Clinton still takes lying lightly
In a recent phone interview with Larry King, former President Bill Clinton proclaimed that “everybody makes mistakes when they are president” in regards to Bush’s lies regarding Iraq. This is not much of a surprise of course as he too took lying to the People lightly a few years back. Unfortunately this time it’s more [...]
Filesharer = felon?
One of the House Judiciary Committee’s latest actions once again gives me the impression that certain politicians are nothing more than puppets of the big multinational corporations, in this case servants of the media conglomerates, instead of serving The People. They have come up with the Author, Consumer & Computer Owner Protection and Security Act [...]
Cheney under pressure to resign
Over the last few days and weeks, the issue of the Niger part of the forged evidence that was used by the US administration to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq has blown up. Retired members of the intelligence community, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, have recommended to pResident Bush that he ask [...]
Iraqi “self rule”
According to the BBC, the Iraqi National Council recently held its first meeting. While the mainstream media will see this as a “start of Iraq’s independence” it is nothing more than a joke, even worse than the supposedly democractic government of Afghanistan. The majority of the members of the council have not lived in Iraq [...]
White House not interested in fighting AIDS at home
The administration’s newest move to deprive the American People of a good life comes in the form of a diversion of funds from AIDS research to development of an Anthrax vaccine, all while Bush is touting their support for fighting AIDS in Africa, something which may be nothing more than a PR ploy. This is [...]
Next ‘Dr. Who’ to be a cartoon series
One of the most popular science fiction series, which at least in the UK often beats Star Trek in terms of popularity, Dr. Who, has been on hiatus for over ten years but is apparently coming back in November of this year. Unfortunately it is not the comeback many fans had hoped for, or at [...]
MSNBC’s attempt at competing with Fox “News” backfires
After Fox “News” started gaining in popularity and Donahue was starting to look to liberal for the corporate media environment, MSNBC decided to fire Donahue and instead give Michael Savage, well known for his extreme right views, his own show. This week, MSNBC fired Savage after he had wished AIDS upon a caller to his [...]
Could Ozzy be senile after all?
Now I used to think of Ozzy more as the charming dad and rock legend, but statements like this make me second guess my judgement: “I used to think they should legalize pot, but you know what? They should ban the lot. One thing leads to another. Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads [...]
The giant wasteland that is American television
In a recent speech, John Willis, the BBC’s Director of Factual & Learning, spoke some of the most true words about American TV I have heard in a long time. In the short period he spent here he gained a very good insight into how abismal our TV stations’ situation really is. The following is [...]
Happy 4th of July!
Today the United States celebrates the 227th anniversary of its independence. Despite the relatively young age many events led to its core status as the beacon of freedom and prosperity it is today. Here’s to celebrating the true American values, most of which were set out in the Bill of Rights, and not the fake [...]
Barry White dead at 58
After the surprise passing away of Audrey Hepburn earlier this week, singer Barry White has also died. He died at a comparatively young age of 58 of kidney failure. What ever will couples do now?
