And in the ‘tell us something we didn’t already know’ department, we found this tidbit, again from AP, on 23 January. Here are some quotes.

“The study concluded that the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.”

and…” Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq’s links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell’s 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.”

Here’s a link to the full story.

Study: False Statements Preceded War

George, shame, shame, shame.

Here’s an AP article that might be of some interest.

Waterboarding : a new American sport

I do find it amazing that politics and justice in America have sunk to this low level under the weight of GWB and his cohorts the last eight years. It’s a strange America. It’s an America I never thought I’d see. One can only hope things change for the better once Bush has left office.

Michael Mukasey, shame, shame, shame.

This was our header art for 2007.

Revolution in Mind and Deed doesn’t mean violence. It’s pointing toward a psychological change. Something radical that will change the way we live.

Rififi Nation is explained a bit on our About page.

The new header art was designed by Morris Taub. He’s also responsible for the bug photography. The black gritty grungy stuff at the top is Grunge Grit 2 by Asunder, a very cool photoshop brush/border that you can find here :

Wishing you all joy and health for this new calendar year 2008. Peace.

Thankfully, this will be the last year ‘we’ have to suffer George W. Bush. One can only hope that the Modern American Dark Age is coming to a close.
