Revised and expanded from last year’s “Memorial Day” post.
Since, as Paddy Chayefsky has his main character say in his movie The Americanization of Emily,

A young man who works in the oil field in the Texas Panhandle and that I personally know, got the following notice with his paycheck this last Friday, 05-09-08. THIS IS NOT A RUMOR! I have held the actual notice in my own hands, seen the actual notice with my own [...]

Our peace-loving organ of the state, a.k.a. the New York Times has come through once again. On the fifth anniversary of our glorious act of generosity towards the Iraqi people, “all the news that’s fit to print” carefully features the finer thoughts of a remarkably sorry set of warmongers and war aficionados.
From the [...]

Americans love their war heroes. It doesn’t matter where the war was fought, why it was fought, how it was fought, or what the war cost. Every battlefield is holy; every cause is just; every soldier is a potential hero. But what is it that turns an ordinary soldier into a war [...]
Imperialism is the single-greatest cause of war, and war is the midwife of new imperialist acquisitions.

The delegates are bound to McCain only for the first few rounds of voting at the convention. You see, the national convention is, in and of itself, an actual election. Only this time is the only election the really matters in determining who the party’s nominee will be. Some states send “bound” [...]

Americans are taught to expect their elected leaders to be relatively honest. But it wasn’t always like that. In the mid 1800s, people joked about political candidates who claimed to have been born in a log cabin that they built with their own hands. [...]

How does the United States come to arrogate to itself the right and the need to overthrow the governments of countries that have not attacked ours?
One guy who has a theory on that is Stephen Kinzer, the long-time New York Times foreign correspondent. Kinzer has written book-length treatments of [...]
As we enter the 21st century and a new millennium, Satan has devised the delusion that mankind is entering into an important evolutionary phase – a New Age. The push for “global enlightenment” has now extended to the vast reaches of the universe, into what could be deemed as a “space” religion. However, once this [...]

(Nanowerk News) Some day – perhaps sooner than we think – we just might be saying “the transhuman race” instead of “the human race.”
