Mel Gibson in vino veritas
Was Mel Gibson speaking his mind when he was pulled over for drunk driving? No doubt he was. In Vino Veritas. It wouldn’t be in Latin if it weren’t true. Discounting some of the vociferous hyperbole owed to his drunken … Continue reading
Middle East sibling rivalry no holds barred
Can I explain the current cataclysm in Lebanon? The media doesn’t want to do it. Unfortunately for them, it’s becoming a simpler story at each denouement. Here’s an interesting overview: Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land. And here’s a chronology … Continue reading
What happens after you drink the Kool-aid
Drinking the Kool-aid is an interesting illustration, a cliche to lampoon those who do not question what their leaders tell them. To drink Kool-aid at all seems stupid enough, but do we forget Jonestown, Guyana and what was in … Continue reading
Hezbolla is HizbAllah
Hizb’Allah means the Party of God. The party of Allah. The allegiance to god is clear in the spelling Hizb’Allah. This is the way Moslems spell it, this is how al-Jazeera spells it. Even Hizballah or Hezballah is more clear. … Continue reading
Medical malreporting
I heard a report the other day about the new medicare prescription drug benefit choices and the donut hole trap for for many seniors. Weak as the various plans are, several of them have lapses of coverage. You’re covered for … Continue reading
Israel promises to retaliate 10 to 1
In the days when Hitler occupied Europe, the Nazis had a problem with insurgency. At that time it was called the resistance. Resistance fighters, usually ordinary civilians, conducted espionage, acts of sabotage and executions of collaborators or Germans when they … Continue reading

Reframing Iraq War My Bad
Bill Clinton, speaking in support of Neocon Democrat Joe Lieberman, attempted to bridge the gap by saying, “It doesn’t matter whether one supported the Iraq war or not, the question is what do we do now?” We’re hearing that kind … Continue reading
Inured to war crime.
In a recent harder-than-usual puff piece report, the Stars and Stripes described a day of hunting insurgents in Fallujah. Nevermind that Fallujah was supposed to have been pacified, razed to the ground more precisely, and barricaded to such an … Continue reading
Shit hits fan writ American War Crime
US servicemen are escaping charges of murder in court because they can claim they were following orders. Actually, their official Rules Of Engagement: “Kill all military age males.” Kill all military age males?! That’s an actual ROE? That’s a … Continue reading
Shit hits fan writ in Hebrew
Israel is delivering a lot of shit into the fan, and the US is shoveling to resupply them as fast as we can. The world wants an immediate cease-fire but the US objects because we say Hizb’Allah [Hezbollah] will not … Continue reading
Shit hits fan writ large
It’s a hot summer this year, isn’t it? Record-breaking temperatures on this continent and others. Record number of wild fires. Is this global warming? Can’t blame it on an isolated El Nino this time. Polar ice is melting and finally … Continue reading
Tree rings for skeptics of science
Whenever there is talk about the age of mankind, or the solar system, or the universe, a friend of mine delights in adding, “IN THEORY.” If the calculations denote an earthly past beyond the scale of a Creationist’s 7,000 year … Continue reading

Bush the yapping idiot
In Al Gore’s film AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, much is made of Gore’s new found demeanor. Yes he’s a lot smoother and passionate. It helps that the camera captures him more intimately, and that he had directorial control over how he … Continue reading
Chain emails and Saint George
About this time each year for some reason, a certain friend of mine gets into a panic and passes on chain emails in renewed hope that she will come into money. Last year she sent everyone the It-Really-Works-Bill-Gates-Will-Pay-You-$275K email. A … Continue reading
Impeachment prospects
The problem with impeachment is that Republicans control the houses which possess the power to initiate articles of impeachment. There are a number of offenses for which Bush could be run out of office, there are 4 or 17 listed … Continue reading
World Trade Center vs. Silent Partner
WORLD TRADE CENTER, Oliver Stone’s sentimental take on 9/11 heroism comes out this summer. I have nothing against a story which describes the travails of two New York City cops and their families caught up in the World Trade Center … Continue reading

Zidane is not a son of a Harki
Harki is Algerian for collaborator. Zenedine Zindane has publically refutted the accusation before. “Zizou” Zidane could not even speak the word on TV when asked what taunt had provoked his now infamous headbutt in the last ten minutes of … Continue reading
Fawcett hole-in-the-head

Who are the unlawful combatants?
Who are the combatants fighting an illegal war? It’s US. The entire of the world, not including the Murdoch NewsCorp empire of Britain, Australia and the US, have declared the Iraq War to have been an illegal act of agression. … Continue reading
What can be done?
Knee-jerk patriots accuse critics of US actions of having nothing to suggest by way of alternatives. Indeed pseudo-rivals like the Democrats aren’t speaking any differently than the GOP. But the answers have been out there and they are quite simple. … Continue reading
