"And then right in front of the destroyed tennis court I used to play on Dick Cheney was giving a pep rally, talking to the press. The Secret Service guys patted us down and waved the wands over us, and then let us pass." As he stood about 10 feet away from Cheney and his friend and some camera operators from CNN and other media filmed the scene, Marble suddenly yelled, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!" read full story / add a comment

What was once a joke, is increasingly true, one doesn't need to count the ink thumbs, or even trust the polls, all you need to ask is - "who is the current government and do the west like them?" Answer "yes" they won. Answer "no" they lost. read full story / add a comment

For instance, the latest one. The biggest clue about who our intrepid crew of fearless reporters believe their readers are, lies in the advertising.

This summer flooding really came to Europe. Almost 50 died, a very small figure which reflected community awareness and good municipal responses. But all scientific evidence now suggests that these incidents are best to be considered as part of a new pattern related to global climate change. We are not dealing with the causes in the short-term. We are thus dealing with effects which are long term. Proverbially the time to put that first stitch has passed now.- We now face forest fires and flooding of the largest river valleys in summer and extreme storms with tornados in spring and summer. read full story / add a comment |
