Halliburton awarded Iraqi firefighting contract – I’m sure it’s a complete coincidence that VP Cheney used to work there.
Something that Gringo may find especially interesting: Mixed Feelings: San Diego / Tijuana, a documentary on PBS. The site says it airs “March 26th” but then all the reviews are from last year, so maybe it’s not news after all. Wish they’d put a year on there somewhere.
Time says it better than I could: Shame on You, Mr. Moore! Shame on You!
It’s not so much the message as the delivery, if you want to sway anyone to your point of view. Sure, plenty of people cheer Michael Moore’s antics. Those people already agreed with him. If he intended to influence anyone who was ambivalent, he just added some fuel to the “anti-war protestors are nuts” fire. It’s too bad, because you could make a pretty solid guess that most of the members of the audience agreed with him, just based on the stunned silence that greeted him. Scared of blacklists, much?
Futurama is on DVD. I can totally get behind owning the complete Futurama series, oh, yeah…
This gadget to translate between dogs and humans sounds suspiciously like the toy I got in a Happy Meal the other day.
