Thanks to Oliver Mainka for providing me with some pictures of our romping and stomping at the Bottom of the Hill (More info here). Mark Growden and band did their usual great. Some especially liked his final two songs: ‘Fuck boy’, and ‘Do the nasty’ (Oli was not there yet, so no pictures.) Then Gogol Bordello took the stage and fulfilled on the …
Robert Fisk: On What the US President wants us to forget …
Robert Fisk is a Middle East corespondent for over 25 years and it is well worth your time to listen to one of his speeches. He comes accross as a very humble man with deep insides into the problem of the area. “September 11: Ask Who Did It, But for Heaven’s Sake Don’t Ask Why”, Robert Fisk, WBEZ” If you don’t …
Debunking of Bush’s speech …
(IPA) does an excellent job in letting experts comment on all of Bush’s arguments for going to war with Iraq. Arguments he made in a speech held the 7th of October. The result are devastating for his arguments and absolutely frightening if we can’t stop him. The British Guardian also published an article critical of Bush’s claims: “…key allegations against the Iraqi regime …
This Wednesday the 9th: Mark Growden and Gogol Bordello hit the Bottom …
Want to be where I am? Go to the Bottom of the Hill this Wednesday the 9th. Totally looking forward to Mark Growden and the East European Gypsy Punk band Gogol Bordello. Be there, it is going to be great.

Blogger Barnraising
Community at work. Doc looses his AirPort base station, bloggers chip in. Don’t think that Doc really needs the money. Nevertheless the concept should be extended to bigger barns, like one raising money for the EFF to support their fight for the freedom on the internet.
Big Bushiness
It was a bit of a struggle the last days with this computer so I did not get to post a lot of things. Still the business, or should we say Bushiness deals of Georgy boy should not be forgotten: Salon: Harken Hypocrisy Bush’s corporate ethics: Do as I say, not as I do.New York Times: Everyone is outraged. More another time.
Bush wants to take the war on terror to 60 countries …
Jetzt reichts! (Enough is enough) The junior wants to wage war on 60 countries. This is lunacy. Who wants to live in a world of fear and hate, like they do in Palestine and Israel right now? I had to think of a line in of the song 99 red balloons: “99 years of war left no room for winners/victory’ …
Let’s rock the boat
Dave got some suggestions how to turn the tide regarding copyright law. I like the suggestions, especially the summit would be very interesting for musicians like Janis Ian. I got a great political action plan from an anonymous wage slave in the entertainment industry. Well worth reading, contains some stimulating thoughts. Thanks! [Scripting News]
