Media Disinformation: Distorts News from the Georgia Region (870 diggs) As usual, the BBC is twisting and distorting the news coming out of the Georgia region. We keep being told that around 1500 have been killed in Georgia, the inference being that this has resulted from Russian bombing. Not so, the casualties are in Ossetia. All we are getting is one-sided reports of the destruction being caused by the Russians.

George Orwell: Politics And The English Language (875 diggs) Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation.. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers

15 Percent Of Americans Won't Vote For A Black President (1,438 diggs) "This is supposed to be the Democrats ’ year of destiny. Bush is hobbling out of office, the economy is in the toilet, voters are sick of the war and the party’s wunderkind candidate is raking in money hand over fist. So why is the presidential race a statistical dead heat?" Could it be racism?

Brave little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won't wash (1,684 diggs) For many people the sight of Russian tanks streaming across a border in August has uncanny echoes of Prague 1968. That cold war reflex is natural enough, but it is misleading. Not every development in the former Soviet Union is a replay of Soviet history. It is crudely simplistic to cast Russia as the sole villain in the clashes over South Ossetia.

My First ... [PIC] (4,310 diggs) Teach 'em while they're young I always say ...

Would Obama Prosecute the Bush Administration? (1,186 diggs) The answer better be hell yeah! But sadly it sounds like they would push it back to a 2nd term. This is worse than FISA.

WARNING: Bill O'Reilly wants to father your kid (900 diggs) O'Reilly thinks he can teach our children proper behavior, and we can't think of a worse father figure than an angry, hate-filled shock jock notorious for telling guests to "Shut up!" We wondered what would happen if kids read O'Reilly's book and then saw the real O'Reilly for themselves.
