Saying what you feel

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on February 7, 2003). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Y’know, sometimes, whether or not it’s polite, whether or not it’s “politically correct,” you just need to say what you feel, in all its uncensored glory.

To the so-called “authors” of the report that much of Colin Powell’s recent address to the UN was based on, for plagarizing the majority of the paper from a twelve year old academic paper detailing Iraq’s strengths and capabilities at the time of the (original) Gulf War:

Fuck you.

To the representatives introducing a bipartisan resolution to rein in Bush and repeal the “blank check” he has for the Iraqi invasion:

Thank you.

To the multutudes of news organizations around the country who would rather continue to help Bush wag the dog than run this story and let the American people know that some of their elected representatives, Republican and Democrat alike, are concerned about Bush’s actions and trying to reinstate some limits:

Fuck you.

To the Bush administration, the justice department, and Ashcroft’s staff, for drafting a mindbogglingly expanded ‘Patriot Act II’ that makes the sweeping damages to personal liberty and freedom of the original Patrot Act look like childs play:

Fuck you.

To Kirsten, who I figured would have a lot to say and would say it well once she entered the blogging world, for proving me oh-so-correct:

You rock. R – A – W – K, RAWK!
