Spokesman reassures reporters on human rights as well
BEIJING - After initially promising completely unfettered access to the internet for reporters during their stay for the Olympic Games, China now admits it "meant full access to the uncensored portions" of the internet.
"We will keep the promise we made, for full access to China's internet, which of course, is different than Western notions of 'full access,'" explained Chinese Olympics spokesman Qin Gang. He elaborated, "Our internet is freer than the West's, as it is free of lies - which is better, I'm sure you reporters will agree. And if not, we'll be happy to show you how our internet access is even extended to prisoners."

All Environmentally Sound Energy Projects Put on Hold Pending Environmental Review

Bush administration sites "ecological concerns"
DENVER - Faced with mounting numbers of proposed alternative energy plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on all such projects until it studies their environmental impact. While the projects themselves are seen by many as imperative in the face of predicted ecological collapse, the administration says it wants to be sure that "the cure is not worse than the disease."
"We've finally learned from environmentalists that impacts must be carefully assessed," explained Bureau of Land Management (BLM) project manager Linda Resseguie, "and we want to start out on the right foot with alternative energy. Besides, we've got all that oil just off the coasts we could use up while we study this thing."

Our latest movie review from Gary Chew
"Swing Vote" Reviewed by Gary Chew
I missed the only screening of "Swing Vote." Mostly because I felt it might be a real turkey. I was told by my 'magical movie intuition' while looking at the photographs and art out ahead of the film that, if not a turkey, it certainly wasn't because it would be difficult to make it one. Sometimes, you can see the gobblers coming a mile away. I did see "Swing Vote" two days after it opened and submit this tardy report.

"Addicted to War" comic book, click to visit site

An Anti-War Comic Book
ADDICTED to WAR: Why The U.S. Can't Kick Militarism by Joel Andreas takes on the most active, powerful and destructive military in the world. This ain't your father's war comic book! It tells the history of U.S. foreign wars – from the Indian Wars to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – in a comic book format. Over 200,000 copies have been distributed, and it has recently been approved by the San Francisco School District as a supplemental book to be used by high school history teachers, grades 10 through 12.
   The book makes great reading for anyone, full of facts about U.S. wars you didn't get in school, like this great quote from Major General Smedley Butler, who at the time of his death was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. After he retired in 1931, he said "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."
