Let’s start this off with a curious conjunction of news articles as presented by the Google News algorithm. And I also ran across this article over on Juan Cole’s site. Will his New Sanctions on Iran Cost Obama the Presidency? Posted on 01/03/2012 by Juan A sharp drop in the value of the Iranian currency [...]
A beautiful blonde, the CIA and America’s lies about Iraq
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article7132341.ece I hope that film can add its unique qualities to the journalistic record on this set of events, so that Americans can truly understand one of the most important, dramatic and personally intense intersections of principle and personalities in their own recent history — a history that is not behind us but that still [...]
Impact and size of Gulf oil spill still in question
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gIXWYBTpLtSayJtg41LKXpxSxVPAD9FO17L00 Oil has been spewing since the rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20, killing 11 people and sinking two days later. The government shortly afterward estimated the spill at 210,000 gallons — or 5,000 barrels — a day, a figure that has since been questioned by some scientists who fear it could be far more. [...]
Clearing off the desktop…
…sometimes I fall behind. So to catch up, I just dump a lot of stuff with short commentary and reboot the browsers so my computer can think again. Here goes… First up is an acknowledgement of the change to Arizona law. This took away the worst of it, but I’d expect the rest to be [...]
Burn, Baby, Burn
Note: this is a follow-up to “Spill, Baby, Spill“.
Spill, baby, spill
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/27/AR2010042702674.html Article says it all, really. UPDATE: Pic of the spill via bOING bOING.
Paging Palin, Petroleum Pundit (Cap’n Trade Dissection)
To catch you up *real* quick, I’ve been away and Sarah Palin quit as Governor of Alaska. A number of other big things have happened since I last wrote, and we’ll be addressing a number of those in short order, but as I like to talk a bit about policy and big things from time [...]
World This Week, Obama, Stewart, China, Russia, Cheney, Rush, Summers
Part 1: Part 2: Here’s the links for the video… Obama talkin’ to the CEO’s. Jon Stewart slamming Jim Cramer and CNBC. China on the offensive in the Impeccable. China on that $1,000,000,000,000 note of ours. Russian bombers and new bases. World Bank on global economy shrinkage. Cheney being Cheney, which is to say, a [...]
Some Stuff I Won’t Get To Today (dangit)
Cartoon of the Day about Republican RobotJesus. An alternate view on how to raise good children and not spoiled little brats who are scared of everything. Satellites exploding in space. It was bound to happen. Now the question is how many more billions they will turn to dust…in spaaaace. Apple is working with the evil [...]
A Bit or Twenty About My Political Views
[this is an excerpt from a private conversation with a friend, who wish to remail anonymous, I think] This is a much more civilzed conversation, but I really do prefer to have these conversations in public, as, you know…I’m a struggling writer. Really struggling. To summarize…I’m not a Democrat and don’t follow their agenda. I [...]
Music and the Economic Collapse of the U.S.
This is a pretty good example of what my book is like…my intellectual ramblings divided by popular culture references. The book is also my philosophy “dissertation”. However, unlike most phi-disses, this one was created to be understood by another with the capacity to appreciate simple culture, and not necessarily someone who has a doctorate in [...]
