Amazon.com has started de-ranking books dealing with glbt and feminist issues.

Just doing my part to protest Amazon Rank. I also wrote them a letter. There's a petition here as well.

The main thing that everyone seems to be doing is tagging things with #amazonfail. Done and done!

Also: Happy Easter! XD

So, the US has reached the total of 4000 deaths due to the Iraq war. Add this to the thousands of our soldiers who have been maimed both physically and emotionally, the civilians who have been wounded, killed, had loved ones killed, and/or been displaced, and multiply by the fact that Bush and his administration keep writing blank checks with our tax money to keep the war going as our economy just gets worse and worse. I guess you can all see where I'm headed with this.

Maureen Dowd was on NPR the other day talking about a column she'd written in which she'd described Bush tap-dancing in front of the white house and singing a little song. She made the point that Bush seems happier the worse things get. Here's some of it...

"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

Bush, as we say here on the internets….it’s time for you to STFU and GTFO.

echomirage himself is headed over there soon. He won't be in an active combat role, but I still worry.
