Apparently Wesley Clark is running for president because the country needs a politician willing to change his positions even more frequently than John Kerry. Here’s Clark on Sept. 18 on whether or not he would have voted to go to war with Iraq, I don’t know if I would have nor not. I’ve said it…

Philip Greenspun has an idiotic essay in which he is apparently shocked that it is more expensive to build things and create wealth than it is to murder civilians.

According to Fox News, Wesley Clark is going to announce his candidacy for president. Given his performance as a talking head, I think he’s wasting his time, but what I’m especially curious to see is how the press treats Clark’s numerous waffles and bizarre accusations (like the implication that the White House told him to…

Saturday afternoon, my wife took the kids to visit her grandmother and parents in Jackson, about a 45 minute drive from here. I stayed behind to work on lots of important things (i.e., B:TVS marathon time). By the time they returned around 8 or 9 p.m., my daughter said she had a headache. Actually, she’d…

On April 11, 1999, the Grand Rapids TV station ran a piece on Wicca featuring my wife talking about her religion. I’ve put up a downloadable Windows media version of the interview here (please right click on link and save the 4+mb file please).

Went out and bought a digital camcorder recently and now I’m doing a full-blown video project on the Left wing folks here and their response to 9/11 and the war on Iraq. As part of that, tonight I went and videotaped a panel hosted by a student group that was about Bush’s policy responses to…
