Thank you for your kind comment!
I’ve reconsidered — attached is the picture you requested.
Enjoy!

matt.

(Of course there was no picture attached. This is the nature of pinhead-baiting.)

Sorry, but you forgot to push the ‘attach’ button — the massage has no attachment. But thank you for reconsideration!

meeting peter phillips, and the draft

Dr. Peter Phillips of Project CensoredI had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Peter Phillips, director of Project Censored, at the fundraiser last weekend. He spoke with passion about the lesser-known evils of the world, and particularly within the Bush administration, given that this was a Kerry rally.

I wrote about Project Censored recently. I mentioned the “censored” item that most grabbed my attention: a Salon.com story about the reinstatement of a military draft: Oiling up the draft machine? (local mirror).

Since then, President Bush stated clearly during the debates that there would be no draft:

I hear there’s rumors on the Internets (sic) that we’re going to have a draft. We’re not going to have a draft, period. The all-volunteer army works.

See additional analysis of the draft issue.
