Phil Ochs was really, really good.
Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I’ve grown older and wiser
And that’s why I’m turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal
Ireland’s “Crack” Habit – Explaining the faux Irish pub revolution. By Austin Kelley
I think the local Jack Quinn’s falls into this category, a Craic House.
Update on Evangelism at the U.S. Air Force Academcy : Melbourne Indymedia
I did a google on MRFF and discovered that I didn’t really need to hear about the Moroccan Royal Football Federation or the Midwest Regional Fun Fly or the Mongolian Rugby Football Federation.
So I googled “Military Religious Freedom Foundation” and got surprisingly few hits. Evidently, MRFF has just gotten organized and hasn’t established a web presence yet. But the Aussies seemed to have heard about it first. Amazing how small our world is becoming.
A quote from the Mikey’s Army article grabbed my attention:
Like many of the foundation’s members, Bragman says the current political climate in the United States is alarming. Many members of Congress don’t want to be perceived as anti-Christian or anti-religion. Bragman says he’s not surprised that the Bush government “is getting away with so much.”
These Congressmen that don’t want to be perceived as “anti-Christian” or “anti-religion” would rather be perceived as anti-American. And why not, those very same Americans keep voting them back into office.
CSIndy: Mikey’s Army (March 9, 2006)
This is a continuation of last week’s article. Interestingly, I went by my local spot to get the Independent this past Monday and it was all gone. I stopped at several other stores that carry the Independent over the next few days and couldn’t find a copy. I wonder where they went?
The CSIndy comes out on Thursdays and I usually stop by the local store and get my copy Thursday evening. I didn’t do that last Thursday and wasn’t able to get tothe store until Monday evening. Now, normally, this store still has some copies of the CSindy in stock until Wednesday. This must have been a really popular issue.
CSIndy: Mikey’s Mission (March 2, 2006)
Our local weekly newpaper is doing an interesting article on the AFA religious fight. Best of luck to Mikey.
From Oath of office – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other officials, including members of Congress, it specifies they “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this constitution.” At the start of each new U.S. Congress, in January of every odd-numbered year, those newly elected or re-elected Congressmen – the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate – must recite an oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
I wonder if we could try the entire Congress for malfeasance?

My nice laid-out page is a-scrambled.
I think I am in for a long weekend.
And where’s the spillchecker?
So upgrading Jack’s site wasn’t quite as successful. Oh well, at least everything works.
