Of course the media can be trusted to tell you what you believe.
No seriously. have you ever met someone who thought that a pre-emptive strike on Iraq is a good idea? Sure, all the politicians are saying they're afraid they'll lose votes if they don't give Bush the gun with the hair-trigger, and they say that fear is due to popular opinion. But just try to find someone that you know who really believes it's a good idea, before you go giving up because you think you're surrounded by insane warmongers. The American people are a lot smarter than the American people are led to believe. Even we believe it! Then we wonder why the rest of the world thinks we're a bunch of morons. We're not. But thanks to our news outlets (unless of course you're reading Pigdog Journal) many of us believe that we're each the only moral person left and that our opinion doesn't matter.
If our opinion really didn't matter, they wouldn't bother lying to us, now would they?

All this talk about death, wakes and Moloch recently has, frankly, got me a little worried. What if I'm next to go? I could slip on a wet banana peel and slam my head against an enormous brass statue at almost any time. I'm not planning well enough for this sort of thing. Who will talk for me when this terrible day comes? (More...)
Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
