I have to be honest. Despite my line of work, I still haven’t entirely quaffed the wiki kool-aid. Blogging is one thing, but something about a reference source that’s editable by anybody makes me a little wary. John Seigenthaler, Sr.’s story only reinforces that wariness.
“John Seigenthaler Sr. was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy […]
I’m not even going to ask for captions on this Yahoo photo from the recent protests in Crawford, TX. The caption supplied by Yahoo pretty much says it all.
Michael Rowe, 12, of Ft. Hood, Texas, takes part in a rally in support of President Bush near the President’s ranch on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 in […]
Wasn’ t it just a few months ago that we were marking another morbid milestone of the Iraq war, as the number of U.S. casualties passed 1,500? Well, brace yourself. We’re about to hit 2,000.
How many more U.S. soldiers and Iraqis must give their lives before our government finally admits that the war against Iraq […]
But the question is, whose truth and how much?
Found this via Karmalized, and then found this, both in reference to this.
As I’ve said before, it’s interesting what you find off the beaten paths of the blogosphere.

Who’s winning the “war on terror” on the PR front? Well…
There are a couple of items out there that suggest that the U.S. is still fighting an uphill battle. It hard not to feel at little sorry for Bush’s new “PR czar” Karen Hughes (hard, not impossible) after she got a drubbing at the hands […]
I think Dave Pell has kinda misread this Christopher Hitchens piece that blasts the anti-war protesters for…uh…not being pro-war enough, as near as I can tell. Betwee all the blustering — you can almost see the spittle that must have collected on Hitchen’s monitor as he wrote this piece — and accusing the protester of […]
I’ve been catching up on articles about yesterday’s anti-war marches in D.C. and elswhere, as well as bits about the counter protesters, and there’s recurring theme that’s occurred to me, though I didn’t get it until I red this editorial from the Orange County Register.
Ms. Sheehan’s statements have sometimes gone beyond understandable […]
As I was catching up on the news this afternoon, something jumped out at me in this Washington Post article about the counter-protestors at yesterday’s anti-war march in D.C.
Deb Meyer of South Bend, Ind., was standing next to Ellsworth and holding a picture of her son Jason, who was killed April 8, 2003, in Iraq. […]
Alas, we didn’t make it to the march. We’ve been running around doing errands and stuff in Maryland. (Besides, the hubby is going to a rally tomorrow to keep the Moral Majority folks out Montgomery County Schools — where Parker will be going when he’s old enough.) But I did find this picture on the […]
This has been blogged about almost everywhere since yesterday, so I didn’t cover it. But then a reader sent me a link. If you haven’t seen it already, head over to Crooks and Liars to see Phil Donahue administer a truly beautiful smackdown to Bill O’Reilly, on O’Reilly’s own show. You can also read the […]
In that last post, I linked to an article about a poll showing than fewer than half of Americans think the war in Iraq is winnable. I cited that one because I couldn’t locate another piece that showed how many people support ending — or at least starting to end — the war in […]
Wow.
The survey also found that Sheehan, who has been protesting the war outside Bush’s ranch near Crawford, Tex., has become the most visible symbol of the anti-war movement. Fully three in four Americans have heard or read about her.
Sheehan met last year with Bush at an event for military families and has been seeking […]
Why isn’t this apparently able-bodied 19-year-old in Iraq instead of Crawford?
Hey, if Michael Savage can say that people who oppose the war should be in internment camps, I can ask why this kid and others like him aren’t in Iraq right now.
Truthout video of the war party protestors in Crawford, via AntiWar.Com blog. […]
And I’m talking about his mouth, not his politics (as in " Indecent; risqué". I’m sure it’s been written and posted about elsewhere, but a reader sent me a link to this recent article containing a passage about one of Bush’s "blue" outbursts at his aides, concerning meeting with Cindy Sheehan.
While President George W. Bush […]
Looks like Baez came through.
Folk singer Joan Baez has joined anti-war protesters near US President George W. Bush’s ranch to meet military families who want troops pulled out of Iraq. "You know in the first march I went on against the war in Vietnam there were 10 of us," Baez […]
