Here's an excellent
article on file sharing and why the music industry should adapt to it. It's on Salon, but no signup or any of that crap is called for.
Another week gone and I'm nothing but a year older. Yeah, happy birthday to me, as of last Saturday. On Sunday I woke up with shoulders bearing bite marks, bruised nipples and sore thigh muscles. Remind me never to go to another meeting of Republican Women of Nevada.
I doubt that this is an original thought on my part, but it seems obvious to me that Bush and Co. are trying to damage the UN with all this Iraqi foofaraw. Bush has never missed a chance to play to his base, and his base hates and fears the United Nations.
So I'm sure that among the other objectives (avenging Daddy's failure; controlling Iraqi oil; diverting attention from the economy, etc.), damaging the credibility of the UN or otherwise retarding the organization is close to the hearts of the Bush White House.
Is it working? I don't know. Despite what look like attempts to paint the UN into a diplomatic corner on a few occasions, the other members of the UN refuse to play along. For whatever reason, the other members seem to want the United Nations to succeed. Probably because they're all commies and socialists.
