Random RecitalsWe've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

We might get away with it for awhile, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Article by John on April 22nd, 2009 at 6:03 pm Krugman has an article today, Alice in financeland, that shows how sometimes following accounting rules leads to apparent absurdities. Because of market to market accounting rules and credit default swaps he says: …Citigroup is profitable because investors think it’s failing, while Morgan Stanley is losing money because investors think it will survive. I am not making this up. This is part of the problem of “too big [...]

Nowhere is [...]

Because regardless of how Condi Rice might object, the U.S. is guilty of civil rights abuses, human rights abuses, and torture: The International Committee of the Red Cross found “cruel, inhumane and degrading” treatment of detainees at the U.S. military prison [...]
Article by missy on November 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am I just heard on the radio that that DLC quisling Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s likely choice for Chief of Staff. Crap. While my opinion doesn’t mean squat, here’s my dream cabinet, which includes promoting FEMA back to cabinet level (and taking it out of Dept. of Homeland Security): Department of Agriculture: Senator Tom Harkin
Department of Commerce: Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon
Department of Defense: General Wesley Clark
Department of [...]
Article by missy on October 20th, 2008 at 10:48 am Yes, we hear that the rate of casualties among coalition forces has now exceeded those in Iraq, but we have heard nothing like this from the MSM. We have to get it from Rolling Stone: By the time we reach the town of Salar, only 50 miles south of Kabul, we have already passed five tractor-trailers from military convoys that have been destroyed by the [...]
