Baltimore Bookthing needs help

Baltimore Bookthing needs help 03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Cory Doctorow: Baltimore's remarkable charity Bookthing is on the verge of rescuing itself from a years-long problem with its landlords, but it needs your help.

There's a little place in Baltimore called the Bookthing. They take your old books and give them away to other people. It's not any more complicated than that. I go in and drop off my old English Literature from 1800-1950 textbook, they hang on to it until someone else comes in a takes it home. It's all free...

To bring everyone up to speed: the building that houses our current location was sold in September 2004. The new owner is looking to renovate our space into an office or apartment. Our rent was $235 and he has now raised it to $525. The growth of The Book Thing has been strangled by our current location; no handicap accessibility, no heat, no bathroom, and lack of room limit the time that people can stay to volunteer or shop, and that limits the amount of books we can display and give away.

With the purchase of this building, 3001 Vineyard Lane in Waverly, we will have a permanent location in Baltimore so our existence is no longer at the whim of landlords. Our monthly mortgage payments will be less than we would have to pay in rent for a similar space. This new building will also have luxury items such as bathrooms and heat.

We have secured a mortgage for $210,00 from a private individual, amortized over 30 years but due in three years. Now all we need is the remaining $50,000 of the purchase price and $10,000 for closing costs. I have contacted some foundations and corporations. They have expressed interest, but that will take time. So we are coming to you, our supporters, for help.

Li nk (Thanks, Mark!)

Gawker Sells Out, Baltimore Style: A
Dirty Shame 09/13/2004 09:00 AM

Oh hey, sister site Defamer (the one with lots of pictures of girls' boobs, but with clothes on) has launched one of those special advertising section blog things, except this time it's cool (to me), because it's promoting John Waters' new movie "A Dirty Shame." What does that have to do with gadgets? You know, probably nothing, but if you can't shill your buddies' work on your weblog where can you do it?

Besides, do you really want me to make a connection between John Waters and gadgets? I can't even begin to think of the hate mail I'd get for that. Also, why didn't we get a launch party with the cast? This selling out shit is a rip off.

That little coup in Russia

That little coup in Russia 09/15/2004 07:46 PM
Back in 2001, you'll recall -- months before 9/11 -- President Bush "looked into the eyes" of Russian president Vladimir Putin and told us that this was a man he could trust. Bush and Putin, the word was, had bonded -- as Bush always seems to -- through their mutual belief in a "Higher Power."

Well, now we know all about the kind of higher power Putin aspires to. In a story that should, perhaps, receive at least three percent of the attention the U.S. media have devoted to the grievances of Swift Boat Veterans and the peculiarities of IBM office machines circa 1972, The Russian leader has scuttled the flimsy remnants of democracy in his country, concentrating power in his hands and returning Russia to the kind of one-party rule it had for decades under the Communists -- this time with no lip service paid to Marxist theory. (In fact, a day after consolidating his power, Putin announced the formation of a humongous new Russian energy consortium open to Western investment. How convenient that he previously used the powers of his state to jail the head of Yukos, a competitor to the new energy firm, who'd begun to be active in the political opposition.) The rhetorical dressing today may be different from that in the days of Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev, but the brutal dynamics are familiar: Russia's brief trajectory from glasnost to perestroika to democracy has now boomeranged straight back to dictatorship.

The Bush administration, for its part, is shockingly mum in the face of this globally significant event (Colin Powell has "concerns"), but that shouldn't be a surprise. Putin may be an anti-democratic thug, but dammit, he's our thug -- a staunch ally in the War on Terror. And while Putin's putsch is a lot more aggressive than the PATRIOT Act, Russia's leader is cribbing from the same playbook Bush and Cheney used in the wake of 9/11: A terrorist disaster provides awfully good cover to roll out long-stewing policies (an invasion of Iraq for Bush, a suppression of democracy for Putin) that would be unpalatable except in a climate of fear and anger.

In this context, it hardly seems to matter that the awful terrorist acts confronting Putin's Russia stem mostly from Chechen separatists and ethnic conflicts between Ingush and Ossetians (let's hear Bush pronounce those names during the upcoming debates). So what if Russia's "war on terror" is an entirely different conflict from the United States' "war on terror"? Let's roll these conflicts up, unite our enemies and delude ourselves that Russia's decade-long war with Chechen guerrillas is morally aligned with the U.S.'s struggle against the perpetrators of 9/11. Since democracies like France, Germany and Spain can't be lined up to support Bush's ill-considered policies, then, hey, we'll have to take a strongman.

As a dictator sitting on a vast reserve of oil and decaying stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, Vladimir Putin is looking more and more like a certain other Bush administration nemesis now awaiting trial in Baghdad. This time, though, it's okay: remember, we can trust Putin -- about as much as we can trust Bush.

POSTSCRIPT: President Bush has now weighed in. He is "worried," says the AP, that Putin's moves "could undermine democracy." This is like saying Bush's tax cuts "could undermine the budget surplus." The rhetorical device of transforming a fait accompli into a vague possibility may be expedient, but it's a pretty transparent dodge, and it effectively gives Putin a green light.

The American Military Coup of 2012

The American Military Coup of 2012 12/06/2003 04:28 PM
< i>The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012 was written in 1992 for the US Army War College's military journal Parame ters, and describes how the US has fallen victim to a military coup. The article was intended as "a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction." But following a recent article by military affairs analyst William Arkin on how American armed forces are assuming major new domestic policing and surveillance roles, some worry that mission creep is making Dunlap's scenario more feasible.
