Guest-posted for the one and only buhdydharma . . . Who is having compooter problems right now, and is thus in exile... FEAR NOT! HE WILL RETURN MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE!
One of the most impressive things about YOU, fellow Kossaks, is the breadth of knowledge YOU have accumulated. Smarts spanning from aardvarks to ZyXel. If you ask a question on Dkos, ANY question, it WILL be answered`at the very least with a link or a clue. We have 'columns' on the Environment, gardening, painting, history. Heck we've even got group therapy, storytime and...and...well..whatever the hell you want to call the glorious chaos that is Cheers & Jeers. There also seems to be quite an interest in animal husbandry here for some reason, some animals even write diaries!! And of course, the one The Only PhillyGal pooties!!! whose groundbreaking work someone on this site seems to have domeneched into some kind of nefarious notoriety.

PICTORIAL: Wenyi Wang vs. The PRC: Not The First Confrontation!

The powerful image of Wenyi Wang being herded away silenced by a hand is powerful but it is not the only powerful image she has presented the world. Digging through the archives of Falun Dafa Clearwisdom.net I found another powerful image of her from 2001.
Frameshop: ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS (Updated)
Wed Mar 29, 2006 at 09:34:43 PM PDT
There has been a lot of talk on this as I'm sure you're all aware and people are making an effort and trying to understand this complex and difficult issue.
I think it's time to move the debate forwards. Yes, you can call "them" illegal immigrants, yes you can call "them" undocumented workers. However, "they" are not the problem. "They" are not the ones ultimately responsible for undercutting wages, undercutting unions, and stressing public services.
The people responsible for all this are not fellow workers trying to make a living. No! The people responsible are those who exploit the indigent. The people who want to be able to employ dirt cheap labor.
THE ILLEGAL EMPLOYER!
Immigration: THE FINAL FUCKING SOLUTION
Sun Mar 26, 2006 at 05:41:44 PM PDT
Ha! Made you look with the provocative title.
But there's an easy solution to everyones issues over immigration. I didn't think of it. The extremely smart and clever people cskendrick and alizard did. I am merely plagiarizing their ideas and combining them into a coherent whole.
See below the fold for THE FINAL FUCKING SOLUTION to the "illegal" immigration "problem".
Remember Joe Hill! Freep This Poll!

Freep This Poll! on the CountyPressOnline website. Left of the page scroll down a bit.
The Pennsylvania School Boards Association say that the Prevailing Wage Act of 1961 may have increased the cost of school construction more than any other law. The law requires local governments to pay wages set by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry for public works, which inflates the cost by between 9 and 30 percent according to the Association. Should the law be abolished?
- Yes. Cut cost. I need the money as much as anybody in the trades.
- No. Remember, Joe Hill.
Cheney! Cheney - All the crap the Whitehouse isn't apologising for
Fri Feb 17, 2006 at 02:49:46 AM PDT
Ok we all know Cheney can go Cheney himself. So lets go look at all the things, far worse than shooting a mate in the face, that the Whitehouse isn't even pretending to apologise for.

Please Criticise, Insult and Defame Buddhism
Thu Feb 09, 2006 at 10:58:28 AM PDT
As a Buddhist I have taken to heart many criticisms of Buddhism I've read and heard. I think it's important to be able to examine the beliefs of Buddhism and expose them when they come up short.
In that spirit I hearby declare that I wish to hear any criticisms, insults and defamations of Buddhism and Buddhists you can think of.
I am doing this because I think that the distinctions between insults, criticism and defamation are hard to make, and that ones persons criticism is another persons insult or defamation. In that spirit I'll begin with the criticism by posting my own criticisms of Buddhism below.

World stunned by a sudden attack of Mass-Sanity
Mon Feb 06, 2006 at 02:19:22 AM PDT
After an extremely frank and heated open exchange of views, a sudden attack of Mass Sanity appears to finaly be breaking out in the world.
On dailykos people Secularist Fundamentalists who believe that Free Speech is sacred are no longer being smeared with the accusation of racism. In return they have ceased rabidly foaming in the mouth and acknowledge that some of the Danish Cartoons can be construed as legitimately offensive and that it could actually be considered rude to publish them. They do however maintain that their absolute right to blaspheme as an integeral part of Free Speech. Peace talks are continueing.
Google News, an aggregating newsfeed that uses heuristic web analysis to determine what news people are interested in no longer has the topic on its front page indicating that the controversy is dieing down.
Meanwhile back in the actual real world:
