I'm having yet another purge of Bush-hate links:
BocaNews.com - I can sympathise with this. Frustrated Democrats in Florida (yes, your vote really doesn't count) are organising group therapy sessions to help them come to terms with events last November and cope with the next four years (as far as I know, not even 9/11 had this effect).
Bush Charges Nov 2004 Following on from the recent joke news item on plans to arrest Bush during a recent trip to Canada, one group of lawyers have drafted an outline of how to set about doing it for real.
This was from a recent edition of The New York Review of Books -
On War: "We are an isolated and reviled nation. We are tyrants to others weaker than ourselves. We have lost sight of our democratic ideals. Thucydides wrote of Athens' expanding empire and how this empire led it to become a tyrant abroad and then a tyrant at home. The tyranny Athens imposed on others it finally imposed on itself. If we do not confront our hubris and the lies told to justify the killing and mask the destruction carried out in our name in Iraq, if we do not grasp the moral corrosiveness of empire and occupation,
if we continue to allow force and violence to be our primary form of communication, we will not so much defeat dictators like Saddam Hussein as become them. "
Guardian Unlimited Film | Features | No sex, please, we're Republicans - good article on why the religious right is so afraid of Kinsey and therefore why the recent film about him has got them foaming at the mouth again. Haven't they worked out where little Republicans come from?
American Fundamentalists by Joel Pelletier depicting "Christ's Entry into Washington in 2008". You hope it won't happen but, deep down, you're not entirely sure.
Dubya - The Movie - the only thing that makes this bearable, even as a joke is that it's incredibly well-made.
Well, that - and the fact that it stars Don Knotts.
