2007-11-05 21:07 The Iraq war has become a disaster that we have chosen to forget
By Madeleine Bunting (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): "You think you are innocent, but you're not," said the British Muslim suicide bomber in the Channel 4 television drama Britz last week. As the compelling actor Manjinder Virk recited her suicide statement to camera, she went on: thousands of women and children are dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet the governments responsible have been returned to power.Her assertion sticks in the mind because it goes straight to the heart of how we ch …

2007-11-01 11:43 And Look, There's a Young Marge Schott in the Front Row
A couple of Sunday nights ago at about 10 p.m., someone posted a comment that read, "Women's Nazi Hockey Team." It linked to the photo shown at right (here's a larger view ). Since Sunday night is a low-traffic period for the site, nobody responded and the whole thing passed unnoticed. Coupla things here: First of all, this is not a Nazi team. In fact, this is an Edmonton team called the Swastikas, which played in 1916 - four years before the National Socialist German Workers Party (i.e., the Na …

2007-10-24 17:09 At last, consensus in the Middle East: all agree these talks are bound to fail
By Jonathan Freedland (THE GUARDIAN, 24/10/07): It takes a special kind of genius to unite the warring parties of the Israel-Palestine conflict, but George Bush may just have pulled it off. His proposal for what the US administration calls a "meeting", rather than a peace conference, in Annapolis, Maryland, before the end of the year has elicited a unanimity unheard of in the Middle East. From the hardmen of Hamas to the hawks of Likud, there is a rare consensus: Annapolis is doomed to failure. …

2007-10-15 15:22 Ten places more ready for sovereignty than Palestine...
Speaking as the great-great-grandson of one who actively opposed the annexation of Hawaii and the great-grandson of one who actively opposed American imperialism and the occupation of the Philippines a century ago (under Wm. McKinley's policy of "benevolent assimilation"), I believe my anti-colonialist pedigree is pretty good for someone who can say "neo-conservative" without cursing. Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice I am sure believes she is seizing the moral high ground by calling for a Palestin …

The 3rd Quarter reports for Congressional and Senate Candidates have begun to roll in, first with 3rd District Candidates Dennis Moore and Nick Jordan. Moore, after a lackluster start to fundraising this year, has improved his numbers a bit, but not too much. During the previous quarter, Moore raised $187,810,leaving him with$621,322.83 on hand. During his shortened period, Jordan brought in $107,596.14, finishing the quarter with just under $100,000 in the bank. Though, Moore did outraise Jor …

Just a quick reminder - Please continue to pray for rain for the Southeastern US. The deficit totals are being announced. Parts of AL and GA are under 16 + inches. Parts of NC are 14 + inches under normal for the year thus far. The media has at last decided to stop talking about Hollywood's latest and give some mention to the extreme to exceptional drought. I understand Lake Lanier, serving Atlanta, has 90 days of water left. Lake Jordan, serving Durham has something like 70 days left. The video …

2007-10-13 13:54 Butternut Squash Risotto and musings from a Book Whore
There was a 'M*A*S*H' episode in which all of the characters were asked what books they had brought with them. Amidst all of the traditional answers of 'the Bible', 'War and Peace', etc., I loved Hawkeye's answer best: "The dictionary; all the other books are in there." And so they are. Betty, of And So Forth (among other blogs) has tagged me for a reading/book meme. Hmmm, me and books! I persist, much against the advice of everyone, in hauling my books with me. They've moved from the U.S. …

2007-10-12 20:04 June Jordan recruitment letter
I just got a recruitment mailer from June Jordan School for Equity (an SFUSD high school), addressed "to the parent or guardian of" my 8th-grader. Did June Jordan send this mailer out to every 8th-grader in the city And if so, I wonder how they paid for it and how much it cost. (Actually there's no stamp of any kind on mine. I'm assuming it fell off.) It seems to me that this kind of puts JJ in contention with its fellow SFUSD high schools, since in a district with dropping enrollment and probab …

2007-10-11 22:24 Inflating the resume
It's troubling to address this, but I've noted two otherwise worthy organizations doing the same thing: listing projects on their websites as done deals when they're actually still in the proposal stages. The Coalition for Essential Schools is working to start up a new SFUSD high school, the Bayview Essential School of Music, Art and Social Justice. It certainly isn't in existence yet; they hope to get it going in fall '08. That's still not a done deal. In at least one spot on the CES website, T …

2007-10-11 10:33 Sunday: Final Challenge
Slept in a bit to 9:30 a.m. before heading out for the final challenges. We had more morning interviews at the shore followed by a morning swim with sharks. I was so nervous. They got the sharks into feeding mode by chumming the water and got some footage of them coming up on the dive platform and swimming all around the boat. I'm not talking about one or two sharks either; there must have been 50 or so from about 4-8+ feet long. I figure the one that attacked me was about 6-10 feet. Then they d …

I realize that in my recent (but still very sporadic) posts, I have fallen out of the habit of posting "shout outs" to my various readers. So I'm going to try and revive that on occasion. Starting with a big Chicago hello to scenic Detroit, Michigan. Specifically, the University of Detroit Mercy. Even more specifically, a person who is attempting to waste time in law school classes by checking in here frequently. Also, I would be doing a great injustice if I did not make mention of my first read …
