Yahoo! News – True Love’s Christmas Gifts Costs Increase
PITTSBURGH – Forget the partridge in a pear tree. How about a new Jaguar, a BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes-Benz or a 1949 Rolex? The vintage watch and luxury cars would cost as much as all the gifts listed in the yuletide classic “The Twelve Days of [...]
I am astonished. If this is true, than France has discovered a vaccine for one of the worst plagues of the twentieth century. I hope to God (and please, do pray to whatever deity, rock, being, or apparition to which you do such things) that this is true and leads to an end [...]

Buy Nothing Day not catching on real well
By The Associated Press
(11/27/04 – PORTLAND, OR)
It may take quite some time to catch on.
A group of activists calling themselves “culture jammers” are pushing “Buy Nothing Day,” even as shoppers stampede stores and malls.
Their protests in Portland, Oregon, didn’t even [...]
I chuckle whenever I hear it. Most liberal americans would love us to be more like Europe. Ask them; they’ll tell you. They think we should mimic their failing national healthcare systems that require the citizens to be taxed out the ass. They think we’d be better off with a more [...]

Tonight was supposed to be the night I got the protest juices going again. The plan was simple… I would go down to Union Square and join in the monthly Critical Mass ride. I had heard about the police harassment at these rides, and wanted to check it out for myself.

Have some turkey, watch some football, thank God for everything that matters to you.
Most of all, say a prayer for those of us who couldn’t be here this Thanksgiving. They’re there so you can be here. As you carve the bird, drink the wine, and chit chat with family, don’t forget that.
