Week Ending 28 December

The holiday season is almost OVER! This week's Advent theme was "Joy"

Earthquakes

You'd think that as a Californian, I'd be used to earthquakes and I am. So used to them in fact that I didn't even really notice the one we had on Monday. Until Irwin emailed me and Puppy rang up, I thought it was a lorry driving fast on the bridge next to my building...

(Vegan) Christmas Miracle

For years I've suspected that the US Beef Industry has been hiding the level of disease they pump into the American food supply. This week the first admitted case of BSE, or Mad Cow Disease was reported in Washington State. Shares of McDonalds "Restaurants" and other fast food chains sank on the news. Why would I call this a Christmas Miracle? It's miraculous in that people will be forced to examine their diets and dependence on the pain and suffering of other sentient beings. Plus, no one has died yet, though the disease does have a long incubation period...

Winter Solstice

I basically did most of my Solstice celebrating last Friday night. But you can read the highlights on the holiday's page in my events section...

Norad Tracks Santa Claus

I can't believe how slick this site is. I love that their past highlights only cover Stonehenge and San Francisco. Obviously our government will stop at nothing to lie about their activities. The most curious thing about this is the multi-lingual aspect of the site, but I suppose that reflects Canada's influence...

Christmas

My pal V-Ness prepared a great vegan feast and I had a great time with the SLO Posse gathered round her pad...

Holiday Hibernation

Leave it to Louis to inspire a love fest at the holidays...

Election '04

Welcome Break
The first primary is just a few weeks away, but I've been distracted by the holidays...

The Age of Imperialism

Death Toll Higher Than Ever
This week more Americans died because Bush lied. Shamefully, the Shrub still doesn't care and has yet to even call a US family to send his personal condolences or those on behalf of the country they died serving. To date, there has been no official response to the deaths in Iraq beyond imposing a media blackout and downplaying the ever increasing numbers.

Priorities
Republicans are far more interested in fixing schools, roads and infrastructure in Iraq instead of fixing schools, roads, and infrastructure in America.
