Obama’s obsequious bowing to Bush hawks
Some detailed and angry reporting on Obama & US imperialism. Such an escalation of war. It really is time for a change, and it all looks scary
Scoop: Obama’s latest sideshow – ‘new security measures’ by Julie Webb-Pullman is a New Zealand based freelance writer who has reported about – and on occasion from – Central America for Scoop since 2003.

No Haiti Shock Doctrine!
I listened to the audio book of Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine last year & . With Haiti disaster I thought, right they’ll be in boots and all – no need to use the military, let nature do the killing for you. And sure enough, it seems the US is doing its best take over (even more) while the going is good. Some links follow.

iWishlist
I am looking forward to the Apple Tablet. The main thing I’d want to be able to do is to use it instead of my Toshiba M200 for sketching. I did a Thousand Sketches 2006-7 on the Toshiba M200 which has a Wacom style pen only touch screen. Worked well for me. It is pressure sensitive, and highly responsive. So I hope the Tablet will have something like a pen or better.
A long iWishlist follows.
Chagall
New painting by Chagall. Just listened to the BBC program interview. Love these insights & stories.
Book: The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes by Richard Panek
Book: The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes by Richard Panek
I leafed through this book today. I like the theme, but I think the analogy of a story with two protagonists is taken a bit far. Still, looks like it could be fun. Might get it yet!
