Times Online: Baghdad will be near impossible to conquer

Yeah, no shit.

Pinocchios of a G-rated War Veil Scars of X-Rated Battlefield

There's no excuse for our government's current snowjob of epic proportions. This regime is inhuman and ungodly, and I'm talking about the Bush league here. It's astonishing that anyone believes the shit they broadcast--but it's also completely expected.

In short, the human race is more fucked than ever.

reality is fractal; that is to say, it is infinitely detailed, each whirring atom as complex and fascinating as the greatest galaxy. society, too, is fractal; we are each as complex as any government could ever hope to be. our rich individuality has been denied social power by the tyranny of false representation. our very autonomy is at stake. we must find a new source of power. we must create a new frontier out of thin air, lest our minds atrophy from disuse.

We Have a Winner in Iraq. Corporate America.

The vivacious Arianna Huffington follows the money in Iraq.

The Nightmare World of a Paranoid President

I have to confess I'm a staunch supporter of Bush's detractors. He is easily the worst leader this country has ever had--making Nixon look stellar and Ford like a Rhodes scholar.

ABCNEWS.com : Right Joins Left to Criticize Patriot Act

Well, it's about fuckin' time. Some conservatives have finally awoken to the fact that THEIR civil liberties may be in jeopardy--not just the poor, minorities, and non-Americans, but true-blue Americans like themselves. According to Michael Hammond, a consultant with Gun Owners of America, "All of a sudden it became apparent that a lot of people could be made noncitizens," he said. "We're very concerned about that. The whole thing is Orwellian."

The Collegiate Times: VT Board slammed for new policies

The creation of the Fourth Reich continues, as Virginia Tech's governing board votes to end affirmative action and non-discriminatory policies. One faculty member says: "I think we need to start reading the history of the 1930s,” and likens the decision to actions in pre-World War II Germany.

Don't Support Our Troops; Win or Lose, War on Iraq is Wrong

Whole World Feels Effect of US Intent, Activist Says

These days I have a growing respect for people who dare to oppose the hawks in Washington. Sensible voices inside the U.S. are becoming harder and harder to hear, but outside the States, the cries are mounting rapidly. Why won't Americans consider the views of people in other countries? Chalk it up to our steadfast arrogance and selfishness.
