Morning Round-up
Andy, Did you read the article that the Fox News story links to? It's an overall analysis of how women are treated in the British military, and quite good. Language isn't nonsense. The overall point is that women aren't taken seriously in the army, and it's probably a valid criticism. And for the record, there's no good reason at all that women shouldn't be able to fight in combat. For evidence, I present the Great Soviet Patriotic War (aka World War II to you Capitalist Pigs) where women fought and died right along men, and did so rather well. Want me to go through and point out how all of the other news blurbs in that little piece suffer from a huge conservative bias?
As for non-nut Republicans, I'd nominate Sen. John McCain or Sen. Lincoln Chafee. There are more, but those were the two that just popped into my head.
And, any of you interested in local Anti-war activities in St. Louis really ought to talk to me, I've got the scoop. I'm on three different activist mailing lists, actually. But for some quick scoop, check it, yo.
Morning links:
Arriana Huffington in Salon.com (And I was just pushing her book on Sunday. I'm cool.)
Krugman (and you always read him, don't you?)
This Modern World: Outrage Overload. Did you know that the bearded liberal on This Modern World is based upon Eric Alterman whose book What Liberal Media? I'm almost through reading? Neat, innit? Also, Doonesbury's very touching today.
Greenspan lets us know that War is bad for the economy. Thanks, Al. Now can someone stand up and inform us that war causes mutilated corpses?
And, it won't win, but The Two Towers was nominated for Best Picture. Andy Serkis was not nominated, that's kinda sad.
And one more thing... IN SOVIET RUSSIA, GOOGLE SEARCHES YOU!
