Unacceptable

 Civilizer
I repeat myself:  why, when a people are apocalyptically stricken by any number of scourges (genocide, natural disaster, starvation), does the world see fit to sit on its hands and allow the government which makes aid almost impossible to continue to govern?  They are killing their own people, either directly through violent repression or indirectly through the incompetent [...]

All Things In Their Place Regrets The Passing Of Tim Russert

One of the few people in the news business with the brains to know what questions to ask, and the balls to keep asking until they were answered.  He will be missed.  Desperately.
“Eternal rest grant upon them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.  May their souls, and the souls of all the [...]

And if all these conservatives are as fat as Rush Limbaugh, that’s a lot [...]

Trent Reznor Has Enough Ferraris, Apparently

I’m starting to think that somebody at one of the record labels backed over Trent Reznor’s dog. First the guy releases a brand new instrumental Nine Inch Nails album, Ghosts 1-4, on the NIN website, completely independent of any industry machinery. And he makes 1/4 of the album available for free. So many people rush [...]

Hillary Grabbed Working Class Voters Because Barack Didn’t

Civilizer
I think that an aspect of campaigns that often goes under-reported is how candidates define themselves in relation to their opponent. There is always a lot of ink spent and words uttered about a candidate branding themselves, defining who they are and what they’re about to the electorate. But I think what’s also important [...]

Hitch Strikes Again: Quote Of The Day

Christopher Hitchens in his Fighting Words column on Slate, running down former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith in the wake of Smith’s criticisms of John McCain’s temper:
He combines the body of an ox with the brains of a gnat. Indeed, if his brains were made of gunpowder and were to accidentally explode, the resulting bang would [...]
