A few random thoughts on Libya…

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Sabina Becker

…for whatever it’s worth: 1. I am most emphatically NOT in favor of Moammar Gaddafi. The man is a son of a bitch. And he’s been just about everyone’s son-of-a-bitch at some point, including the CIA’s. I will never be … Continue reading →

Quotable: Noam Chomsky on the struggle(s) for democracy

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Sabina Becker

I especially like what he says on Libya: It’s a civil war, and western intervention is not called for. It’s not up to “us”. Well said, and sure to be ignored by the powers that be. Remember, Libya has OIL.

Best bad book review EVER.

Posted on September 12, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Something (and that something being Thwap) tells me that a certain putz from out west is about to be fast-tracked to the remainder bin. His latest parvum opus is obviously financed by tar-sands profiteers, since it paints their dirty oil … Continue reading →

Why so afraid of a “Ground Zero mosque” that isn’t?

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Israeli cartoonist Shlomo Cohen neatly illustrates the phantom nature of the “victory mosque at Ground Zero”. It’s not a “victory” mosque, it’s not even an actual mosque, and it’s not actually at Ground Zero. I’m pretty sure, though, given his … Continue reading →

The Bush Crime Family’s tentacles in Cuba

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Thought you’d seen the last of Dubya when His Barackness kicked him oh-so-politely out of the White House, and hustled him and his minions onto that chopper to take him back to Crawford where he belonged? Think again. As long … Continue reading →

How far would Washington go to defend torture and death squads?

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Sometimes, it’s just instructive to take a good hard look at the past in order to really grasp what’s going on in the present. Take, for example, the fact that Washington has officially sanctioned torture and the use of death … Continue reading →

Music for a Sunday: More prescient than the Gorillaz knew

Posted on June 6, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Don’t let the dreamy hip-hop groove suck you under. Listen to Snoop Dogg’s rap: doesn’t it sound like he foresaw something? My best friend, who sent me the link to the YouTube, thinks so: The song I linked is on … Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Sabina Becker

It’s called bioremediation, and it’s the solution that BP refuses to use to clean up its mess. Even though it’s the greatest hope for a full environmental recovery that the Gulf of Mexico has….Remember that word, kiddies. And be sure … Continue reading →
