What, you mean you didn't know WE SOLD Saddam Hussein all that stuff he used to "OMG GAS HIS OWN PEOPLE"? Surprise.... [More]

Heya folks :) It has been my intent for the last couple of days to go shoot new tape and make new vid and all that good stuff.  Unfortunately I keep getting distracted by various nouns (that’s people, places, and things), hosed by the weather, etc.  This, naturally, just as a couple of ... [More]

Another video about the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, initially inspired by some dork talking stupid smack. The accompanying blog article includes a detailed and far less aggressive rebuttal to the "mom & pop are gonna get buried if we boycott" argument - less aggressive, but definitely a rebuttal: saving mom and pop's butts is going to cost us our butts...AND theirs....

I was improperly ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt while driving a taxi, and a magistrate in Kalamazoo who cares more about ensuring that his decision record is unchallenged than about ensuring justice is fair and sensible screwed me on it, and there’s nothing I can do.

Some thoughts on the rampant racism in Arizona. Interestingly, this video has generated more hate mail in a few days than anything else I’ve posted to YouTube.... [More]

Did you know that it’s explicitly against the law in three states – Massachusetts, Maryland, and Illinois – to record (video, audio, or photograph) an officer in uniform? Watch me take a chance...... [More]

A brief recounting of my experience at Tuffy Auto Service, 4110 Stadium Drive, Kalamazoo, Michigan, and why you should never, EVER go there or give them a dime of your money or send anyone else to do so.... [More]

Another video post, with transcript. This one was inspired by several rather ugly facebook groups with names like “I Live In America, I Shouldn’t Have To Press 1 For English,” and perhaps even more so by the disappointing and rather scary prevalence of people who should know better going out and joining it, leaving me in a position of having to explain to my non-white, non-English-as-a-first-language friends why I, who make so much noise about bigotry and hate and how we should all choose love and get along and work together, have so many friends who are, at best, American provincialists with a poor understanding of the principles their country was founded on....
