Scientists Accuse White House of Distorting Facts
"The Bush administration has deliberately and systematically
distorted scientific fact
in the service of policy goals
on the environment, health, biomedical research
and nuclear weaponry at home and abroad,
a group of about 60 influential scientists,
including 20 Nobel laureates,
said in a statement issued today."

Guardian tribute to Bill Hicks

Here's the essence of Affect Control Theory

*You (and every individual) create events
to confirm the sentiments that you have
about yourself and others in the current situation.

*If events don't work to maintain sentiments
then you reidentify others or yourself.

*In the process of building events to confirm sentiments,
you are performing social roles that operate society.

John Dean:
New Iraq Commission Won't Be Investigating the Key WMD Issue
"They have loaded the commission with work
unrelated to the reasons the public
(and Congress) sought the inquiry.
Finally, they have created a study
that will be reported only to the president
(and vice president),
so unless Bush decides to disclose its work,
no one will ever know what was,
or was not, done by this commission.

Bush should be given an honorary membership
in the International Brotherhood of Magicians
for his latest political handiwork."

how much new information is created each year?

"How big is five exabytes?
If digitized, the nineteen million books
and other print collections
in the Library of Congress
would contain about ten terabytes of information;
five exabytes of information is equivalent
in size to the information contained
in half a million new libraries
the size of the Library of Congress print collections."

The Left Was Right
"One year ago this weekend,
an estimated ten million marched world wide
against Mr. Bush's planned invasion of Iraq."

"The optimist proclaims
that we live in the best of all possible worlds;
and the pessimist fears this is true."
