"World needs a vacation from USA"
syncopath
by syncopath  9-24-2008    5
 He called for immediate technology transfer from the West to the Third World, to allow development based on clean technology — stressing the need to “reject intellectual property rights”. funds should not be distributed through the World Bank, which was trying to regain legitimacy by portraying itself as a “climate bank” while continuing to push fossil-fuel-driven development. Confronting global poverty and climate change means confronting US power. “I don’t think the world needs US leadership”, he said. “They should be more humble.” Whether the US achieves its goals “is where we, as civil society come in”, Bello said, suggesting that, by making intervention costly for the US, civil society could encourage a “new US isolationism”. The struggle is, he stressed, global. “The world needs a vacation from the messaianism of the US … A few decades of a self-absorbed US would be very good for the world.”

 Click through for captions & explanations of the photos. I love how scarred & battered their chair wheels are in the photo of the wheelchair rugby players. It seems that rugby is rugby, regardless of how you play it. I have a feeling that their street wheelchairs have the classic bumper sticker: "GIVE BLOOD: PLAY RUGBY". :-)

SNL Parody Of Palin and Clinton: Michael Phelps Hosts

by merrie  9-14-2008   
 "I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy," she said. "And I can see Russia from my house," Fey's Palin replied. Poehler continued, "I believe global warming is caused by man." "And I believe it's just God huggin' us closer," Fey responded. "What an amazing time we live in to think that just two years ago, I was a small-town mayor of America's crystal meth capital, and now I am just one heartbeat away from being the President of the United States," Fey chirped. "It just goes to show that anyone can be President - all you have to do is want it," Fey continued, prompting a cackle from Poehler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBFk9XC3YLs PHOTOS: WHICH CELEBS COULD PLAY PALIN? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/galleries/which_celeb_could_play_palin/which_celeb_could_play_palin.html

Sports Icons --- The Redeem Team Wins Gold
merrie
by merrie  8-28-2008   
 * Their patriotism. In nearly every interview, James and Bryant said how proud they were to be representing America. * Clutch play. We knew the Americans could win blowouts, and indeed most of the games were decided early. When the Redeem Team led Argentina by 20 points in the first quarter, you knew the outcome was not in doubt. * Teamwork and talent. Nobody hogged the ball. Wade said winning the gold showed that NBA stars could play with that same level of teamwork. They unquestionably did. There's also a time for great individual players to call for the ball and carry their team to victory, as Bryant did to turn back Spain. * Inspired picks. Chris Bosh was awfully scrawny to match up against European and South American teams. But he played brilliantly. I wasn't sure about Chris Paul at point guard either. Turns he's a world-class player. * Coaching. The hardest thing to get great basketball players to do is play defense. Yet Coach Mike Krzyzewski got the team to do just

 The current political mood of Britain is irrational. The government is suffering from the Mother of all Swings of the Pendulum. I think time is the only healer here. On September 28th one international commentator said that "Gordon Brown is the star of the UN". Yet he is villified in his own country, explain on one side of A4.

China Goes Out With a Bang.......
merrie
by merrie  8-26-2008   
 ........ and The Whimper of the Oppressed is Barely Heard........ I wonder, though, if anyone oohing and aahing over the fireworks in Beijing gave thought to the thousands of Chinese peasants who will die because their government took their water away so it could produce the fake beauty of the Olympic compound. Maybe we’ll see that story show up in an NBC news report, do you think? I’m sure the network will get right on that as soon as it gets up off its knees and straightens up its clothing.

Obama Compares United States Unfavorably to China and Russia
merrie
by merrie  8-25-2008    7
 RUSH: This is breathtakingly politically stupid. I don't care how hateful you are of America, there are just certain things that you're not going to be able to pass off to people. China, a better place to live than the United States of America? Well, maybe if you don't mind pollution controls that don't exist. Maybe if you don't care that people are employed at slave-labor wages -- and maybe, if you don't care that construction standards in the countryside are so slipshod and shallow that they allow of collapse of thousands of buildings, including schools, so that when an earthquake hits it killing tens of thousands of people -- if that stuff just doesn't bother you, then I guess maybe China does look pretty good to you. This next Obama sound bite's outrageous. OBAMA: We've got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies that they can't charge into other countries with impunity. Of course, it helps if we are leading by example on that front.
