I think

I think I've cut my typo rate down a full .08 percent. Woo-hoo! (I maintain the typographical errors as some sort of charming artfulness.)

Erstwhere

Pat Tillman had a diary, which was destroyed.Â Hoo boy!
The basic problem with hearing about the death of Tom Snyder is I tend to regard him as the man that David Letterman replaced, and I scurry about for a quick youtube interview and end up at Charles Manson. What are you gonna do?

It can’t be just the translation that makes this whole thing funky, can it?

A panel discussion for the question: Should Holocaust Denial be criminalized?

The Stupid Season Commences: Hillary Clinton and her neckline.

The GOP’s Reagan Problem transfers to the GOP’s Thatcher Problem.

Don’t know.

Why did it work on Kronberg? When I read the briefing memo that triggered his suicide, I immediately remembered the LaRouche organization’s carefully crafted Get Dennis King campaign in 1980–and what I felt when they delivered their coup de grace: a phone call from one of the women in the organization’s W. 58th Street office asking, “Dennis, haven’t you committed suicide yet?”

The shock I experienced from this phone call and preceding events quickly turned into anger and outrage, but this might not have been the case if I had faced the terrible kind of bind that Kronberg would face 27 years later. The suicide suggestion to him came not from an anonymous member of a group he disdained–as was the case with me–but from a man he had regarded with great reverence for over 30 years and from the organization that had been the center of his life during that entire period. Thus, I suspect, he could not turn his feelings outwards against his tormentors very easily, and his outrage and pain rebounded upon himself. Â Â Also note, for the record, that some pages have been pulled from Larouche’s website.Â This one, for instance.

New book about the Fascist Plot to overthrow FDR

The effect of Uriah Heep on fish.

Harry Potter spoof gets a copyright infringement legal notice. Goddanged muggles.

Taboo Ideas Galore.

The Dark Hour of our Republic. Executive Privilege: Into the breach of Dangerous waters. I get that sickening feeling again about the nature of our nation’s politics, and the nature of the nation’s government as a result. (Also: remembering Watergate).

Startling prediction from the past which has come true! Future Newspapers Written by Advertisers! Indeed.

Actors, Actors, Actors. Actually I think the Bush Administration is just projecting.

Political allegiances and The Designated Hitter rule. It makes sense intuitively. For the record, I’m fine with the Designated Hitter.

Fake book covers to hide that you are reading the latest Harry Potter book.

Chris Matthews calls Judith Miller a hero.Â And suddenly a lot of things become a lot clearer.

I’m trying to figure out if the Big Eye Man is in any way protesting the Russian Government, and the nature of the leafletting (anti-Putin or part of the Putin Youth Movement?)

Satire in Chinese news. The wave of the future for critical commentary.

A controversial idea, I’ll say that. Solidarity with the Iraqi Resistance, per the Alexander Cockburns of the nation.

This is not the first time that I have seen Fox News tap an (this?) official from “The New Black Panther Party” to discuss a racially-tinged controversy.Â Goddamned Fox News stinks.

Let him have his say.Â Bilderberg and on.

WTF? is this “Independent Movement” Fred Newman is talking about?

Number Theory and the Bush Administration.

Good Luck in battling this regime.
