Nice Interview re: war/commodity culture/tebaggers w/Henry Rollins
I love this perspective. So when you visit the troops now, how do you rein in some of your strongly held beliefs about war? Oh, that’s easy. It’s just really not the place for that.

Last week, after it became apparent that the GOP campaign of disinformation regarding the health care legislation was working wonderfully [1] President Obama shifted gears a bit to talk about *why* this change is necessary.

He hits the nail on the head on why I’m not a blogger with this paragraph (and a half). If all this sounds postmodern, that’s because it is. And blogging suffers from the same flaws [...]
The Economic Apocalypse (retro-look)
This line of thought began with this MetaFilter post linking to this FRONTLINE piece on what happened with the banking/ibanking sector last Fall. [BTW, the best animation explanation of the problems is here.] The FRONTLINE documentary does a great job at pointing out some of the players in the mix and the personal relationships that [...]
A Quick Note About the Stimulus Package
Been seeing and hearing a lot of lamentations lately about the stimulus package. A lot of them seem to be nebulous complaints not focused on the actual legislation, but more of the ideological whining that plagues our Democracy. After actually looking at a nice, objective, analysis of what’s in the package (which you can read [...]
