Bush
What we should really be worried about...
George Bush would like us to believe that the threats against America are the collusion of Saddam Hussein and al-Quada (unsubstantiated) or the ready-to-go WMDs in Iraq (not found) or the moral anarchy inspired same-sex marriage (riiiight), but his own Pentagon, Donald Rumsfeld’s playground, is reporting that the number-one likely cause of an imbalance in world stability will be attributed to neither homosexuals or botched war justifications. It will be…
Global Warming
That’s right, the Republican administration who withdrew the US from the Kyoto protocol in a fit of long-sighted stewardship of the global ecosystem but a few short years ago, has now been hit by a surprise of its own, the number one threat to US security, the thing most likely to spike the number of red days according to the Department of homeland security is Global Warming.

Scientific progress...
I may be pro-Separation between church and state, and I may have reconciled, to some degree, my difficulty with God (but not religion).
But I think George Bush’s war on stem-cell research is cutting us off (no pun intended) from the greatest source of analgesic research ever known. It would be like stopping the genome project halfway through.

Evil women and eros
There was recently some furor about Lynndie England, a PFC in Iraq, having been party to shameful behavior towards POWs. There’s something particularly stunning about women being party to such things.
They have the ability to quicken life itself inside of them - isn’t that quintessentially male quality of torture - the slow, debasing, infliction of humiliation seem all the more shocking having come from a female?
More thoughts on Stem Cell and the Culture of Life

Mythos
“There is something about this land (Iraq) which invites mythical storytelling.”
The War on Terror, as seen by a Unix admin
Once you learn Unix you see things differently. With Apple having embraced Unix as an underpinning, perhaps one could now “See and Think Different”.
In any case, Unix users will laugh at this interpretation of the “War on Terror’, as Unix systems administration.
Freedom is on the move in Iraq
Why just look at these before and after shots.
