Am I Blue? (Or Just Violet?)

November 11, 2004 by darby

After the election, I had many conversations invlolving red states and blue states. Surely, the sea of red has some blue representation, right? Yes, and here is the map that helps identify just how much red or blue each state has. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that since Dubya, our country is communicating in terms of color. Like in kindergarten. Maybe someone could teach our prez how to play nice with others and share his toys. Now you know where NOT to move. … [Read more...]

Dark Daze Bring Clear Nights

November 3, 2004 by darby

What a difficult day this has been. And still, I believe that the likes of Dubya will bring forth an inevitable revolutionary spirit in this country. This spirit would have potentially lay dormant for another four years with the delusional comfort of having a Dem at the reigns. I couldn't have said it better than my dear friend; "People will take little bites off'a shit sandwich all day long, but until they have one shoved down their throat will they stop eating them all together." Let us … [Read more...]

Courage — Free For The Brave

October 31, 2004 by darby

Seems like Eminem has been stocking up on courage lately. If you haven't seen his new video, do yourself a favor and check it out. "Mosh" by Eminem Especially in these times, when speaking out against the establishment has come to mean that the propaganda machine will make you that unpatriotic commie traitor McCarthyism always warned you about, I applaud (in a rioutus kinda way...) Eminem's courage. I imagine he has had a special agent or ten drop by for a visit, and that's not my idea … [Read more...]

Propaganda?

July 20, 2004 by darby

Gregory and I were discussing propaganda. At the end of it all, his notion was "anything said by anybody is propaganda, because everyone has an agenda." He also cited the literal definiton of the word (from over 3 sources...he IS thorough.) My suggestion was this; the literal definition of the word doesn't always, and often never, provides the connotation of the word and its understanding throughout history. Propaganda, to me, suggests steering the masses away from real events to convey the … [Read more...]

Memorializing

May 31, 2004 by darby

I am not a blogger. All of a sudden, though, I read an article in Wired on Nick Denton. (And here I am, blogging.) Denton has these gossip infused, "let's be sassy chicks" inspired websites, all born with this idea of creating a business model within a new medium and not really thinking for a fleeting moment about authenticity and/or positive output. Which is fine. There is obviously a market for that, as the popularity of his websites and his list of paid bloggers increases. But then, … [Read more...]
