10/14/04 - I have added the following poem to the poetry section.

Battle of Boston:

How bleak is a day,
When a Formorian rules?
How bright would it be,
If the city were free?

She was called the White Hag.
Ruler of evil,
Murderess of Doyle.

For Doyle I went.
Doyle was noble in life,
Even if not in title,
A hero to many.

When we first met he saved a childling,
Now he is dead,
His death needed to be avenged.

The Hag brought a storm of lightning,
But our forces could brave whatever weather she created.
Her wolves brought rabies,
Our forces were prepared with vaccines.

The wolves differed in breath,
Some breathed fire,
Some expelled acid,
Still others breathed ice.

Tried as I might,
My magic could not a-wolf light,
I did what I could,
But fled so as not to join her list of kills.

The Fae prevailed,
The balefires were lit,
The Hag fell out of the dreaming,
Her own weapon used against her.

In the autumn world the battle continued,
Her magic faltered,
Finally she fell,
Her head separated from it's body.

Concordia prevails,
The dreaming has chosen,
We will not be slaves to any Formorian!


The poem is about a proxied battle that took place in Boston's
Changeling venue. It was done amazingly well considering the number
of people who proxied.

If you go to CNN's website and do a search for "Badnarik", as in
Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik, guess how many
hits you will get. If you guessed zero you would be correct. Green
Party Candidate David Cobb and Independent Candidate Ralph Nader both
have more coverage (as in they have coverage) on the same web site.

The Libertarian Party has more legislative representatives then all
of the other 'third parties' combined and yet CNN will not cover
their presidential candidate! The news media's generic excuse for not
covering third party candidates is that they do not get enough votes
to merit newsworthyness. That logic is exactly why they get so few
votes. Unexposed candidates cannot win elections. When the news talks
about how the candidates stand on the issues they ignore the third
parties.

The Commission for Presidential Debates (CPD) is a nonprofit
corporation that claims it is nonpartisan. Yet, if it was truly
nonpartisan it would invite ALL presidential candidates. Because the
only debates that got national news coverage were held by the CPD and
the CPD only allowed Republicans and Democrats to participate both
Michael Badnarik and David Cobb crossed the barrier to try and enter
the debate. Both were arrested. Despite the fact two presidential
candidates were arrested trying to get to a debate they should have
taken part in the major news media still will not cover the
candidates.

The CPD gets some public funding from Arizona. For this reason
Arizona Libertarians have filed a law suit against Arizona. It is a
violation of the Finance Reform Act and Arizona state law.

I will be at the International Camarilla Convention next Thursday so
I will try to make a post on Wednesday. If I cannot find the time I
will have to skip next week.
