2008-10-14T21:15:00.003-04:00

In the great scheme of things one has to wonder what, with all the hubbub over this and that in this most disgusting of political campaigns, those who pretend to be paying attention might think of this latest from the Sainted 9 up on the Hill. Not so much like November 2000. Worse. One might say dastardly.

Primum non nocere as the saying goes has never been Africom's modus operandus in spite of their protestations to the contrary. They certainly are not sharing their largesse from their bloated web site with the average dial-up user on the African continent. Click the Africon image to see some of your tax dollars at work.
I find this site very useful for following the larger issues of our hegemonic tendencies in Africa.

"We didn't realise that the water under these ice streams was moving in such large quantities, and on such short time scales. We thought these changes took place over years and decades, but we are seeing large changes over months. The detected motions are astonishing in magnitude, dynamic nature and spatial extent," Dr Fricker said.

The study was conducted using the Icesat satellite,600 kilometres up in space.

How will this influence the movement of ice toward the sea? They don't want to say yet, but..."It's essentially the grease on the wheel," said Professor Bindschadler.

One followed orders, and then there were eight.

Six little Irishmen were singing, "Saints alive!"

A written answer it'll be very interesting to see. From today's Condi testimony ...
Sen. Webb: And this is a question that can be answered either very briefly or through written testimony, but my question is: Is it the position of this administration that it possesses the authority to take
unilateral action against Iran in the absence of a direct threat without congressional approval?
Secy. Rice: Senator, I'm really loathe to get into questions of the president's authorities without a rather more clear understanding of what we are actually talking about. So let me answer you, in fact, in writing. I think that would be the best thing to do.
Sen. Webb: I would appreciate that.

2006-12-13T00:30:00.000-05:00

though I steer clear of same while posting- Barak Obama has my sympathy for his plight and all, his former antiwar stance et al but WTF is he doing running for President when that position has been made so irrelevant by its current occupant? Is running for office the only way he considers that he might change the slip sliding away of the empire? In a nutshell, it seems like a total waste of time. Not that the empire doesn't deserve to crumble. And not that the media loves to divert everyone's attention. It's the buzz that counts.
