- Blue Gal has presented me with the most recent Don’t Sugarcoat It Award, and boy it feels good to be rewarded for being bitter. Speaking of miss BG, she recently posted this social critique regarding immigration, which I thought was great in a similar “don’t sugarcoat it”, “down with whitey” kinda way.
- ModernMusings has the first part of an excellent post dispelling the myth that Ralph Nader is responsible for everything wrong which has happened since 2000. For example, Ralph did not eat the last of your Lucky Charms in May of 2005 and leave the empty box in the pantry.
- After a heavy week of indiscriminant violence, the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned of a ground invasion of Gaza, telling US Secretary of State Condi Rice and the British foreign minister that a “major ground operation is real and tangible.” I wonder if any major American politician will be able to denounce this without being linked to Farrakhan.
- We’ve been #1 for awhile when it comes to incarceration, but a milestone was recently passed which warrants some recognition. More than 1 in 100 US adults are now locked up! No longer must I write that “nearly” 1 in 100 Americans are in jail. I can now say “over” 1 in 100 Americans are in jail! I’d like to thank the authoritarian policies of the government and privatization of the prison system which has made this police state possible.
- Nearly 300 pages recently obtained from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act indicate more involvement from officials within the Saudi government than was reported in the 9/11 Report. Inconsistencies suggest that the Commission altered information to obscure official Saudi ties to the hijackers. Former CIA case officer Robert Baer says that there are enough “discrepancies and unanswered questions” to warrant a re-opening of the 9/11 investigation. Your move Bill Maher.
- The “Encyclopedia of Life”, an online database designed to house details of all 1.8 million species on Earth, has unveiled it’s first 30,000 pages this week. This “ultimate field guide” is an online resource which will encompass all six kingdoms with the addition of viruses. The encyclopedia is due to be complete by 2017, which means the majority of entries will be extinct by the time it’s finished.
