Truth, Justice, and the American Way

Are online advertisers getting desperate? I don’t know, but I’ve clicked on more text ads in the last two months, than all the ad banners combined. Collectrix is soon going to provide our own text-ad service, so let me know if you know of a good ad-management system.

Take a look at the following email I sent to the GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) team. I encourage my readers to send similar emails to organizations or websites that put up "no war" banners.

EPA agents are being used a personal servants, more proof that Saddam worked with Bin Laden, my former economics proffesor Dr Reynolds on his experience at the Dept of Labor, and a very informative interview of Victor Davis Hanson about Iraq, education, and left/right bias in universities.

Thanks to Hootinan for this photo of 18-year-old Ahmed Khatib, who blew himself up for Allah. He’s misinterpreting the "peaceful nature of Islam", right? Some people would beg to differ. Any religion can be used to justify violence and oppression—once people are brainwashed into believing that their own senses and reason are [...]

Last year, I bought an IBM keyboard from CyberRebate, which sold stuff at many times the cost of rebate value, promising to give you a 100% rebate in exchange for paying many times the actual worth of the stuff it sold. If that sounds like a pyramid scheme, it was, and CyberRebate went bankrupt (over [...]

Thanks to Keenan for this and this story of modern art being used as a torture device. Now it’s obvious to everyone but pretensions snobs that modern art is garbage, but it turns out that the Spanish nationalists actually used it to torture prisoners. If share my strong feelings about modern art, you [...]

Check out today’s Cox and Forkum on the topic of my earliest post. Then read Turning Iraq Into Another Iran. Also interesting is an acount of media bias at Hootinan.

Michael Moore is a big fat liar. Take away his Oscar, and don’t forget:

Yes, Fox reporters are so popular that they have their own fan sites, and Jennifer looks pretty "fair" and balanced to me Any day now, Iraqi women are going to riot against having such good-looking American women walking around without rags on their heads…(Thanks, StarsnStripes)

Drumming their chests and whipping their backs, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shi’ite Muslims swarmed through the holy city of Kerbala on Tuesday on a pilgrimage suppressed for decades by Saddam Hussein. Marking one of the most important events of their year, some men slashed their heads with knives and left bloody wounds in a [...]

LGF reports that hundreds of millions of dollars were found in Iraq by US soldier, who stubmled upon the money hidden in sealed-up cottages in an upper class Baghdad neighborhood. CNN reporters are currently debating whether the money was destined for Iraqi civilians or the dismantling of WMD’s. In other news, new evidence shows [...]

Here is a snippet of irony from my daily life: I am on various Objectivist listserves from which I recieve regular emails via Yahoo Groups. The emails are often headed by advertisements which as of lately have been dominated by religious merchandise. So every time I open an email to read articles like [...]

The original purpose of this blog was to comment on various web-design tricks and technologies as I explored them, but since it has turned out to be a forum for my political and philosophical rants, I decided to start a new web-design oriented blog. Check out the inagural entry on Google.

The power went out in College Station last week, and Texas A&M shut down for the day as the stop lights in the entire city died (see the photo I took above.) Moments after my power died, I heard the generator in the private dorm come on, while the rest of the city remained dark. [...]

I’m going down to Mexico for a day, so excuse my lapse of entries, y ruegue que no consiga la venganza de Montezuma. Muchas fotos que vienen pronto!Update: Check out the various photos I took along the way.

Check out my letter to the school paper today: Gaines Memorial Would be a Tribute to Racism. Here is the original story.

Check out my latest editorial, In Defense of Fast Food, inspired by this article: Anti-War Leaders Fear US Fast Food Threat to Iraq (Thanks to Dakach for the original story.)

Oh, speaking of Stupid Stuff Liberals Say, here is a prediction a liberal I was debating sent out shortly before the war:"Let it be known [that] the people of Iraq will do everything in their power to keep our government and armed forces out. Women and children will take arms protecting their land from [...]

Leonard Peikoff recently gave a speech at the Ford Hall forum titled "America Versus Americans." I’m not going to summarize it, because you should watch it yourself. Several points stood out. First, while it’s easy to get wrapped up in the outpouring of support for the war coming from moderates and conservatives, we have to [...]
