Mike's Blog Round Up
Largest Minority: "Prepare for War with Iran" Says France
TPM Cafe - Don Key's Blog: "Pity the Nation," a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
David Stephenson: Using the web to protest the war.
MadKane: So are you planning to run out and buy Greenspan’s self-serving, history-rewriting The Age of Turbulence? There’s really no need to, because MadKane has summed up the former Federal Reserve Chairman’s new book in a single haiku!
Hillbilly Report: Senators McConnell, Vitter, Craig.... Diapers, and The Ten Commandments, with bonus Youtube video!
Guest round up by Blue Gal . Thank goodness the panties my mother sent me never went "viral."
Thanks very much for linking my Greenspan post!
I can sum his book up even better.
ROB FROM THE POOR AND GIVE TO THE RICH.
The hood, Robbin
We should, indeed use the web to protest the war. When we use Conventional Media they do shit like this: A Tale Of Two Rallies
However, Stephenson's plan is really just using the web to organize off-web protests. Let's really use the web, i.e.....
Anybody got any other ideas?
Jeremy Scahill is rocking on democracynow.org
Shorter Alan Greenspan: "No one could have predicted that former oil executives would start a war for oil."
Bernard Kouchner, I dub thee: "Bernard Douche-ner". Ha! See what I did?
I want to sue God. Anyone wanna come with?
Thank you bluegal, I really liked the MadKane.com site.
On another note about Iran, I'm listening to Thom Hartmann right now, he's talking about how news papers outside the US are talking about Bush's upcoming bombing plans on Iran for the naked aggression that it would be, and how Democrats are largely going along with it. Are Democrats really still scared of looking weak or is this complicity?
It just seems like the Bush admin is marching to the next war easier than when they set up going to Iraq.

Very sad indeed to see a genuinely decent man (founder of the French Doctors etc...) be so completely wrong.
But then again Kouchner always had rather firm positions about foreign policies. This being said, advocating "le droit d'ingérence", e.g. a right to get involved in other countries internal affairs in cas of severe humantiarian crisis, is one thing ... but following America's lead in term of waging pre-emptive wars (especially after several years of Iraq fiasco) is another thing altogether !
Let me just say that Kouchner certainly does NOT reflect the general sentiment here in France ! (to put it mildly)
Largest Minority: “Prepare for War with Iran” Says France
there just doesn't seem to be an end to the brainless leaders in the world that our shit-for-brains president won't bully into more insipid foolishness.

and no one expects THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
