It’s been another of those weeks.

One of those weeks where through no doing of my own, I’ve been subjected to debate after scandal, after f*cking annoying headline, on a topic upon which I’ve closed the book long ago. So, after much deliberation I’m going to post my take on things, so that hopefully everyone is so impressed by my wisdom and insight that they call it definitive and shut the f*ck up about it.

To all you far-right gay-hating conservatives; repeat after me:

“Gay people are good ─…

I like to examine both sides of an argument before I write an opinion, and while I fully admit I’m no expert, I do make the effort to make comparisons to history whenever possible before wading into the debate.

Lately however, I’ve found it rather difficult to get two sides of any political conversation. My more liberal sources are equitable enough, and internationally conservatives are quite willing to have intelligent conversation. But within the USA, every Republican with whom I could once have a respectable conversation has become a screaming four-year-old. Or, they immediately pull out…

As the deadline for this month’s column for Harlots’ Sauce Radio was fast approaching, I looked through my pantry for any number of prospective Political Hash posts, but found my cupboards bare, because these past few weeks the political scene has been uncharacteristically lacking in subjects about which I’ve felt inclined to write.

The impetus for my political writings has always been to either spark awareness about events that are displeasing me, or to come to terms with events and situations I don’t understand fully. I’ve no loyalty to any particular individual beyond the good they…

Someone Needs To Photoshop this Face on a Gay Porn Star Kevin Martin the Chair of the FCC is pushing that a chunk of the wireless spectrum auction this month to have stipulations of a porn filter.

Sounds kinda nice doesn’t it? You could have an internet connection that wouldn’t have any porn on it, good for the kids, saves bandwidth for more legitimate uses,…

Youth drives people, experience maintains them, but though some say that, “youth is wasted on the young,” I say that if we young-uns had the experience to “know better,” then we wouldn’t have the drive to try anything in the first place.

When I talk to older people about my beliefs that civil liberties should not be compromised, that net neutrality is vital, and that content piracy is a complex issue that shouldn’t be resolved by outlawing it outright, my words come from my desire to use the things I know to succeed in life.…

George Bush declares that Iran is the enemy of the US, and it is. But, it’s an enemy because the United States has made it so.

Since the 60’s the US has been meddling in Iranian affairs over oil without remorse. They’ve been trying to provoke Iran to attack them but this treatment is akin to a father bashing his five-year-old with the butt of his rifle in the hopes that the kid will stand up and take a swing.

In 1988, a United States destroyer, the USS Vinchennes, shot down an Iranian civilian…

Senator Joe Lieberman, in his capacity as chairman of the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee, has assigned gloomy homework to 16 federal agencies, asking them for full descriptions of their preparations in case of a nuclear device detonating on U.S. soil. It’s the nightmare  cenario, terrorists importing a nuclear weapon and setting it off in an American city. Therefore, the agencies will soon be receiving a letter from Lieberman and ranking Republican Senator. Susan Collins, asking them to answer a series of questions.

What annoys me is that all this is, is the fear mongering. It’s the…
