US kills another 10 people in latest Pakistan attack:Ten more people, three of them reportedly foreigners, were killed and over a dozen sustained serious injuries in two different missile attacks by the CIA-operated spy aircraft in South and North Waziristan tribal region on Friday evening.
There is a widespread consensus that the decade we've just brought to a close was singularly disastrous for the country. We don't have a definitive name for this era, though Paul Krugman's 2003 book The Great Unraveling captures well the sense of slow, inexorable dissolution; and the final crisis of the era, what we call the Great Recession, similarly expresses the sense that even our disasters aren't quite epic enough to be cataclysmic. But there is simply no alternative other than to give in and let the field turn hard and barren.
From Jason Miller:
Bite Club protested KUMC’s primate torture and murder yesterday.
‘I just sent this email message and link to my blog post about our protest to the University of Kansas Medical Center officials (whose contact info is listed at the bottom of the Bite Club post--please contact them and tell them to stop torturing primates!)
Here’s the message I sent the monkey torturers:
Rather than having your entourage of gun-toting thugs patrolling and videoing us, why didn’t you have them attempt to incarcerate and torture Saylor and I against our wills rather than inflicting your sadistic savagery on voiceless, innocent monkeys? We caged ourselves and waited for you to come for us…’.

What Bush Did to Haiti
If a group of dedicated scholars, attorneys, journalists, and activists had tried to generate a comprehensive list of impeachable offenses committed by George W. Bush as president, and only 35 of them had been introduced into Congress, one of the many discarded ones, in rough and overly detailed form, might have read something like this.

The most terrible earthquake rocked Haiti. Haitians need humanitarian help, emergency rescue. But US sent a bipartisan military invasion. It’s been five days since the earthquake, victims still await help. The time for rescue is over. The survivors need relief from suffering: water, food, medicine, medical treatment and Haiti needs to rebuilding. Pentagon guns don’t heal or rebuild. Go home, Haiti doesn’t need more pain.

This is not a pitch :) but for anyone interested, there is an online Bible and here, you can access just about any verse or chapter or ‘book’ …Thought you might be interested. It certainly took a lot of work to do this, and it really takes the headache away for those who search for certain passages. – Luc Majno |
