Another introduction

Hmm, I should probably go ahead and introduce myself, after all this time. Hi! My name is James Renken. I own and operate Sandwich.Net, I’m the lead administrator for Improfanfic and .hack//INFO, and I’m working towards applying to law school for Fall 2004. I’m a linguist by education and a UNIX system administrator by profession, […]

And I believe this speaks for itself.

11Sep01 Report Preview

Michael Isikoff of Newsweek has a preview of the September 11 intelligence report. Tasty morsel from the second paragraph:
The long-delayed 900-page report also contains potentially explosive new evidence suggesting that Omar al-Bayoumi…may have been a Saudi-government agent…In January 2000, al-Bayoumi had a meeting at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles–and then went directly to a […]

God help us all

I was flipping through the TV stations and saw a picture of Gregory Palast’s book _The Best Democracy Money Can Buy_ on Fox News. Of all stations. Fox was going to be interviewing Palast. I stopped, figuring this had to be interesting. It was more interesting than I could have imagined.
The Gregory Palast interview started […]

Here we have an interview with Pat Robertson, in which he prays for the death of liberalism in the United States Supreme Court.
Literally.
Tang pointed this out to some of us a couple of days ago, and it seems to be gathering momentum. The interview above has Mr. Robertson tripping over his own inconsistencies amusingly […]

George W. Bush and his cronies have fucked over this country and several others over the last two and a half years. Between tax cuts for the wealthy, warmongering, “enemy combatant detainees,” Patriot, ANWR, John Ashcroft and shamelessly promoting the Church of the Holy 9/11 Blood Martyrs, I thought they’d managed to hit all the […]

It has nothing to do with politics, but…

The name of this blog is “Live from the Nuke Free Zone”, after Berkeley’s declaration that it was a Nuclear Free Zone. (When I get a chance, I’ll take a picture of one of the signs.)
Anyway, I’m hunting for an apartment in the Nuke Free Zone area…but the best one I’ve seen so far […]

What are your sources on that? You had better double check them. The Poison Kitchen could never have had a “Be Ari Fleischer For A Day” contest if the supposed contest would end July 25, because that would be ten days from now and not “A Day”, therefore it’s ridiculous for you to suggest that […]

Sobering…

Kos has a picture from Iraq up, and I urge you all to go take a look at it, and read the text.
Three hundred seconds. That’s five minutes. Five minutes to go from living breathing human being to dead meat. And it’s sad, considering the web of lies that got them there […]

More on Uraniumgate

CIA Director George Tenet may have fallen on his sword for including the State of the Union, but the story ain’t over yet:
CIA Director George J. Tenet successfully intervened with White House officials to have a reference to Iraq seeking uranium from Niger removed from a presidential speech last October, three months before a less […]
