Why was the 1st Amendment FIRST, you ask? Let's think about it. The First Amendment, along with the other 9 of the Bill of Rights, takes certain things outside of political debate. The 2d says you can't take guns away from state-organized militias (note the careful wording). The 5th guarantees due process. The 8th protects against cruel and unusual punishment. The 9th guarantees

Today I had to come home from work to get some stuff I forgot for an appellate brief I was working on... I actually fell asleep working last night. I went over to see a new horse boarding across the street. It was sort of skittish, so I gave it the heads of some carrots so I could touch it -- I was later told that the owner never comes to see it, so it's unsocialized. Anyway, while I'm doing

Where have all the bloggers gone?

2006-03-18T08:10:00.000-05:00

Have you ever "Googled" "Blog?" I have to say, as ironic as it is for me to say it on a blog, that I'm a little bit frightened by this whole "Blogosphere" thing. First, most people have no reason with respect to blogging. Either you don't know what a blog is, or you are involved in 5 at a time. Second, people actually expect others to read every damn line of every blog they do. Third people

Well Bush II Made a proclimation in recognizing National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month. Firstly I think this comes a few decades short for the intellectually dimwit but hey, whatever. Additionally, doesn't it seem like they just keep adding more words to group/agency names and all. I suppose Drunk OR Drugged Driving is now OK just so long as you are not Drunk AND Drugged. Come on

Another funny/irrevrent piece from the Onion. Is anyone else heartbroken/pissed off out there. Such an odd mix of emotions that's not fully captured by the satire, but it's pretty close none the less. Mexico is sending convoys of troops to the US. Norway is now the best country on Earth. Budweiser finally is honest in it's labeling. What the hell is going on people?

You greedy, self-serving, moronic, born-again, racist little fuck.As you put so eloquently in a speech of yours, "as long as you are President" we will remain in Iraq, perhaps now is the time for that to change.

Well, while Canada may lose a piece of British Columbia to the United States our gentler neighbors to the north are trying to wrest from Denmark a little chunk of land refered to as Hans Island. Put into perspective this may not seem like much, losing some pothead's garage and gaining a chunk of frozen beer cooler, but leave it up to the Canuckians to plow the long row, may your maple leaf always

It appears to have really taken off in the 50's. First was the forcible insertion of religion into the pledge by the Knights of Columbus and McCarthyism in 1954. Then, in 1955, the term, In God We Trust, became part of all printed money, and became our National Motto in 1956. All of this seems like it was a response to godless communism, and a cultural way for Americans to fight against the

At 25 Megatons, it's 20 miles for 95% of the population between the 5psi and 2psi rings. It's 9 feet from the intake of an idling F/A-18. Ouch, looks like this hurts. Guess he should read this blog.

The Subservient Chicken Website. Give the chicken orders, make it do your bidding. Is this really an advertising site for BK? Slate seems to think so. I just find it bizarre--though the garter belt is a nice touch.

Filthy lies!

Wondering what lies will be central to W's performance in tomorrow's debate? Paul Krugman throws a little reality-check to 8 likely contenders in today's New York Times. Tip of the blogging cap to our friends at The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, who disseminated the info on the Krugman piece through the secret left-wing communication system. (So secret that The Malcontent cannot reveal its name,

Hey, this Evil GOP Bastards site is kind of fun. So is this one about republican liar Joe Scarborough, who may have crushed his aide's skull back in 2001. I'm sure Joe will be turning up on the Sinclair network soon.

A tough job

2004-10-12T14:25:00.000-04:00

Since no one else here at MSD is doing it, I guess I'll have to blog about the utter douchery of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Apparently the Slimy Butthole Gangsters are planning to run a Swift Boat-esque video on all 62 of their shitty little stations. Just before the election. God damn that liberal media. There's tons more info at lots of other places, so I'll leave the rest up to you. As I

I have some gmail invites. Holla in comments if you want one. Don't know if you want one? Keep this in mind, I'm storing 300 megabytes worth of mp3s in my account, and so far, gmail hasn't given me any problems. Try and do that with your 2MB juno account. Punk.

Save the Benz, and still back Bush

For all those owners of luxury automobiles out there who really want to put a Bush bumper sticker on you car, but don't wanna ruin you car with the permanent stench of conservativeism try the BUSH/CHENEY Magnetic Bumper Stickers $2.99. Also is works well when W gets his ass handed to him November 2, remove it the following Wednesday morning.

Beastie Boys- Technology and Politics

2004-10-10T10:41:00.000-04:00

The Beastie Boys show on Friday in Fairfax was great. If you want a full review, you can check my personal blog, AnonymousCoworker. On MSD I'm going to get into some of the cool technology that was being used at the show, as well as some of the politics. On the technology front, there were 2 cool things going on. Actually, one cool thing and one very very cool thing. First, Mix Master Mike had

Lawyer ADDICTED to exposing himself

2004-10-08T13:54:00.000-04:00

ACW, thought you'd like to see this follow up to your September post on the lawyer-flasher. Turns out the behavior even more serious than the earlier reports. He also liked to touch his victims. As you might expect, he turned out to be a Republican. Just like Rush Limbaugh, he blames his criminal activity on an "addiction." I'm sure his defense counsel's closing statement went something

The Rude Pundit: Proudly Lowering the Level of Political Discourse He says what I'm thinking: If, at tonight's "town hall debate," when Kerry is asked, "What did you mean in the last debate by 'global test'?", he doesn't answer, "You have got to be motherfucking kidding me, ma'am." He goes on, and it's quite nice actually.

I found this statement at the end of an email message: "Under Bill s.1618 Title III passed by the 105th U.S. Congress this mail cannot be considered Spam as long as we include contact information." I haven't yet taken the time to check to see if that statement is accurate, but for some reason when I saw it, I got the jibblies. UPDATE: I found this in a PDF at USInfo: "In the 105th Congress,

Reading between the lines, Ashcroft has decided to get more involved in stopping Americans from buying drugs in Canadian Internet pharmacies and cracking down on kids sharing music. Know what he means by "new investigative tools"? That's right. Searches and wiretaps without judicial oversight, even if the FBI knows beforehand that you haven't committed a crime. Here's a nice summary of the

Nader Boat Veterans for Lies

2004-10-07T10:50:00.000-04:00

I frequently chide some people *cough* mokiejovis *cough* for voting for Bush in the 2000. They can explain why in comments. I voted for Nader, and frequently get chided for it. My argument was, people didn't follow the rules. Swing states were supposed to vote Gore. Strong red states would vote Nader and strong blue states would vote Nader. That way, no votes for Gore would be "wasted." Well,

Last night big ol' Dickhead Cheney urged viewers/listeners to check out factcheck.com. Unfortunately, I think he meant factcheck.org, whose top headline last night was: Bush Mischaracterizes Kerry's Health Plan Bush claims Kerry's plan puts "bureaucrats in control" of medical decisons, "not you, not your doctor." But experts don't agree with that. For now, the .org site is down. I encourage you

Here's your chance to let the world know which VP candidate you thought performed better in the debate. This is a fairly comprehensive list of post-debate polls in which you can cast your vote. Support your candidate! Unless it's lying Bush or egomaniac Nader, in which case, just finish your special ed homework and head off to bed.

I'm a cynical guy. This smells very political to me. It's particularly amusing following the debate last week, the one b/w the VPS coming up, and the next one on Friday. I want an open forum debate. I would looooove to be there for one of those.
