Beastie Boys: In a world gone mad

2 Comments / rants and raves / By

BeastieBoys.com is supporting the anti-war movement by changing their web site to let everyone know what they think about the war. “We felt it was important to comment on where the US appears to be heading now. A war in Iraq will not resolve our problems. It can only result in the deaths of many innocent civilians and US troops. If we are truly striving for safety, we need to build friendships, not try to bully the rest of the world.” – Adam Yauch “Being together, writing and recording, we […]

Worse, I’m doing a whole bunch of research for the book and am trying to munge through with other search engines. It just drives home how valuable a resource Google has become. I found the same this weekend. Never thougth to mention it, but trying to do research while Google was down was no fun. In

Food for thought: Arrest me

William Rivers Pitt: Arrest me George W. Bush is out of control. I’ll say it again. George W. Bush is out of control. I’m waiting for the black government cars to come squealing up in front of my house, for the thump of leather on my stairs, for the sound of knuckles on my door, for the feel of steel braceleting my wrists, for the smell of urine in some dank Federal holding cell as I listen to questions from men who no longer feel the constricting boundaries of constitutional
