I am participating in this blogger action, in a limited way. I’m not following directions, which would be to replace my entire front page with the single word “Impeach.” I am participating in this more limited fashion because we don’t have the congressional votes for an impeachment process and I think there are actually even more important issues to work on. In the November election, we ought to be proposing solutions to this octopus-armed disaster that the Bush administration has…
Keith Olbermann’s answer to Rumsfeld – a much more eloquent argument than my own. Nicely done, and thank you! Feeling morally, intellectually confused? The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack. Donald H. Rumsfeld is not a prophet.

Enter a domain name in the search box (for example: “Yahoo.com” or “AboutUs.org”) and see what comes up! I discovered I was already listed, so I did fix a couple of things on the virushead page. http://www.aboutus.org/VirusHead.net However, it’s…
I was looking at my dissertation today, wondering if I can yet make a readable book out of it. Now that I’ve got a little distance from what was an agonizing process (at least until the last bit, when I actually started enjoying it), it seems better than I thought at the time. Today I’m posting a very select few of the quotations I used as a kind of shorthand that helps me remember the train of thought that’s at…
