"There is no sign yet of the thousand-day war ending. Every month up to a thousand fresh corpses arrive at the mortuary in Baghdad. A new Iraq is emerging but it is already drenched in blood."

The WTO talks in Hong Kong are, as usual, met with protests and people who know what it's like to feel the heavy boot of indifference and exploitation...On Thursday Korean farmers and labour unionists performed a bow (sujood) every three steps on their protest march...On Friday the US Consulate in Hong Kong was pelted with eggs...And Hong Kong protesters declared a hunger strike...This is the BBC's take on the key issues at the talks....Here is a slideshow of the protests...here are short videos you can watch..

Ah! Every morning the war gets up from sleep.
So I place it in a poem, make the poem into a boat, which I throw into the Tigris.
This is war, then.

We saw a clip on the Daily Show of a Bush news conference. Someone asked him how many Iraqi civilians were killed, and he said (flipantly): "Oh. . . I'd say about 30,000, give or take." Seriously, does he have no concept of propriety? Or does he have no concept of numbers?
Coke has a monopoly at my university, which is really annoying. I wish my school would ban coke. But I think in TX saving money is more important than saving lives.
I read your critique of King Kong. I have to agree on every point. At the movie theater I went to, after about an hour people started talking. I don't mean they were being annoying, like how teenagers can be, or businessmen who have to talk on their phone. I mean, during the parts were there was no dialog, people would start to chit chat, like "so what are you doing this weekend?" etc.
r u kwti for real? i keep coming back to check and see if ur real.
Hi Shemsi,
You know that clip you mention competes with the one where he was making jokes about not finding WMD's...you can watch a thing about it here: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/26/1551240
It's amazing that he thinks he can say things like that...like people dying is just an opportunity for another joke.
poor Kong :(
