The State of the News

It’s amazing how few control the western world’s mass-media outlets. Do some research and see just how few monopolies control what skewed and partisan information we’re bombarded with daily. A good place to start is here: Who Owns the Media? Through these deceptive airwaves, it’s good to catch some alternative news sources like Democracy Now!, [...]

A New Dawn

Here’s the first post of what should become an almost daily occurrence. On this blog, you will find whatever happens to cross the purveyor’s mind containing (but certainly not limited to) political and social commentary, literary gems, and other musings. The old blog died a horrible Error 404: File Not Found death, so this page [...]
