Pissing match with trickle-down theory
Oh dear, is this really the best antiwar argument we’ve got? The share of federal spending which goes to war-making IS astounding, and should give the common citizen pause, but how does it speak to the average weapons industrialist attending … Continue reading
As per usual, Colorado Springs monied class is unrepentant, gaga for GW Bush
Yep, they turned up in their orange tans, diamonds, black gowns and shiny SUVs, to support Christian charter schools and honor “God Bless Him” George Dubya Bush. This was my favorite sign from the protest.
Jesus Springs welcomes fugitive Bush
After seeing Colorado College gush over a whitewashed CIA murderer, I’m not in any mood to watch local Christian groupies applaud George War-criminal Bush. The plan for Saturday at the Broadmoor is to pummel the arrogant creep with shoes, ceremoniously … Continue reading

How to get on the terrorist watch list
Impersonate an astronaut? Criticize defense contractors? I have no idea. But at the airport, welcome to the tertiary security check delay, where they dust your hands for potential explosive residue. “Dust” in an antiquated term relating to the dust detectives … Continue reading
Now we need gun control in space
Asked if we were having fun, I answered: “Absolutely — we’re the only astronauts who don’t answer to the Pentagon” or weapons contractors.

Which would you find more insulting?
COLORADO SPRINGS- I’m not sure which is the more insulting, being accused of murder, or being likened to a hayseed Howdy Doody with nothing between his ears. However cold-blooded the death merchants may be, calling them murderers to their faces … Continue reading
