Mahugh.com is Back

My web site, Mahugh.com, will be 10 years old this fall. For most of that time, it has been about two things:

• sharing photos and travel adventures with family and friends

• protesting various governmental policies and activities, especially those that fall under the broad umbrella of “ways rich people rationalize killing or imprisoning poor people”

But last year, Mahugh.com lost its focus. I was looking for a job, and I thought I should eliminate some of the personal stuff and tone down some of the political rhetoric, to avoid offending potential employers.

Well, screw that. I have a job now, and I also have a work-related blog over on MSDN, so Mahugh.com is all mine again. The Doug that used to do things like post censored photos of dead Americans returning from Iraq is back. Viewer beware.

All I’ve done so far is put an Amnesty International widget on the home page that shows censored material from around the world. But I’ve got a few ideas for where to go from here …

  2. YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY WON!

    Dear Mr. Mahugh:

    Please let us know when would be convenient for your relocation to beautiful Guantanamo Bay. The U.S. Government is happy to send you on an all-expenses (restrictions may apply*) trip to tropical Cuba. Meet people of various (well, one) religion, several cultures, and varying health. You’ll never look at Godless Infidels the same way again!

    To collect your prize, simply step outside to the white panel van parked across the street.

    Yours very truly,

    Alberto Gonzales
    Attorney General
    United States of America

  3. Yippie!

    I would have said Yahoo! but I didn’t want any legal problems.

    Xorge

  4. Hey Alberto, I work at Microsoft, so I’m used to getting those electrocutions for free. You should see our benefits package, it’s a thing of wonder.

Have your say
