There is utopianism on both sides of the spectrum - the failing of the capitalist model seems to me to be that there are no efficient markets to protect a shared ecosystem. (pollution credits have been one idea, but that requires regulation.)

Nothing but groupthink out of him.

Ski suit!!

There was an interesting article by Fareed Zakaria this week that suggests that the greater conflict may not shape up to be Islam vs. the West but Islam vs. Islam. It's worth a look: http://www.fareedzakaria.com/articles/articles.html

Aren't you being a little hard on the finger painting community?

You don't like morality tales of self-destruction very much, do you?

actually the piece was stupidly titled - the writer does not have much control over the headline and the piece does not address any connection between a war toll and the shape of advertising other than an opening insinuation. Also there is no corroborating interviews with the folks that made the commercials to see if Iraq is what they had in mind. It is sloppy editing for their business section.

I just watched it on tape. Doing a mash up of Dylan and the Foo Fighters was pretty cool, and doing Purple Rain in the Rain actually had me wondering if he was performing under sprinklers or something. He was pretty good, which makes him great in a slot that is usually a suck-fest.

"Snoopy come Home" was a masterful blend of loss and ennui. We are manipulated by the proposition that our pets could have loved some anonymous owner equally. It filled me with a Sartesian sense of detachment.

I can't think of a better choice than Marv.

Okay, I read it again and I think I know what he means. He is upset not with the Verdict, but with the Sentence Quite an important distinction.

The big news here may be him openly flaunting his heterosexual behavior.

I am just puzzled about what pdh1 means, should we be upset with the verdict? Who is going to have a riot? White folks because one did not get a hate crime conviction, or black folks because the verdict was unjust? Now that I have taken the time to read it, I am just curious because I can't figure out his point.

years of white oppression boiling over?

not to be an ass, but can somebody indiscriminately oppose all wars? wouldn't the word be consistently? I understand your point, however.

Enjoying retirement, Monseigneur?

He's kind of sexy for a man his age, though. Like Sean Connery, but from Tennessee, and with longer sentences, and whiter. And his daughter wrote the first 3 seasons of Futurama. (okay those were the sucky ones, but still)

Only one buck sergeant is assigned to that, but there is a plan.

Ken couldn't be President, so he is running for Llama.

Gomez Adams: We are the luckiest brothers on Earth. We are unworthy of such splendor, undeserving of such radiance. Uncle Fester: Uh, that's right. We should have... ugly girls.

No comment on the article, but I am pretty sure William M. Arkin is a blogger on the Washington Post website, not a print columnist.

I didn't have time to read it but I assume Ama Lee is on the list.

They say Vick is a coach killer, but I think more precisely he is a WR killer.

This speech needed a soundtrack: John and Yoko's "All I am saying, is give war a chance"
