the world turned upside down

Watch the linked BBC video, and let me know what you think.

Then refresh your memory about Emmanuel Goldstein, the public face of Evil in '1984'.

It seems altogether possible that 'Al Queda', that started out as a necesary component of BushCo's 'perception management', has become a self-fulfilling reality.

This is not to say that there are no Bad Guys, and overlooks the entire issue of Why They Hate Us.

Dubya: the 'gift' that keeps on giving.

BTW, have you tried clicking any of the links on that spam comment? I haven't ...was just curious :)

Have not clicked any, but just did a few mouse-overs. There appears to be a theme there, and I don't think it's political.
