this is a reposted article, due to JU difficulties Depending upon how idealogically one is comitted, one can accomodate 'Imagine' to serve as both Bush Mantra and Lennon-esque peace movement propaganda. All sorts of fun, and Animal from the Muppets makes an appearance! Link

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR co...

A new MSNBC poll is up right now for JU voters to check out. The Poll Question Is : Do you agree with President Bush when he likens the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism with the fight against Nazis and communists ? The Options are : Yes. Bin Laden and others are the Hitlers and Stalins of our times . Maybe. But I'm going to need some more convincing one way or the other . No. This is just dishonest, warmongering designed to scare voters about national...

Recently, Draginol managed to ban anonymous posting from users in the thread "Do Democrats Hate America?". I'm hoping Draginol will follow suit in making certain all threads are free from anonymous users who often do little more then: * Spam * Are actually spam bots * Disrupt JU citizen discussion with random insult and trolling (making people register takes more time, commitment, and increases the likelyhood of them actually being a contributing member to the ...

I've decided that JU's extremely opinionated denizens might like to voice their opinions on what they like and dislike about America. That means any aspect of America. This can be it's present form, the tax burden we share, the culture in which we live, the political parties that supposedly represent our interests, the weather in parts of the country, or even the music we have to suffer on the top forty charts today. Any aspect of American life, ideology, or it's components are...

I've always held a very special place for George Dub in my heart for all the great material he's provided humourists. This one is currently my favorite. Enjoyable and non-offensive to those who support and don't support him. Enjoy. Link

I've seen so little word from chickenhawks lately regarding N.Korea. Maybe post-911 fever has finally worn away and maybe the stomach to make someone, anyone pay for innocent deaths had dissipated. Maybe even the Bush administration would take a less costly and more pragmatic approach to foreign policy noting the peons are sick of supporting a war they have seen little return on? I consulted Devon Largio's undergraduate thesis paper Uncovering the Rationales for the War on Iraq: The...

FOX NEWS ALERT NORTH KOREA MAY FIRE TEST MISSILE WITHIN ONE MONTH CAPABLE OF REACHING THE U.S. Fuck Fox. Where were they in 2003? In fact, where the fock was any of the news media in the United States? North Korea has already fired a missile that landed in the United States. Let me share with you the number of corporations that control the the media (newspapers, magazines, TV, Radio Stations, books, music, movies, videos, wire services, and photo agencies) within the United States...

A student friend of mine at the MSU Standard had her thoughts to share regarding the conflict in Iraq. I'd say she's a fresh voice, feel free to share yours. The Crux of the Issue with M. Chiles President Bush seeks to regain public support for the war in Iraq, which began just over 3 years ago. He sure would like the media to help him out. There is little “good news” from Iraq to be had on television screens or in newspapers. Bush wants a broader picture shown. If A...

Despite initial bluster here at JU and the assertation that only 'liberals' would dare rise up against domestic surveillance, a number of top Republicans known for some of their more conservative politics have come out to ask questions and demand hard answers regarding the Bush Administration's secret government agenda to undermine civil liberties. Among the more conscientious Republicans: "There is no doubt that this is inappropriate," said Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), BLITZER: So y...
