By Jeff Dorchen

Watch That Whale

[28.Sep.07] :. If whales were into human-watching, would they watch even while we butchered each other? Do whales have hope for the human species?
 

Hey, You Got Your Ghost in My Machine!

[9.Aug.07] :. The body and the machine are born innocent. It’s the soul and the mind that make them dirty and evil. A philosophical meandering into America's obsession with automobiles.
 

The Uighur Sanction, or, The Squeaky Jesus Gets the Fig

[16.Jul.07] :. A Muslim's fasting irritates him – if you've ever spent the month of Ramadan in a Muslim country, you know what I mean. An Evangelical Christian's proselytizing irritates others. Dick Cheney irritates everyone.
 

Come Back to the Five-and-Dime, Soylent Green, Soylent Green

[12.Jun.07] :. When a "Gravity's Rainbow" perpetually hangs over one's head, dare one feel sunny, happy, optimistic? Or should the storm which brought the rainbow always prevail in one's thoughts?
 

First They Came for the Latinos

[10.May.07] :. Heard rumors of civilians rounded up, locked up, and searched for papers, lately? Don't worry. That only happens in another America.
