Er...Um...Yes

OK, a friend suggested I set up a blog, so here it is.

I am, in the words of Mort Sahl, "...not a liberal. I'm a revolutionary." (I hope someone will correct me if that is not completely accurate). I find it difficult to accept that I am stuck on the same planet as people(for lack of a better term) like Tom Delay, Trent Lott and GWBush. I cannot accept, that is I refuse to accept, that my own father, of whose genes I am made, voted for this president or that certain ex-friends were behind this War in Iraq. I am not one who believes that now is the time to heal the rift between the RightWing and the Sane. No, I think that now is the time to shut them down. They are welcome to keep their party, but the Right Wing Echo Chamber(RWEC) and the prostrate MSM need to come around or be blasted to dust. I have no problem with honest debate, but that is not what the RWEC engages in. The RWEC engages in lie propagation and repetition and they must be stopped. On a good day I am willing to concede that we have the administration we do due to lack of information rather than abject stupidity, but that's not often.

None of this is news. Al Franken, Joe Conasen, Dave Brock just to name a very few individuals, have been working on this for some time and do a fantastic job. Yet, somehow, news media like NPR are being led down the primrose path on things like Social Security as shown here. With that in mind, since this friend suggested that some of my letters I've sent to news organisations such as NPR would provide a basis for this blog, we will start with that one.

Krome is a name I've used for ages on the net. It is the name under which I post on most other blogs. It comes from William Gibson's book "Burning Chrome" and I chose it because back when I logged onto my first BBS on a TI Silent 700 terminal with Bubble Memory and an acoustic coupler(300 Baud) back in the mid '80's I was reading a lot of him and the BBS was called "Black Ice".
