U.S. AIRPORTS EXPAND FULL-BODY SCREENING
Igniting criticism by privacy advocates around the world, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is in the process of installing 450 full-body X-ray scanning machines in the country’s airports. The machines show images of hidden objects, as well as passengers’ bodies through their clothes.
“President Obama: Replace Rahm with Me”
“I understand you may be looking to replace Rahm Emanuel as your chief of staff. I would like to humbly offer myself, yours truly, as his replacement. I will come to D.C. and clean up the mess that’s been created around you. I will work for $1 a year. I will help the Dems on Capitol Hill find their spines and I will teach them how to nonviolently beat the Republicans to a pulp. And I will help you get done what the American people sent you there to do. I don’t need much, just a cot in the White House basement will do.”
I’ve had my doubts about Michael Moore’s overly sensational style, but his letter makes a good point. After their first year in power, the Obama administration has come off looking hypocritical and weak.
Trying to compromise ideologically with the opposition is a nice idea, but a waste of time. The growing anger felt by the millions of people marginalised by the recession is being siphoned by the “tea parties” into a radical and toxic movement, which, against all reason, is gaining ground, because its supporters rightly feel that the government has done nothing to help them.
The only way the Democrats can win back any of these angry people is to bring about real changes for the benefit of the people.
Whether it’s Michael Moore or anyone else, we need someone who can put political kudos and corporate interests in the back seat, and get down to fixing the country.

5 days agoIn a 30-page user manual, Arnell detailed how his new logo was based on “the magnetic contours of Earth,” and how it would create a “breathtaking trajectory of innovation.” Alongside mock diagrams he detailed how the “establishment of a gravitational pull” would allow Pepsi to “shift from a transactional experience to an invitational expression.” Same Pepsi taste, but a slightly different logo that was supposed to revolutionize how consumers relate to cola. But once his fee was in the bank, Arnell came out and openly mocked PepsiCo, boasting that it was “all bullshit.”
