'Back

...Finally. Now I have to figure out where to begin and how to catch up. Here's just some of the stuff I've found interesting from the past blog-free week:

*Dubya’s getting sued for “race based harassment and individual sex crimes" committed against a Texas woman and her husband. Court documents, here.

*SF-IMC got embroiled in a murder controversy over this post on its open newswire.

*John Pilger does an excellent job drawing together the delightful acronyms PNAC and P2OG in his most recent column.

*US is gonna use land mines in Iraq. Screw the UN...

*If at first you don't succeed, try, try again…that’s the US' approach to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

*British troops moving into the Gulf in February. Hmm. Wonder what that could mean…

*Apparently, it's ok to be a racist and hold a powerful post in the American government. Just don't be stupid enough to say what everyone knows you think, publicly. Yeah, Trent, that's you.

*Some liberals are in a quandary over Iraq, while others sign up for war…

*Surveillance drones to patrol US cities. No joke...

*Dust off those nukes!

*Propaganda, ahoy! (this is nothing new, btw)

*An Iraq war will not only provide an "opportunity" for Israel, it will "yield momentum" for peace. Peace? Read: transfer.

*Bob Novak concedes that an "Iraq War is for Israel's Benefit"!

*Even those radicals writing in Foreign Policy see the Iraq war as “unnecessary.”

*Decode the top buzz words of 2002.

*The government has put out a new set of want ads. Are you qualified?

*More greed and insensitivity from the Bush administration. Shocking!

*Mother Theresa sometimes wondered if God really exists. Hmm. Maybe I still have a chance to get into heaven.

*Kitchen + car = American consumer bliss

*In case ya didn't know, Google rocks.
