“When the zombies get out of hand…”

Christ, I wish someone would hurry up and remake Logan’s Run. Damn those Wachowski brothers and their Speed Racer!
It occurred to me that Logan’s Run is perhaps little more than the dystopian imagining of the uber-welfare/warfare state gone slightly awry. After all, we may not have Sleepshop, the public sporting-extermination of those over 21, [...]

I really want to make a good joke about Deepwater or Blackwater, but it’s just eluding me. Let’s see…Deepwater…What do you get with loads of “free” taxpayer money, no oversight, and several colossal bureaucracies? Nah, just depresses me.
But you heard about Deepwater, right? Part of the program was to lengthen already existing Coast Guard [...]

Check out infrequent MUS contributor Mogre’s piece on Porno Para Ricardo, a Cuban punk rock band. I can’t link directly to it because CNN is gay. So, (audible groan), you have to go to cnn.com/video, click “Browse/Search video,” then search for Cuba in the pop-up window. The piece should come up first and is called [...]

Before I embraced Jesus, if by Jesus we mean that particular form of free market loving liberty, I too suffered from thinking the problems of the nation and of the world at large were because governments did too little, not too much. This is an understandable position for the political neophyte; when something has “gone [...]

It all seems too little too late, doesn’t it? Still, I think we’d all like to see those that belong in jail finally make it there. The case for impeaching Bush isn’t the wiretapping scandal, but that whole war under false pretenses thing, oh, remember that? According to Elizabeth Holzman:
That’s why the strongest political [...]

The ethanol issue is a wonderful example of delusional and self-serving government, pipe dreaming about energy independence.
Economists argue that making ethanol from corn wouldn’t make any sense without the government’s help. The mix of federal and state subsidies to corn ethanol amounted to a conservative estimate of $5 billion to $7 billion in 2006, [...]

I’ve often thought there was a special bond between the animated and equally rhetorical dictators Chavez and Dubya. They have a Yin and Yang thing going on. While Bush has arguably fanned the fires of terrorism worldwide, weakening the international reputation of the US in the process, Chavez has rallied the troops with his anti-imperialist [...]

Here at manunderstress global media watchdog sports center, we object to all forms of cultural Nanny Statism, most especially trendy authoritarian legislation designed to keep us from getting fat, having too much fun, or just being as stupid as we want to be. We think nannies are better kept out of government.
In Georgia, our very [...]

Watched a documentary on the Cuban missle crisis the other night, and then looked up the letters mentioned in it between Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev. Here’s Castro in a loony and masochistic plea to practically end the world, if the US were to invade Cuba:
Letter to Nikita Khrushchev from Fidel Castro regarding defending Cuban [...]
