Ernest Stewart, a.k.a. Uncle Ernie is an unabashed radical, author, musician, stand-up comic, DJ, actor, political pundit and for the last 5 years managing editor and publisher of Issues & Alibis magazine. Ernie's political awakening took place during the Vietnam Years, when, fresh out of the Army, he started digging up the actual facts behind our criminal intervention in Indochina. Since those days, he's been an untiring and outspoken educator about the political realities defining America, a task he now discharges preferentially via Issues & Alibis. The heart of Issues & Alibis is Ernie's "weekly rant"--which opens the magazine's roster of provocative analyses. Ernie's editorial selections are usually sprinkled with hilarious cartoons and political illustrations.
Of late he's been involved as actor, writer and associate producer for the new motion picture "W", expected to open in time for the 2006 elections. Says Ernie of this forthcoming political satire: "W's campy. It's avant-garde and it's just a wee bit SURREAL. It's a salute to 1950's sci-fi; it's as serious as a heart attack and it confirms what we've all wondered about... is W really from outer space? And wouldn't that explain a lot of things, wouldn't it? Find out for yourself who's behind the evil 'Party of No!' Coming to theatres this fall."
A DROP IN THE BUCKET
The Virginia Tech massacre was horrible...but, on that same day in Iraq more than 140 were blown up, shot to pieces, bombed to tiny bits, or burned alive by our air and ground forces and nobody in government or the media gave a rat's ass. [GO TO ARTICLE]
THE TWILIGHT ZONE REVISITED
Unfortunately for mankind one of the voices that the Fuhrer keeps hearing is that of "god almighty" who whispers into George's ears his holy plans for the Middle East. These plans apparently concern wresting control of some sticky dinosaur goo from the sons of Ishmael; old Abe's #1 son. And because of this, one can only surmise that Yah Weh has cancelled the 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th commandments? What's wrong with this picture do you suppose America?
I see where citizen Richard B. Myers crawled out from under the rock where he's been hiding since last October to come to the aid of his master Von Rumsfeld's disastrous handling of the quagmire that is Iraq. Richard you may remember was the Joint Chiefs of Staff leader that...[GO TO ARTICLE]
PENTAGOONS
[4.5.06] DEEP IN THE BOWELS OF THE PENTAGON a selected group of pirates and thieves gather daily to plan new mischief throughout the world. They run the day to day plans in Iraq to keep that huge amount of oil in Iraq safe and off the market. Like our new permanent air and army bases through out Iraq; we like our oil are going nowhere.

GIMME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION (2.15.01)
The religious types that came here to practice their own brand of insanity did so because the state Church of England branded them heretics and used real branding irons to do so. They were quite aware of the problems of having a state religion. If you are a religious zealot it may sound like a good idea but what if it’s not your religion? Think this is a Christian nation do you? I beg to differ, just trot your own brand of lunacy out to Utah and lay it on the folks of the Church of LDS or LSD? I get those two confused...

THE END OF DEMOCRACY (First column, 2.1.01)
Some people have said that with the ascendancy of the Bushit regime democracy in this country is dead. I beg to differ with those folks. If one has taken the time to study the situation one comes to the conclusion that there was never democracy in the United States. There was a sort of Republic that lasted twelve years until the Thomas Jefferson/ John Adams debacle of 1800. Since then on at least four occasions the powers that be have stepped in to throw an election. [GO TO ARTICLE]
