I Be Proud

I Be Proud 04/24/2004 01:52 AM
You know, I don't talk about her much online (only because I respect her right to anonymity), but I'm really proud of what my girlfriend is doing this weekend. She's far from a militant, but she flew to Washington DC tonight to march for Women's Lives this Sunday. She's not even THAT political, so this decision kinda shocked me. Still, I support her rights and belief system. I'm not very happy with the way everybody learned about her, either; she deserved a better introduction. Those who know her know her well. Those who don't... are certain to post something innane in the comments thread....

Proud to be Canadian! 07/06/2004 11:22 PM
Illegally imprison children for 13 years, make them do degrading things, deny them food to the point of degrading them further, force them as teenagers to wear diapers, tie them up, even give them mental problems! Get 9 months in a prison yourself. That's an expense rate of just about 17 : 1! Why not come to Canada and enjoy these exceedingly low rates today before they're gone?

Bill Clinton is "a little scared, but not much" of bypass surgery. Good for him. We need to make it safe to admit to honest fear. If that makes me a girlie man, then I take it as an accolade. Besides, while only 1-2% of bypass patients die, that's a lot higher risk than I'm facing today (knock wood, salt over the shoulder, and plant a smacker on Arnold's muscular lips)....

« Nathan Wood, Marine LCpl age 19, in Kirkland, WA. »

Aaron Huey sent me this photo that is featured on Sunday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer's front page and asked that I share it. My father was a Marine in the signal corps in one of those wars few remember and even fewer remember what the war was about. Fortunately, he didn't come home in a box as this teenager did. There just aren't words that describe what war is really all about better than a single picture. War is death. Death of people you know and love. Something to think about this week as families come together for Thanksgiving, some with an empty chair or two at the table.

I took this photo yesterday at the funeral of Nathan Wood, Marine LCpl age 19, in Kirkland, WA. Nathan was killed November 9 in Fallujah. His best friend, Garrett Ware, also a marine fighting in Falluja, was injured and sent home with a purple heart. In this image Garrett hugs Nathan's father, Rex Wood, at the funeral in Kirkland yesterday.

Proud to be a Californian

Proud to be a Californian 03/20/2003 08:32 AM
The NYT has an interesting article by Dean E. Murphy today, Move to War Leaves Some Feeling Alienated, that does a reasonable job of conveying how differently Bush and his war are seen out on the West Coast, where anti-war protests of all kinds have already started. There are some nice quotes from Warren Langley, Air Force Lt. Colonel (Ret), former president of the Pacific Stock Exchanges, and prominent anti-war protester. The article is mostly true to my perceptions, although I don't know anything about the feelings in Hollywood which Murphy seems entranced by. We Californians certainly don't seem to feel as insecure and as ready to compromise our liberties as some of the people I have talked to on the East Coast seem to be, and we seem to be less susceptible to the canard that we need to "rally around the President". As the article points out, some of that is probably due to the fact that we were a long way away from the 911 attacks, and we didn't feel ourselves as targets as viscerally as people on the East Coast did. Another part of it is that as a state, we voted strongly against Bush, and we were punished for doing so by the FERC allowing Enron and the other energy trading and production companies to rig our power distribution system, so that our electric bills have doubled or tripled. We are also suffering from a ongoing recession, as the bust from the dot com boom continues into its third year without letup. Maybe all those reasons explain why we are, on the whole, less mesmerized by Bush's lies than the rest of the nation. Or maybe it is just because we are wacky Californians, the place on the map where all the loose marbles stop. Or maybe we are starting another trend, as we so often do. In any case, for once I'm proud to be a Californian.
