Kwik update: we’re here!

Democratic National Convention - the day before:
After the typical flight delays, baggage claims hassles, and 96 hours straight of “awakeness”, we’re here in Denver - and although this kind of post , the “i just wanted to say we have nothing at the moment to say”- is generally kind of lame.
So for the moment I’d like to [...]

SOMETIMES THE ENQUIRER IS RIGHT or A How-To In Becoming A Media Consumer

admin @ August 10, 2008 # No Comment Yet

John Edwards brushing us off by using the catch phrase “supermarket tabloid” is somewhat ironic. In a supermarket at least 15,000 products line the shelves and coolers. We pick them up, read food labels, touch, squeeze, smell and sometimes sneak a sample before we buy. Are we less consumers of media? If you answered yes, then stop it. Stop it now. Become an educated consumer of media. Remember, if we don’t consume, we make cons of u and me.

Call to Action: General Strike Called for 9/11/08

admin @ July 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

More and more people are calling for a General Strike, for a way to withdraw our support from a system which seems heedless to the will of the people. Our governmental representatives treat
us as if “We the Rabble” are to be ignored. One group, vote strike, is doing incredible and
substantive work in calling for a General Strike on 9/11/08, with smaller strikes and economic boycotts between now and then.

I urge you to consider this call to a General Strike, the use of non-violent resistance. It is a time-honored technique, possible beginning with “Lysistrata,” and effectively used several times in the
past one hundred years.

Perhaps the only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is—to do nothing. That’s right, nothing.
To go on strike.

“SMUG”

admin @ July 3, 2008 # One Comment

What is smug? How do so few public figures display it? How does one achieve it? Perhaps for many smug is a defense mechanism hiding insecurity, but that can be said for many things. People are always over compensating with something to disguise the lack of something else. So when you look for smug, make sure it’s the real thing. The real Trebek/Conrad/Oprah/Pope smug. Am I being smug in the writing of this article? Maybe a little. Just remember, you have to fight smug with smug.
