From bad to worse is the new sub-text slogan for Bush and his administration. Appearing on US media, flanked by Cheney, Rumsfeld and numerous other (wooden) neo-cons, Bush repeated his rehearsed lines – “we are problem solvers”. This statement met with numerous reporters clearing their throats; the problem is Bush and his inept administration. The emperor is not only without clothes but is also devoid of ability. The corporate driven Bush government is learning that managing a nation has little in common with running an oil company. [Those best suited for government are dedicated to the selfless service of others – a concept totally alien to conservative ideology.] read full story / add a comment

"So we grabbed my Canon digital rebel and my Sony videocamera and started walking down the street," Marble wrote. "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

Another story of "the government won the elections". 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

Check your calendar. Tomorrow is a big day. Its marks the date that modern history began. Michael Moore got his oscar, Iraqis got their freedom, and Haliburton made over a billion because of that day. And just in time, "the ones you keep your eye on" next door in Engurland have flown the big kite. read full story / add a comment

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

While most people are more affected by email rather than mobile spammers, it's still good to see at least one company get a conviction for spamming people and interrupting their ability to communicate. Hopefully, it will send a salutary message to other unethical direct marketeers. read full story / add a comment

The report finds that the legal agreements governing the project place a ‘price tag’ on human rights by creating financial disincentives for the governments of Chad and Cameroon to protect human rights. The agreements may require the two countries to pay large financial penalties if they interrupt the operation of the pipeline or oil-fields – even when making an intervention to protect rights and enforce laws that apply elsewhere in their countries. This makes it extremely difficult for Chad and Cameroon to take action against company malpractice, and for individuals adversely affected by the pipeline to obtain redress. read full story / add a comment
