Harsh

Is the summer heat making the news harsher?

Film legends Bergman and Antonioni die. Sorry to see them go. They created a tremendous body of work which is so admired by the students of film and film making.

Rupert Murdoch apparently now owns almost everything in the world. If you want a real taste of Rupert Murdoch try stomaching a read of the neo-conservative rag 'The Weekly Standard,' one of Murdoch's most prominent pieces of propaganda. Its the home of editor William Kristol, PNAC designer and one of the main reasons why we are in the massive mess in Iraq.

Alberto Gonzoles might get impeached. Apparently Bush has too much personal garbage on House Democrats, ah the benefits of warrantless wire tapping, and so rather than impeach Bush, who has lowered the bar to the level of impeachment more so than any other, they go after the worst Attorney General in US history.

Pat Tillman was probably murdered. Its called fragging. That would be the military term for killing a soldier usually one in your own unit, usually this is done in collaboration with others.

20,000 more US troops are going into Iraq. After all this time the war is being escalated even further. All that we now know about the phoney reasons for entering and invading, all of the failures, deaths, squandering of resources, mass disapproval, and on and on and on. Yet the President chooses to accelerate his blindfolded, wrong way down the one way street which leads to the cliff edge, yahoo method of inventing "victory." Hey what does he have to lose, only your kids and your resources.
