No Hay Banda

The front page is having problems, but here's the promised article.

It is easy to see, then, why those of us who see this recent U.S. coup for what it is are feeling a little disoriented. If we knew what was good for us, we would simply allow ourselves to be lulled to sleep by the constant drumbeat of anti-Aristide propaganda and strident U.S. dismissals of Aristide's audacious claims that when U.S. troops showed up in the middle of the night to threaten him with death if he didn't resign and flee into exile, that action constituted a coup d'etat. That's a key component of the debate being missed by our intrepid fourth estate - Aristide's story and the Bush Administration's story are the same. It's just that Bushco doesn't see what Aristide is complaining about. He should be thankful, apparently, that we don't just kill him and be done with it.

2. Basically, just here.

If you look in the archives, my stuff goes back to late last July. I also have a blog but I don't update it that often because I hate to waste copy on my blog when I hardly have time to write articles anymore. Glad you liked it though.

Just as a warning if you're going to go try to read the old stuff, it's only recently that I've been getting a little more serious; I consider myself primarily a humor columnist most of the time. A lot of my articles are just silly.
