Gulags are a’coming

October 29th, 2006

Check this out: Bush has just signed into law a bill (HR 5122) that gives him the right to order military forces into any state that he deems necessary. You can read the pertinent section of the bill below, and I also suggest you check out Frank Morales’ story, “Bush Moves toward Martial Law” on [...]

Jo Cose has a wonderfully written description of his quest for a fish tank spread over several posts, beginning with “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish”. His account is keenly observational with a hint of wit and a touch of the sardonic. Additionally, he writes with a lightness of touch that LtL admires [...]

Marx - Part 1

October 22nd, 2006

I have been reading The Marx-Engels Reader and have just finished the first section which presents a number of Marx’s early writings. I am amazed at how relevant and important his work remains. Beyond the purely academic use of Marx in Academic circles– a use that is often filtered through Louis Althusser and other post-Marx [...]

Why you should watch Battlestar Galactica

Thanks to all those who have been checking in and if you haven’t read any of my poetry, fiction, screenplays or stage plays, feel free to head over to the corresponding pages [...]

Reading the Fine Print

October 6th, 2006

So I thought that I would get an account with Associated Content - a website that claims to be “The People’s Media Company.” I figured I could sell some of my articles, try to get some wider exposure. So I signed up and then read the “INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR/LICENSE AGREEMENT.”
I don’t think I will be [...]

A brand spankin’ new instrumental . . . not even finished!
Just for you.
