Doesn’t ring a bell? Yeah, me neither.
Austrian novelist and playwright Elfriede Jelinek won the Nobel Prize for Literature Thursday, the Swedish Academy said.
Its citation for the $1.36 million prize said she had won “for her musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity of society’s [...]

This is a truly amazing feat of intellectual acrobatics. The report that confirms that Saddam had no weapons before the war and says he was actually further from developing them than before the first Persian Gulf War, according to Cheney is justification for the war!

Due to overwhelming demand, I have taken down the photo of me naked in India.

Every once in a while I have to log on to Friendster and MySpace to see what they’re up to.
Friendster seems to be dying and MySpace seems to be exploding.
Then there’s that group of people who have a new networking site every week.
Who pays for MySpaces bandwidth? ‘Cause they sure as hell don’t make that [...]

About a year and a half ago Abogado and I took a course called International Political Economy. It was probably the only course that quarter that I actually was looking forward to. I had been interested in globalization for a long time, but wanted to take a class that focused on it from a nuetral [...]
