a presentable young man with an engaging smile...
that's how the u.s. and british governments viewed saddam hussein when he came to power. oh, and the US knew all along that he was using chemical weapons against the iranians. they seemed OK with it then.

what's on your beer's label?....
you may not have noticed this, but beer labels contain almost no information about the product contents. it's long been a special exemption granted by the u.s. goverment that allows brewers not to list alcohol content and nutritional info. on the labels. that may be changing now. i hope they do change this. consumers deserve to know what they're drinking. despite claims by the "Big 3" brewers (Anheuser-Busch, Miller and Coors), their products have a fair amount of "adjuncts" in them, especially corn and rice. not exactly the finest ingredients for brewing a quality product.

it's not about oliver stone...
i'm now fully convinced that lee harvey oswald never acted alone. i'm sorry, but anyone who spends five minutes reading about the assassination will learn that there was at least SOME kind of conspiracy. i'm partial to the theory that oswald and ruby were both essentially dupes for kennedy's mafia enemies who wanted a different cuba policy - one that would resume gambling on the island.
another theory, of course, is much more government-centered. those theories tend to rely more on the CIA and other government insiders like LBJ who wanted kennedy gone. read up. you'll be glad.

"In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. And in this school system, the lobotomized child is the valedictorian"...
i found this to be hilarious. it's obviously written by a very frustrated high school history teacher.
