  • Adventure Capitalism

    From The Hidden 2001 Plan to Carve-up Iraq by Greg Palast, who is working overtime with the Florida ‘caging list’ and this as well: Why were Iraqi elections delayed? Why was Jay Garner fired? Why are our troops still there? Investigative reporter Greg Palast uncovers new documents that answer these questions and more about the […]

  • WTC Employee Sues Bush: He Knew

    [Rodriguez] has commenced, as Plaintiff, a federal court lawsuit against George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Donald H. Rumsfeld and others alleging that they and others were complicit in the 9-11 attacks, and either planned the attacks, or had foreknowledge of the attacks and permitted them to succeed, in order to exploit a “New Pearl […]

  • Janteloven

    A codification of the unwritten social rules of Scandinavia: You shall not think that you are special. You shall not think that you are of the same standing as us. You shall not think that you are smarter than us. Don’t fancy yourself as being better than us. You shall not think that you know […]

  • Secret Email Suggests Disrupting Black Vote in Florida

    Again, my man, Greg Palast rakes the muck: A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan – possibly in violation of US law – to disrupt voting in the state’s African-American voting districts, a BBC Newsnight investigation reveals. Two e-mails, prepared for the executive director of the Bush campaign […]

  • San Andreas

    Do the ads for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas make anyone else wanna be a gangbanger? I mean without the possibility of being imprisoned and stuff.

  • CIA Report on 9/11 Suppressed until after Election

    It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general’s office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years […]

  • Day After Tomorrow, The

    At least this movie featured the destruction of Los Angeles and New York City. I don’t understand how many more ways we can blow up, tear apart and demolish NYC with another round of fantastic special effects icing a tepid, pointless story. If you want to test out your surround sound – rent it. Otherwise, […]

  • 9 to 5

    I had forgotten what a great comedienne Dolly Parton was – and how much I love Lily Tomlin. The year we had cable when we were kids, my sister and I watched a few movies compulsively. Poltergeist was one of them. And another one was 9 to 5. Before Dilbert, before I had actually worked […]

  • You Are Beautiful

    On the air exhaust vents next to the Starbucks on Belmont and Clark is a small silver sticker that says You are beautiful. And then on the stoplight pole on Clark, Halsted and Barry (on the SportMart side) says You are beautiful. I always wondered where these came from. Now I know.

  • Nearly Total

    Dean reports: SWAT teams are patrolling BART with automatic weapons, “to prevent terrorism in advance of the national elections.” Meanwhile, contradictory speculation on the likely effect of a terrorist attack in the U.S. prior to November 2 abounds: a Kerry victory would embolden al Qaeda and the Iraqi resistance, according to Putin and Cheney; yet […]
