and the Constitution with the tag line 9-11 dot com. The Twin Towers were considered a symbol of all that Al Quaeda hated about America now they are symbolic of what America has become. There w...

Forget Guns It's 2009 Cling to 9/11

Image
On his first day Obama's Administration has made moves that could lead to the closing of Guantanamo Bay. And leave it to Fix News to report about September 11th victims families and their opinion about the closing of Torture Gitmo. Although it really isn't relevant because the torture was after 9/11 already happened. SOOOO? Well logic would say it didn't help anything to prevent the tragic event. It seems as though 9/11 as during the campaign of McCain and Repubs is the new clinging to "guns and religion." Wing-Nuttery: HOW DARE YOU!? OUTRAGE?! September 11th. Remember 9/11. Also you buy commerative NY Yankees hats, only $20 from me. Don't like hats? 9/11 watches, jewelry, Twin Towers tees and Giuliani bobble-heads too! 9/11 for $9.11 Please quit using 9/11 as a platform. It is a tragic event in history that effected everyone. Now onto who was President when that attack happened..... I am Frank Chow and FACT CHECK THIS!
