• The Sound of One Wing Flapping

  George W. Bush gave his third State of the Union address for the umpteenth time on PBS, and it only gets more surreal with each screening -- like a dream where something is missing… but what?

• Women in Iraq today

  I first discovered Riverbend - less known than Salam, yet so important. Today she's publishing links to some new Iraqi blogs in English, and from there the sky is not the limit. From Riverbend I've learnt a while ago about the present goverment resolution to change the secular Family Law to the strict religious one. I'm wondering what is the response of the USA women - are you flooding the mail boxes and phones and faxes of your goverment, are you running any rally in support?

• Psychopathic Corporations and a Splinter in My Mind

  "Corporate capitalism is fundamentally at odds with life. It is not even against our lives and for its own long-term survival; the logic of profit maximization in a free-market economy dictates that longer-term planning is subordinated to the needs of the day, the next quarter, the next financial year; and rarely beyond."
