Between Hope and Fear. INTER SPEM ET METUM- - - - - - -. Saturday, October 02, 2004. Voting for Bush, Rooting for Kerry. Yep You read right. This blogger is none too pleased with the theatrics of either candidacy. I find little solace in either man seeking the presidency. I'm dropping my usual deadpan third person style to speak colloquially in this essay because I'm angry, having waded through the last presidential debate. Fatalistically, I have less faith in Kerry than Bush. What I don't want to lo...

Those of you who have small children might be familiar with the daily grind of watching the same children's shows, over and over again. In our household there is no cable and no antenna. Instead, there's a stack of DVDs, VHS tapes from the town library and red NetFlix envelopes, along with BitTorrent, YouTube and other Internet-based media. My hair is black and red.

Between Hope and Fear. INTER SPEM ET METUM- - - - - - -. Friday, September 10, 2004. Listening to acrimonious speeches by Middle Eastern politicians gives one the sense that beneath the denial lies plausible nuclear capability. The talk is loose. Speeches sometimes become unhinged, with a boldness and confidence that shows more than courage or mere fanaticism. Somewhere behind the rhetoric and threats lies growing nuclear credibility. Iran recently announced it may decide to pre-empt an Israeli or Americ...

Between Hope and Fear. INTER SPEM ET METUM- - - - - - -. Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Somewhere I was listening to an interview with a witness of the Kent State massacre in 1970.
