So, some fun Halloween excitement for ya’ll:
Last night, a steam pipe in the Newspeak office exploded, soaking everything we own and possibly destroying computers, records and archives. Pretty much everything on the walls just disintegrated and even now, with the windows and doors propped open, water is still dripping from the ceiling.
So. Yeah. The point of all of this is, we might have just gone out of business, since our building will probably deny liability. All of this remains to be seen, since I’m not sure yet if the computers and all the electronics are destroyed or not—they’re drying out.
Happy Halloween! And, see you tonight. You can buy me a concilatory drink.

So while Aaron’s out there making Obama-lutions for next week, the folks over at 23/6 have created an easy fill-in-the-blank statement so you can figure out just what exactly you’ll do if McCain wins.
The handy, “Swear To God Dude, If McCain Wins I’m Gonnna…” O-tron

And here’s some home-state racism. Mmm-mmm! Just like mama used to hate!
Okay. A few questions:
1) The fuck is wrong with these people?
2) No, seriously. Do they simply just repeat whatever lame talking points talk-radio brings up that day?
3) Why do people insist on bringing their children to protests? Seriously, knock it off. Your four-year-old doesn’t care if Obama is a scary Communist rapist fascist black Muslim. She wants some Cheerios.
4) Are they, like, hiring some more Secret Service guys? Because he is going to get fucking assassinated.

Dammit. I can’t seem to figure out how to embed the new video from Portland stoner-rockers Red Fang, but you should definitely check it out here. It’s got nerds, drunken rockers, awesome Kyuss-ness and an epic battle (spoiler: the nerds win!).

I took some of this directly from the article done by Courage To Resist’s Sarah Lazare here is that article in its entirety
http://www.couragetoresist.org/x/content/view/624/1/
Shortly before Fort Carson soldier Tony Anderson was scheduled to board the plane for his first deployment to Iraq he decided he could not contribute to a war he did not believe in and went AWOL. After being Absent With Out Leave for 22 days he returned to his unit hoping that his cooperation would grant him kinder treatment from the Army. Tony is morally opposed to war and, when he expressed to his commander that it was intention to file for conscientious objector he was discouraged from doing so. The application process is arduous and includes written applications, a series of examinations, and a hearing with an investigative officer. A decision on an application can take up to a year, and in the interim a C.O. application cannot forestall deployment to a combat zone, although it can help ensure that applicants are assigned duties which conflict as little as possible with C.O. convictions. Applicants face pressures to drop the issue from commanding officers, who “accidentally” lose the applications, impose informal punishments on C.O. applicants, or give false information about the process, as in the case of Anderson. Nov. 17th he will face a court marshal for desertion, he currently has a plea bargain on the table for 15 months in a military prison. This war resister could sure use some help from the local peace community.
