"John Kerry has filed with the state of Ohio to protect 'evidence' regarding the recent election.

Simultaneously, the Ohio Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell, has requested that he be exempt from having to answer any questions regarding the election.

Coincidence?"

Chicken Foot Stew: The Skies Are a Lot Less Friendly These Days

"Union members who work for airlines are being forced to take serious pay and benefit cuts, sometimes more than once. New flight attendants can make as little as $12,000 a year, less than what they could make at Wal-Mart. Oh, and bankruptcy judges force unions to accept pay cuts whilst leaving CEO pay in tact."

Dominion Weblog: Bush Authorized Torture?

"'The two-page e-mail that references an Executive Order states that the President directly authorized interrogation techniques including sleep deprivation, stress positions, the use of military dogs, and 'sensory deprivation through the use of hoods, etc.''
-ACLU

The Guardian's spin on it is a little more subdued: Memos show FBI agents complained about abuses at Guant�namo Bay

Chinese government is arresting journalists, apparently.

An Indian schoolboy took a cellphone photo of his girlfriend in the midst of a sexual act, sold the photo on the Indian equivalent of eBay, and provoked an international incident with eBay's Indian CEO in jail and Condoleeza Rice at the fore of an 'diplomatic row'.

100,000 people have been displaced by fighting in the Congo.

George Monbiot: 'The US government is engaged in a global war with itself. It is like a robin attacking its reflection in a window.'"

Basically I took this whole post from The Dominion, thougth it was good.

Human Iterations

William has added me to his list of people to read, very flattering.

Currently though, I am working my ass off, I am tired, I am dealing with the holidays and I am still grieving for MB, my friend who was killed in an auto accident several weeks ago.

So... if you are reading my weblog through an RSS feed reader, such as Bloglines, then you could really care less how often I am posting. If you are reading this site by just jumping over here, you have noticed I haven't updated in a while, and you will stop coming here because there is nothing new. I suggest you get an RSS feed reader, it makes reading weblogs easier, because you don't have to care when someone is updating their weblog, you may just be plesantly surprised when they post after a long while.

or not... happy holidays...

"remember the Baseline Bums? HoopsHype: Stern rewards Detroit's latest Bad Boys at least one sports columnist realizes that Detroit's fans aren't the first to interrupt an NBA game by harrassing the players...

|Piston fans have raised the bar. Let’s see if San Antonio’s notorious “Baseline Bums” can provoke Kevin Garnett, Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell, thereby eliminating the team that’s most likely to defeat the Spurs in the Western Conference. Stern’s ruling gives the Bums all the incentive they need. Are they up to the task?|"

News From The Ministry Of Truth: Networks Deem Acceptance Controversial

"CBS cites the issue of gay couples as too controversial to air, despite the nearly constant exposure to the issue through the recent elections. CBS also cites 'the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks.' This just goes to show the sway that the white house has over major networks."

"And you thought American sex ed was looney now:

'The Bush administration is funding sexual health projects that teach children that HIV can be contracted through sweat and tears, touching genitals can result in pregnancy, and that a 43-day-old foetus is a thinking person...Other 'facts' include that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, half the gay male teenagers in the US have tested positive for HIV, and condoms fail to prevent transmission of HIV in 31% of incidences of heterosexual intercourse.' - The Guardian"
