Swift-Boating Clinton on 9/11 is Scummy
Tell ABC: 9/11 Lies and Propaganda are Unacceptable! Blame Clinton, let Bush off the hook? Anyone who has done the least bit of research into what happened on 9/11 should know better. See Clinton, 9/11 and the Facts, and it’s not only Democrats who are objecting to this thing. Follow the money… Who bankrolled the $40 million for the show? Comment if you know. Max Blumental’s article suggests some possibilities: “The Path to 9/11” is produced and promoted by a…
Crumbs for the Bottom, Banquets for the Top

One nation controlled by the media. Information age of hysteria. It’s calling out to idiot America. – American Idiot, Green Day
JW District Convention Invitation Received

For the second time this week, I received a home-delivered invitation to the District Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The first was delivered when we weren’t home.
