If you have not suscribed to Mark Morfords "Morning Fix" yet through "Notes and Errata" (The only way I know of to get it) what are you waiting for? It may save your sanity. It's free and and all side-effects are pleasant.
Giant Floating Purple Pills
Are those creepy prescription-drug commercials on TV trying to kill you?
By Mark Morford
Cut to picture of healthy-looking yuppie guy emerging from swimming pool and smiling.
Cut to picture of mother twirling her child in the park in slo-mo. Cut to picture of woman taking deep whiffs of fresh-cut lilies at the florist and grinning warmly as if the world was one big gob of perky happy fluffy bunny joy. Yay. Drugs. Yay.
Celebrex can make you feel like you again. Celebrex is a revolutionary new breakthrough in medicine technology. Celebrex is not for everyone. Ask your doctor if Celebrex is right for you.
Side effects may include nausea diarrhea anxiety sleeplessness headaches projectile vomiting genital warts narcolepsy halitosis death bed wetting pained nightmares involving angry bloodsucking poodles and the mad uncontrollable desire to smash your head into a brick wall over and over again until you stop screaming.
Do not use Celebrex if you are recently deceased. Do not use Celebrex if you are already experiencing heart palpitations or night sweats or screaming terrified wolf howls or if you take any other medication that begins with the letter C.
Pregnant or nursing mothers should not use Celebrex, unless you want your child to become a mutant deformed pygmy three-armed libertarian with 17 toes and the IQ of a small canned ham.
If you are absolutely certain nothing is wrong with you and you feel fine and hence you do not need Celebrex, this is actually the first troubling sign that Celebrex is exactly what you need. Contact your doctor immediately, if not sooner.
If you are right now watching this TV commercial for Celebrex and have no idea what the hell Celebrex is because we don't ever actually tell you what the hell it is, and, hence, if you feel the pharmaceutical industry is this freakish mega-powerful mind-control cult fully bent on convincing as much of the human population as possible that wildly expensive prescription meds are the answer to all your problems, this, too, means you should take our medication, pronto.

...if it walks like a Nazi, and quacks like a Nazi....?
Lessee..
Elections are fixed. Supreme Court bought and paid for.
The Patriot Act infringes on our rights to live freely and subverts the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Under it anyone the administration doesnt like can be wiretapped and have their homes searched without warrants.
People of MiddleEastern descent have to submit to "special registration" (Are armbands next?)
And can be jailed without charges and/or deported to countries to have their "confessions" tortured out of them without any rights to phone calls or legal representation and have their assets frozen. (stolen?)
Our military can be used on a whim to unilaterally invade foreign countries based on blatant lies to line the pockets of the adminisrations buddies and campaign supporters in defiance of the UN and international law.
To speak out gets you labelled "unpatriotic" and a "terrorist sympathizer" or (gets your wife outed as a CIA agent).
Investigations of 9/11 that may implicate their business associates and Impeachment hearings or investigations of any of the above get swept under the rug by the Republican controlled congress. (I've been watching CSpan- for a Democrat to attempt to be heard, much less get anything done is impossible and heartbreaking to watch.)
Department of (Father)land Security is a bad joke.
The mainstream media and television networks are totally contolled by multi-billion dollar corporations. (The same ones that control the government.) You see and hear only what they want you to see and hear.
But I lost my train of thought... What's most shocking to me is that they can do all of this and still be so incredibly stupid.
According to this Reuters article, the latest "Operation Iron Hammer" in Iraq is a name that's been used by the military before... Hitlers military.... in German called "Eisenhammer" during WWII.
It would be funny and ironic if it wasnt so sick and sad.

It was a fantastic surprise that Danny Schechter posted an email I sent him with a link to Pernicious Bloggage at his fine News Dissector blog. Its a great blog check it out. He gets a permanent link.
He's a former ABC and CNN news producer among other things and has written a book about the media in the Iraq war I'm going to check out called "Embedded: Weapons of Mass Deception". Some of the proceeds of which go to support MediaChannel.org

Little Help for BMo before he gets butt kicked by a bunch of girls.
BMo opines that he has no books by women authors and wonders where all the great female writers are. Now, I know BMo, so I'll assume he's probably just baiting the girls. Don't hurt him ladies.
Ok, I'll bite.
You can start here Brian-
500 Great Books by Women: A Readers Guide
Just scanning the authors index under 'A' for authors I've actually read, I find these notorious hackettes:
Alcott, Louisa May
Allende, Isabel
Anjelou, Maya
Atwood, Margaret
Austen, Jane
Like I said, that's just authors I've read, and just under 'A'.
They might not be to your taste Brian, but there are 495 others just in this one guide.
And by the way.... You DO own at least one book by a woman. I believe I personally sent you "Frida" by Hayden Herrera, who, unless I'm mistaken, is a woman.
Now start reading before the ghosts of Virginia Woolf and Emily Dickinson show up to bitch slap you for saying such silly things.
Love,
Chlora

So many worthwhile blogs- So little time
All these wonderful blogs! Just a sample. Makes me not want to bother writing anything myself when these are out there. Again, I'll just say "Yeah! What THEY said!"
Whiskey Bar
thoughts on the eve of the apocolypse
The bitter shack of resentment
OrwellianTimes.com
I'm especially excited about finding News Dissector Weblog by Danny Schechter. I remember Danny as the news director back when Bostons WBCN was radical and worthwhile and dinosaurs roamed the earth. Found at MediaChannel.org which seems to be a media organization that's not controlled by huge corporations.
