PEOPLE
MYRNA LOY
http://imdb.com/name/nm0001485/
Nora Charles went on to become a friend of
Eleanor Roosevelt, a friend of the United Nations, and therefore a friend of
humanity.

EDWARD KENNEDY
Senator Kennedy has
become the first US Senator to call publicly for withdrawal from Iraq. By doing so, he is honoring the memories of
his two slain brothers and showing the world that not all Americans are bent
upon world domination and destruction.
He is a giant among men, and we all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude
for his constant struggles on our behalf.
Honor and politics have seldom met so well.
The beginning of
wisdom in this crisis is to define honest and realistic goals.

BILL
MOYERS
With the departure of
Bill Moyers from PBS, the news show he started, NOW (http://www.pbs.org/now/), has been cut to
thirty minutes, followed by Tucker Carlsons new show. Truffulaut hopes that the woman in Tuckers
life is plagued with runners in her hose (http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/dickens-little-jimmy/may-the-bird-of-paradise-fly-up-your-nose-10376.html).
There Is No Tomorrow
By Bill Moyers
The Star Tribune
Sunday 30 January 2005
millions of Christian fundamentalists may believe
that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually
welcomed -- even hastened -- as a sign of the coming apocalypse.

WAR AND PEACE
The Nuremburg Principles
courtesy of Information Clearing House (http://207.44.245.159/index.html):
The fact that a person
who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law acted as
Head of State or responsible government official does not relieve him from
responsibility under international law.

MEDIA
GRIST -- Bill Moyers favorite online
environmental journal
Grist tackles environmental topics with
irreverence, intelligence, and a fresh perspective. Our goal is to inform, entertain, provoke, and encourage creative
thinking about environmental problems and solutions. We publish new content each weekday -- in-depth reporting,
cartoons, summaries of breaking news stories, Q & A with activists, book
reviews, an environmental advice column, and lots more.

WHAT DO WMDs AND SOCIAL SECURITY HAVE IN COMMON?

HOW RIGHT IS THE RIGHT?
Remember Zell Miller? He is not alone in being a Dominionist.
Dominion Theology arose in the 1970s in religious
movements reasserting aspects of Christian nationalism.
I wonder what in particular is they are
reasserting? Perhaps the USA ought to
send Conquistadors to its designated targets to save the natives from
themselves.

YURIKA REPORT DOMINIONISTS
1)
Falsehoods are not only acceptable, they
are a necessity. The corollary is: The
masses will accept any lie if it is spoken with vigor, energy, and dedication.
2)
It is necessary to be cast under the cloak
of goodness whereas all opponents and their ideas must be cast as evil.
3)
Complete destruction of every opponent
must be accomplished through unrelenting personal attacks.
4)
The creation of the appearance
of overwhelming power and brutality is necessary in order to destroy the will
of opponents to launch opposition of any kind.

BUSINESS AS USUAL
GIVING UNTIL IT HURTS
The top 100 companies
on the London stock exchange gave 0.97% of their pre-tax profits to charities
and community projects
I am certain that
American corporations are much more charitable, arent you? Truffulaut is unredeemably curious. If you know the answer, let me know; in the
meantime, Ill be searching.
