I would not want to be John Hart today. He is experiencing the darker side of group collaboration. It has been quite something to watch. Basically, it went down like this as far as I can tell from quickly going over all the relevant emails and blogs (please let me know if I got it wrong in any way - times may be a little off due to timezone issues in messages):
I had to make a video to go with the previous post. Think of it as a public service announcement. You might do the same for your kids. Click the pic to view the vid.
I guess I'd like to think that every point of view has something to offer, but I think U.S. Army propagandist "Jamie" from myarmytimes.com is just plain fucked up. "He" actually had the nerve to post the following justification for war in the Yahoo Videoblogging Group:
God instructed the Israelites to wage war on many nations in the Old Testiment. Without war Hitler would have taken over the world and created a supreme race. al Qeada had no problem waging war against thousands of innocent Americans. I do not understand why people are so adament that war is wrong all the time. It's not. It's necessary...
"He" (it?) also asks the question "Where do you think al Qaeda is fighting their war right this second?".
I think our only enemy is fighting right here and that "Jamie" (it is obvious that there are several people behind the production of this "blog") and the other animals like "him" are the only real threat. Their fake "personal" blogs will never help them make their senseless argument. Journalism "he" says? What a joke. I wonder how much these clowns get paid extra for "vlogging"? Does it warrant hazardous pay? LOL.
1984 has come true.

I left this comment on Zadi's Karmagrrrl blog where she has recently posted some great personal videos about recruiting and war:
ABC TV News reported tonight that the Bush administration is using the "No Child Left Behind" act to obtain student records for recruiting purposes. Now I know why they call it that.
My wife tells me that they have already approached her 17 year old son.
My old college roommate and I returned to UC Santa Barbara last week and it was obvious at first glance that ROTC activity was substantially greater than when I was a student OR instructor on the campus (all told this covers about the years 1975-1992).
Of course, the White House itself is a great source for early "recruiting" propaganda.
They even have a vlog, just for kids.
Click the pic to see a tour of the White House Gardens. Nice quality video actually (big surprise).
Personally, I never registered for the draft back in the early 70's. The Vietnam war had pretty much wound down by then, but I had no intention of "serving". Each of us has to make our own choices. Mine was that I would leave rather than fight. I never had to really choose. Life went on. I'm told I got a pardon from Jimmy Carter sometime in the 80's.
Addendum: Dierdre has responded to Zadi with a powerful interview with her dad (who we had already met and appreciated in earlier vids of hers). It looks like even more people are asking their parents to share their stories (especially war stories) on video.
Not sure what happened to the Live C-SPAN broadcast. It seems that it was prempted by some vote and an announcement by some "lacky to a lacky" as Zatoichi would say. In any event, the video is now available online.
Addendum: the lacky-sub-lacky was Karen Hughes.
WOW! On my attorney's advice, I think I better have another shot of that tequilia. Thanks Hunter.
An acute observer of the decadence and depravity in American life, Thompson wrote such books as "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail" in 1973 and the collections "Generation of Swine" and "Songs of the Doomed." His first ever novel, "The Rum Diary," written in 1959, was first published in 1998.

From Stewart to Star in New 'Apprentice'
Since Stewart is not allowed to conduct business while in prison, Burnett made it clear his deal with Stewart was completed before the domestic mogul entered prison — although he's made monthly visits to her.
Are these considered conjugal visits?
