* a good article in the nypress about the nyt and wapo weaculpas "The story shouldn't have been, "Are there WMDs?" The story should have been, "Why are they pulling this stunt? And why now?" That was the real mystery. It still is."
http://www.nypress.com/17/33/news&columns/MATTTAIBBI.cfm

* xymphs take on nyt/wapo "We all knew. There were no weapons of mass destruction. It was always a lie, and a supremely obvious lie." http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2004/08/crooked-newspaper-apologies.html - of course it was a lie, and of course we all knew beforehand - nothing new there - the cadmin and the media created an elaborate lie. but the interesting thing is that kerry is still playing the charade - the faux-debate about whether kerry got sucked into the 'id still have voted the same' misses the point (as does his entire platfrom) - he is part of the same dance of lies and therefore part of the problem. its almost impossible to see him as part of any solution when he is on the same hymn sheet. the entire premise of his position is wrong. "Who else have you got?"

* ozforeignminister downer has caused another storm - telling china that it wouldnt necessarily side with the ams if china attacked taiwan. i cant work out what is going on - it seems (?) to be another murdoch beatup - with the cadmin automatically lined up to berate downer. i dont know what it means. odd though. http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/08/20/1092972743858.html

* i made (another) mistake the other day! i said that if we got thru the next 2 weeks w/out an announcement about the ozelection then we'd be in the clear. it turns out that my math was wrong - i think i forgot september! howard has till the last week of sep if he wants to call a pre nov02 election. my bad. spazzz

* "Full-scale war between the United States and Iran may be far closer than the American public might imagine." http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040819-065848-2651r.htm (washtimes is a bit weird - i can never work out what their position is)

* this is worth a read "The Coincidence Theorist's Guide to 9/11" http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2004/08/coincidence-theorists-guide-to-911.html

* cnn's bottom-of-the-screen good-news graphic still sez "the new iraq" - praps we can add 'worse than the old iraq'

* heres how to cause riots (in ven this time) "But results of the Penn, Schoen & Berland survey were sent out by fax and e-mail to media outlets and opposition offices more than four hours before polls closed. It predicted just the opposite of what happened, saying 59 percent had voted in favor of recalling Chavez... "They were told they had a lead of 20 points and then when the results came, they lost by 20 points," Gaviria said. "It's very difficult to deal with that." http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/082004W.shtml
