2007-10-22 22:45  COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

2007-10-07 22:58  The BBC s vile infatuation with Che Guevara
"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary... These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. Che Guevara In the short time this blog has been going I ve singled out so many instances of left-wing bias by the BBC that sometimes I find myself wondering if I m over-sensitive, and perhaps looking for evidence of bias where it doesn t necessarily exist.

2007-08-20 09:50  Authoritarianism and the Habits of Philosophers
One of the bad habits of philosophers is to try to provide argumentation from reason alone for points that need observable evidence. I call this move the "philosophers' fallacy" and even I fall prey to it. But as a wise man once said, "Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes." (O.k., maybe not wise, but he wrote some darn good tunes.) Such was the case with my post Conservatives Look at "Who" and Liberals Look at "What" that dates back about a year and a half or so.

Free-market mystic Milton Friedman, guru of Thatcherism and Reaganism and all of its assorted ills, celebrated his final birthday -- his 94th -- one year ago today. Although Friedman was often cited as a "Nobel Prize winner," there is in fact no such thing for economists. Friedman was actually the recipient of a quite distinct honor, the Bank of Sweden Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel -- an award that is something of an employee-of-the-month trophy for monetarists. Although Friedman claimed some …

We can all breathe just a little bit easier now: Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has admitted it is now "highly unlikely" it will proceed with its $5bn (£2.5bn) offer for the Dow Jones media group. It said this was because of the reported present level of opposition from the Bancroft family, which owns 64% of Dow Jones' voting shares. With the Bancrofts expected to make a statement later on Tuesday, reports say less than a third are backing the deal. The board of directors, which presumably ha …

2007-07-27 16:23  The limits of American power I: confrontation vs. detente
I recently wrote about how Rudy Giuliani seems to be embracing neoconservative foreign policy in the run up to his election campaign ( Heir to the neocon throne, July 16). He insists on the maintenance of American dominance in the Middle East, as well as an aggressive continuation of the War on Terror, possibly involving Iran. To most people, that in itself is a sign not to support him, but for the minority who believe confronting Iran will stabilize the region and counter Islamic fundamentalism …

2007-07-22 12:28  The Victim Card
I'm not sure why this Chilean soccer story irks me so, but I find the rhetoric and reactions completely outrageous. A dirty game, which saw 30 Chilean fouls and two players expelled. Said players attempt to attack a referee after the game, then proceed to get into it with spectators, then start hurling invective at security, which ends up in a brawl. Somehow this sequence of events is all Canada's fault, which conveniently omits the entire leadup to the "incident". Pretty rare that I agree with …
