Check these

I have been far too busy to do any writing of substance lately, a situation that may continue for the next few weeks. Readers here may find these interesting (in addition of course to my wonderful links collection on the right) for the time being.

A Woman's Worst Nightmare >
By Cindy Sheehan


Parecon on YouTube >
(If you don't know what parecon is you've not been reading carefully enough.)


Linguistic Somersaults in an Age of Aggression and State Terrorism >
By Edward S. Herman


Land of the Free >
By James Vicini (Reuters)


The Empire and Inequality Report, volume I, no. 4 >
By Paul Street


Meat Contributes to Climate Change >
By Megan Tady (Kudos to The NewStandard. It is a good thing when more "hard news" sources connect diet to environmental issues.)


Let them eat cake (or a Yule log or cookies shaped like Barney) >
By Tim Grieve
(This is an article about what the filthy pig* of a war criminal-in-chief and his guests will be served during White House holiday receptions. Sometimes salon.com forces you to watch a goddamn commercial before viewing content. I just had to view some shitty commercial for an SUV with text like "I hope to leave the world better than I found it". Seems like an appeal not to buy a fucking SUV if you ask me.)

*No offense to pigs
