Deborah Pryce, Deserting the Sinking Ship

"The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The writings of white supremacist shooter James Von Brunn on Free Republic, and right-wing readers' positive reaction to his writings, is mirrored here for historical reference. Free Republic has taken the post down, trying to shove it down the memory hole.

Read the Google Cache of the "Arizona Sentinel" blog cut-and-paste hack job that right-wingers are claiming "proves" that Barack Obama applied to Occidental College as a foreigner. As you'll see with a quick read and the most minimal effort to find the faked sources referred to within, it's a hoax. Also a hoax, therefore, is the claim by right-wingers that the "Arizona Sentinel" is a newspaper website taken down by The Man because conspiracy theorists were TOO CLOSE to the truth! See here for a debunking of the fake "article."

Had it up to here with the silence of the Speaker of the House during years and years of U.S. Government torture? Then shout it to the highest clouds: Nancy Pelosi, Resign!

Deborah Pryce, Deserting the Sinking Ship

Today, Deborah Pryce announced that she would not be running for re-election in 2008. A member of the House of Representatives in Ohio’s 15th District, where I live, Deborah Pryce had a reputation as someone who was personally tolerant and kind. But while she was awfully nice as a person and said nice things about tolerance and diversity as a member of Congress, Deborah Pryce had a different record behaviorally speaking — she lashed herself to Republican Party priorities as a member of the Republican House leadership, and perhaps as a consequence Pryce toed the line on Republican policy priorities, voting for the authoritarian Bush agenda over and over again.

I may miss her nice personal speeches in my district. But I’m happy to kiss her legislative record bye-bye.

In case you were wondering, Pryce only won her district by a hair in 2006, and that was on the strength of her incumbency. Look for Ohio’s 15th District to move away from the Republicans in 2008.

It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
