This would take some research, but I think someone needs to set up a (regularly updated, alas) Memorial to the Victims of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, listing all the deaths that can be laid at the doors of the recipients on this list.
The memorial would commemorate the victims of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Henry Kissinger, Menachem Begin, Yasser Arafat, Mikhail Gorbachëv, Barack Obama, the U.N. “Peacekeeping” Forces, and no doubt others.
All you anarchists who criticise our heroic police officers – who are you going to call when you need your bedridden grandmother suffocated, tased, and lacerated?
I’ve heard most of Tom Lehrer’s songs multiple times, but until now I’d never seen footage of him performing them. Somehow his performance comes across as edgier – and less merely whimsical – when you can see it as well as hear it; his anger and contempt toward the cold-war political establishment are even more obvious.
Here’s that Jon Stewart video on Obama that I mentioned earlier.
Jon Stewart’s rant on Obama’s continuation of Bush’s policies just now was a welcome relief from Olbermann and Maddow, who couldn’s find anything to criticise Obama for tonight except his dreary speech on BP.
I just saw Olbermann calling for Rick Barber to be imprisoned for exercising his right to free speech. I wonder what percentage of anarchism that is?
