Holy. Fuck. Animal Cruelty.

Justin — Wed, 26 May 2010 19:15:42 +0000

I only watched the first 17 seconds of this video. I was unable to watch more.

I have emailed Mercy for Animals, the publisher of the video, asking for the names of people involved.

UPDATE:One of those featured in the video is Billy Joe Gregg Jr., who has been charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty. Each carries a measly maximum sentence of 90 days in jail. I can’t find a phone number for this scumbag, but if somebody does, please post it so we can be sure to let him know how we feel.

Obama says something that impresses me

Justin — Fri, 14 May 2010 20:40:10 +0000

I am no Obama fan – my readers know that pretty well. However, he used to (pre-2004ish) occasionally say things that impressed me a lot.

Check out this short clip. It contains perhaps the best line delivered by a President in my life time – it’s from March of last year, but I hadn’t seen it until now.

It seems that he got a question that didn’t have a pre-fab answer in the corporate war machine script, so he had to kinda adlib.

Is there a more important maxim for a President (or any decision maker) than knowing what he or she is talking about? It has become fashionable to be immediate and wrong instead of deliberative and right. Only after adopting the latter habit can a person develop a worldview and moral compass on which to act. Perhaps we can yet expect these to emerge in the Obama administration.

Eric Sterling at UConn SSDP April 2009

Justin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:46:46 +0000

UConn SSDP had a really cool (and under-reported) pre-conference to SSDP’s Northeast Regional Conference in April.

Several of “the usual suspects,” including myself, spoke. There’s no doubt, though, that Eric Sterling stole the show. I have seen him speak 10+ times, and he is one of the best and most engaging public speakers I have ever been exposed to. Fortunately my camera was rolling:

Free Software and Drug Policy Reform – my presentation at the DPA conference in Albuquerque

Justin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:29:22 +0000

I was honored to be invited to speak at a very small panel at the largest and most prestigious gathering of experts in the fields of drugs and drug policy – the drug policy alliance biennial conference. I spoke about the free software movement’s view of cognitive liberty, and why the drug policy reform movement is a natural ally for free and open source software.

….now before you jump on me about the “order of magnitude” comment with encryption – I fully realize that with increasing strength that decryption becomes several orders of magnitude more difficult, but as this was not a technology conference, I didn’t want to belabor the point.

SICK sit-in at Lieberman’s office

Justin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:29:14 +0000

So, I’m definitely not an advocate of government health care (see my last post proposing a republican vision of health care), but I really definitely can’t stand Joe Lieberman. Some activists (and friends of mine) from UConn staged a really sweet sit-in, unto getting arrested and simultaneously singing.

This is one of the best sit-in videos this year.

David Keene runs and hides from media coverage of his corruption

Justin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:50:41 +0000

David Keene, the President of the “American Conservative Union,” got his ass handed to him by John Ziegler on video.

Keene is a BS conservative who sold himself out to Arlen Specter and then tried to solicit Fedex to give him millions to write a positive op-ed.

Ziegler was supposed to be on a panel at the conference where this encounter occured, but got booted after putting the tough questions to Keene.

I’m not by any stretch of the imagination a Ziegler lover, but this video is absolutely sick.

My brother’s touchdown

Justin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:04:11 +0000

My brother is a Warwick Wildcat, and I just got back from his football game at one of the best teams in New York, the Monroe Crusaders.

It was a great game, but the Wildcats sadly lost. Nonetheless, here is my brother’s first Varsity touchdown:
