Sarah Palin - The shadow

@ philipcarrgomm.wordpress.com

"She stands for:
–Small town values — a denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.

–Ignorance of world affairs — a repudiation of the need to repair America’s image abroad.

–Family values — a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don’t need to be heeded.

–Rigid stands on guns and abortion — a scornful repudiation that these issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.

–Patriotism — the usual fallback in a failed war.

–”Reform” — an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn’t fit your ideology."

and there's a nice video of Matt Damon slagging her off too.

War on Terror, the board game

waronterrortheboardgame.com

"It's got suicide bombers, political kidnaps and intercontinental war. It's got filthy propaganda, rampant paranoia and secret treaties and the Axis of Evil is a spinner in the middle of the board.
Buy the War on Terror now! War on Terror, the boardgame in all it's finery.

You can fight terrorism, you can fund terrorism, you can even be the terrorists. The only thing that matters is global domination - err, liberation."

Jogging in the twilight zone
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/FE27Ak04.html

Haider Hamoudi's account of a jog, around the (American controlled) Green Zone of Baghdad, is a well written article that gives an idea of what life is like in Baghdad (I imagine).

Haider Hamoudi is an Iraqi-American lawyer now working on a US government-funded legal-education project in Iraq.

Politics

Two sites I have come across that attempt to determine your political beliefs by asking questions and analysing your answers.

President match compares your answers to those of the American presidential candidates.

Political compass attempts to find how left and right you are as well as how liberal/authoritarian you are.
