Note: This is cross-posted over at the Cheshire Town Post. I’ll often be doing that. This is still my primary blog for local or political issues. The CTP is an open forum for everyone, and over there I’m just another poster (or, I will be once people get used to writing their own posts).
Two days [...]
Please drop by to visit, and register for, The Cheshire Town Post . It’s an open forum where residents provide all the content. Councilman Tim White’s blog, Tim White Listens, has done a great job of bringing Cheshire together for discussion. In that tradition, I am hosting the Cheshire Town Post in order to provide [...]
Some of you may have seen this house. Follow the example!
A poster on your property is a starting point — people will see it and they’ll want to know more. Be sure to only post these on your own property. My thanks go to Al Sanders for providing the signs, the pictures in this post, [...]
Cheshire, we’re getting screwed.
A handful of local developers have stitched themselves into the political fabric of this town. For years they’ve used their pull to shape Cheshire as one might design a product or grow a brand. People have come for the schools, the very visible and very charming pockets of farmland, the tree-lined low-crime [...]
I just caught the rebroadcast of the Lil’ Bush premier. Lil’ Condi has a crush on GW, Lil’ Cheney gets lodged in an undisclosed location, and they all visit Halliburton-Land. How could I not love it? Here are a few screenshots:
Has the glittery-one yet batted a lash in the direction of Lil’ Condi? Notice the [...]
I’m sick of consolidated corporate media bowing to the dollar while the country goes to hell for a lack of information. For hours MSNBC ran this headline (It’s also the current cover of Newsweek (in the U.S. at least)):
I ranted about this already on my art blog, but I think there’s reason enough to repeat:

A Connecticut rush-hour rally in the center of Hamden managed a very impressive crowd today. Organized by MoveOn.org, the gathering was one of many across the country in response to Bush’s ridiculous call last night for more of the same in Iraq. According to CBS, support for an escalation is in the teens, and it [...]
Last night I did a 15 minute show on Blog Talk Radio. I’m just testing the waters. The archive quality is poor, but the show is posted.
I’ll be back on for a longer (one hour?) show tomorrow. I’m a complete amateur, but there are crooks still in office or barely out the door or begging [...]
Writers have always been a vanguard for positive change in the face of political injustice — the same goes for visual artists. On the web, I think that writers/bloggers helping to write us out of this mess have leapt forward so far that the visual artists have yet to catch up. I suppose a lot [...]
Last week Air Force secretary Michael Wynne charmed the nation when he suggested that high-tech non-lethal weapons should be tested in domestic crowd-control situations before using them overseas.
RJ Eskow, blogging for the Huffington Post, warns that the situation is, “worse than we heard … much worse.” He’s right. We’re talking about torture. We’re also talking [...]
