I Saw This on the Web

I surf the web. A LOT. And I'm always seeing things that I want to remember, but I can never remember what I saw where -- just that "I saw it." Thus this new blog.

Stephen Zunes: The Democrats' Twisted Morality

Stephen Zunes: The Democrats' Twisted Morality: "the Democratic Party apparently believes that leading our country into a disastrous war on false pretenses, a decision which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and has brought untold suffering to millions, is of significantly less moral consequence than committing adultery."

What Price Victory?

Give me no more talk of "victory!" Give me, instead, the happy babble of these men and women's sons and daughters, playing with their still-alive parents in a park somewhere in a peaceful suburbia. Here in America, or there in Iraq.

The Blog | Philip Slater: METHINKS THE HOMOPHOBE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH | The Huffington Post

"Men and women who are comfortably heterosexual aren't obsessed with stamping out homosexuality. Normal, non-neurotic people don't care what other people do in the privacy of their own homes. Normal heterosexual men don't spend their Saturday nights hanging around gay bars to beat up gays--they're out with women. It is by no means coincidental that so many homophobes are also misogynists."

The Local - Hard porn during Swedish news show

Under the "Maybe we should try this here at home" category ---

Public broadcaster SVT has said it plans on investing more on drama programs to lure in the younger audience, but the station’s news program last night has left some sceptical.

Last night, as responsible late night TV viewers in Sweden were watching an informative presentation of the latest political poll numbers on the country’s public service SVT station, hard core group sex could be seen playing on one of the numerous video screens over the presenter's shoulder."

My Way News - Some Ohio Families Refuse to Claim Bodies: "In one instance, a woman contacted the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, which handles indigent cases, to pay for the funeral of her dying mother-in-law, said Trey Wackerly, a Canton funeral director and member of the organization.

At first the woman claimed she couldn't afford it, but when Wackerly pressed her, she acknowledged that there was insurance money, but that her family didn't like the mother-in-law and hoped to use the cash to remodel their kitchen."

It may say 'Support Our Troops' in black ink, but what it's really saying is 'I've been manipulated by politicians and cynical preachers into supporting an Administration that mistreats our veterans, disrespects our soldiers, and sacrifices them both on a whim.'

This Memorial Day, you can truly honor our fallen heroes - by fighting for their comrades who are still among us.

The Blog | Davis Sweet: An America-Shaped Thing | The Huffington Post

The Blog | Davis Sweet: An America-Shaped Thing | The Huffington Post: "Without freedom, and I mean huge freedom that makes you feel so good you could write a song, you may as well throw the flag in mothballs. Under this regime, the stars and stripes is merely a logo on a knock-off version of America, like a crooked Tag-Heuer stamp on one of the ten dollar watches you can buy at Ground Zero. It's still an America-shaped thing, but the cheap version can never be something you'd feel proud leaving to your heirs.

So when you talk about America (or, if you're John Edwards, some multiple of same), remember to specify whether you're talking about the classic America, with its planet-inspiring Constitution intact, or the King Bush 'New America - Now 99 and 44/100ths percent Freedom-free!'"

It's emotional, it causes people to revert to jingoism and uber-nationalism (and to a certain degree racism). Every day corporate America dodges responsibility and ships your jobs overseas by the freighter load. However, we don't see fiery speeches on the Senate floor regarding corporate responsibility. Don't get wrapped up in the job issue, it's a joke, an issue that has been crafted to get your attention... don't let it happen to you."

Eliot Weinberger 1/15/03 - New York: Sixteen Months After

Eliot Weinberger 1/15/03 - New York: Sixteen Months After: "Perhaps the problem is that there are no words to describe this Administration. All the pejoratives, however accurate, that might be applied-- 'warmongers' and 'imperialists,' 'corrupt' and 'bloodthirsty,' 'fanatical' and 'criminal'—have been drained of their meaning by decades of propaganda. They are as banal as the rhetoric of the think tanks. Small wonder that American writers have generally been either silent or bathetic ('9/11 reminded me of the day my father died') on all that has happened in the last two years. We no longer have the words to even think about what is happening, about violence that is not 'just like a movie,' about people like Cheney and Rumsfeld and Perle and Wolfowitz and Rice and Ashcroft and Bush, who are not Pol Pot or Stalin or Hitler, who are lesser forms of evil, but evil nonetheless. To begin to talk about them is to relive the old nightmare of the scream with no sound."

What Is Happening in America? by Eliot Weinberger Vorwarts, June 1, 2003 (a publication of the German Social Democratic Party)

What Is Happening in America? by Eliot Weinberger Vorwarts, June 1, 2003 (a publication of the German Social Democratic Party): "This is, quite simply, the most frightening American administration in modern times, one that is appalling both to the left and to traditional conservatives. This junta is unabashed in its imperialist ambitions; it is enacting an Orwellian state of Perpetual War; it is dismantling, or attempting to dismantle, some of the most fundamental tenets of American democracy; it is acting without opposition within the government, and is operating so quickly on so many fronts that it has overwhelmed and exhausted any popular opposition.
Perhaps it cannot be stopped, but the first step toward slowing it down is the recognition that this is an American government unlike any other in this country's history, and one for whom democracy is an obstacle."

FEMA Broke Its Promise on Housing, Houston Mayor Says - New York Times

....[A]nother FEMA spokesman, Don Jacks, said that stopping the hotel subsidies would not force anyone to become homeless or lose a night sleeping in a bed.

"This is not an ending," Mr. Jacks said. "We're not forcing anyone out of hotels. Yes, we will stop paying for hotel rooms the night of Nov. 30, and on Dec. 1 these people will need to be ready to move."

Those unable to find apartments may be offered other interim accommodations, possibly even another hotel if necessary, he said, adding, "No one will be left on the street."

*******************

Am I misinterpreting? They will have to move, but we're not forcing them out? And we might offer them other accommodations?

ummmm... okay. Sure. That makes sense, right?

Can I Get a Little Privacy? - New York Times

Can I Get a Little Privacy? - New York Times: "If the Republicans can propose a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, why can't the Democrats propose a right to privacy amendment? Making this implicit right explicit would forever end the debate about whether there is a right to privacy. And the debate over the bill would force Republicans who opposed it to explain why they don't think Americans deserve a right to privacy - which would alienate not only moderates, but also those libertarian, small-government conservatives who survive only in isolated pockets on the Eastern Seaboard and the American West."

Up here in the north, neoliberal policies have demolished the American dream for many Yankees who can no longer afford education, or decent housing, or who are bankrupted by illness. The great gains brought about by union struggles, the New Deal, and the Great Society have been whittled away steadily since Ronald Reagan was first elected and brought the neoliberal agenda to power with him."
