also today :::
might be old news to you, but have a look at dearraed.blogspot.com,
a weblog by iraqi citizen, salam pax,
currently based in baghdad. there have been some
dissenting voices as to his authenticity, but
other
bloggers have come out in support. see also
nowarblog.org.
the guardian also notes this week: "For the
first time, war has outstripped sex as the most
frequent web search term according to internet
service Freeserve."
but for something truly disturbing, have
a look at this edition of the satirical online
newspaper the
onion, dated 18 january 2001. their fake report
that week commented /
Bush has promised to bring an end to
the severe war drought that plagued the nation
under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S.
will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed
conflict in the next four years.
"You better believe we're going to mix it
up with somebody at some point during my administration,"
said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military
spending. "Unlike my predecessor, I am fully
committed to putting soldiers in battle situations.
Otherwise, what is the point of even having a
military?"
(it concludes:) "We must find an enemy and
defeat it."

the 2003 big brother awards
are almost upon us. nothing to do with the lifesucking
tv show, these awards are given to "government
agencies, companies and initiatives which have
done most to invade personal privacy". this
year google-watch has nominated
the search engine for 'big brother of the year'
for many reasons, including its 'spyware' toolbar
technology and the unsavoury links it has with
the bush administration. google has yet to reassure
its users that their personal search logs will
remain exactly that. just don't go typing 'i luv
osama' into google any time soon.

tis a sad day for us all, black armbands
optional. UPN have announced the official cancellation

fact that sarah michelle gellar has chosen not
to renew her contract. she has guided us through
