10/07/2004 04:14 PMPolitical News of the Week
Political News of the Week
03/22/2005 04:54 PM
 I'm too
discouraged by the US Senate decision to authorize drilling in the
ANWR to talk about it. The NRDC says there's still
hope and advises what to do about it. Here's the rest of the
week's important political news:
Bus
h Now Produces His Own Ready-to-Broadcast Propaganda -- just in
case Faux News and the other media outlets don't get his spin quite
right. Now your station doesn't need any reporters or any news budget
whatever. Just roll the prepackaged government productions. And if
you're smart, you can even get kickbacks from the government for doing
so -- it's all the rage these days.
Bush the Small Animal Torturer
-- an interesting editorial by David Podvin suggests the real George
Bush has a life-long record of cruel and psychopathic behaviour. A
little over the top, though there is evidence that torture of small
animals as a child is a hallmark of future criminal and psychopathic
behaviour, and there's also a long history of psychopaths striving for
and achieving leadership positions.
Salon Weighs In on the End of Oil
-- Robert Bryce provides a balanced accounting of what oil reserves
actually are. Most compelling: Increasing evidence that OPEC, whose
share of global remaining reserves will soar past 50% in the next few
years, is pushing its production capacity to the limit, and, as
Algeria's energy minister, Chakib Khelil, said, "OPEC does not have
the
production capacity to increase its quotas." Historically, these kind
of supply/demand tipping points precede huge price shifts. The US
Energy Board has raised its annual estimate of average wellhead prices
for 2005 oil from $29 (last year's estimate) to $50. Like all
commodities these days, expect prices to yo-yo, but inflation, here we
come.
Wolfy'
s Plan to Topple OPEC
-- In related oil news, Greg Palast reports for the BBC and Harper's
that new reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show
Wolfowitz, Chalabi, Bush & Co planned long before 9/11 to topple
Saddam, seize Iraqi oil and sell it off to private oil interests. The
more pragmatic corporate oil oligopoly balked at the last part of the
neocon plan, saying that destabilizing OPEC was in no one's best
interests, and preferring instead a state-owned oil company that the
US
would effectively control. On the losing end, Wolfy has now been
banished to the World Bank, a place better suited to his megalomaniac
tendencies.
US
Predicts Likely Terrorist Attack Areas
-- Another document that Bush was trying to keep under wraps, but was
inadvertently posted on the Hawaii State Government site, lists urban
nuclear devices, biotoxins in office complexes and bombs in sports
arenas as the greatest threats, and says there are too may possible
targets in each category to list. Blowing up chemical plants,
bioattacks in airports, and infecting food animals with diseases or
poisons are next on the list, which also includes three natural
disasters (earthquakes, influenza epidemics and hurricanes), but has
taken plane hijackings off the list because they're presumably no
longer possible thanks to those brave and brilliant Homeland Security
guys. Planning calls for about 1500 different, coordinated actions in
the case of any of these incidents, regardless of where in the US they
occurred. Bin Laden must be rolling on the ground laughing. Hey, does
duct tape work when it gets wet?
Former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Writes to Condi
-- A savage op-ed by Lloyd Axworthy (whose campaign I worked on many
centuries ago) explains to Condi Rice why Canada chose not to sign on
to the US Missile Defence system. You tell 'em Lloyd.
Help a
Fellow Blogger
-- Blogger Darren Barefoot is fasting for 30 hours as part of a
WorldVision project to raise money to defeat world hunger. I've
pledged
some money to help, and would encourage you to do so as
well.

Fox News review of Fahrenheit 9/11: "a
film that members of all political
parties should see without fail"
Fox News review of Fahrenheit 9/11: "a
film that members of all political
parties should see without fail"
06/16/2004 02:01 AMWill wonders never cease. Roger Friedman reviewed Michael Moore's
"Fahrenheit 9/11" tonight on Fox News: a really brilliant piece of
work, and a film that members of all political parties should see
without fail. As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a
screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" — as we saw last night —
is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty — and at the
same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice.... Before anyone's
even seen it, there have been partisan debates over which way Moore
may have spun this or that to get a desired effect. But, really, in
the end, not seeing "F9/11" would be like allowing your First
Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you're a
Republican or a Democrat... On the other hand, there are more than
enough moments that seemed to resonate with the huge Ziegfeld
audience. The most indelible is Bush's reaction to hearing on the
morning of Sept. 11, 2001, that the first plane had crashed into the
World Trade Center. Bush was reading to a grade-school class in
Florida at that moment. Instead of jumping up and leaving, he instead
sat in front of the class, with an unfortunate look of confusion, for
nearly 11 minutes. Moore obtained the footage from a teacher at the
school who videotaped the morning program. There Bush sits, with no
access to his advisers, while New York is being viciously attacked. I
guarantee you that no one who sees this film forgets this episode. How
times have changed. It seems like the establishment is finally wising
up to Bush's incompetence. At least I hope so. Or maybe Friedman's
body will be found floating in the river tomorrow. I hope not. Via
Strangelove....
PTV: A
FUTURE-STATE STORY
PTV: A
FUTURE-STATE STORY
05/13/2004 10:50 AM
It's
2015. Thirteen-year-old Kari Ross just got a PTV for her birthday, the
much-anticipated PC/TV convergence product. PTV comes with the
following hardware and software:
- a stereo headset with a built-in microphone
- a
flip-up 3D screen that
clips onto her glasses
- a wireless trackpad that clips onto
her belt
- a wireless webcam with a velcro wrist strap
- voice recognition software that 'learns' Kari's
pronunciation and vocabulary
- a folding wireless keyboard that
fits in her backpack
- wi-fi internet access
- VoIP worldwide
long-distance telephony
- subscriptions to her favourite
television programs
- a vast library of downloadable PPV movies
and free music
and books (including all her schoolbooks)
- a pocket-sized CPU/hard drive
- MC2, an integrated personal
content management, annotation,
social networking and publishing package
First thing in the morning, Kari's already videoconferencing with
friends while she gets ready for school, debating with them what she
should wear. She also has an IM window open and is dictating replies
to
several messages and e-mails in her inbox. Her first two school
time-blocks are independent study, so she downloads the study
materials
and completes the exercises and self-tests. Third time-block is a
group
project on solar energy, so she walks over to friend Sarah's house,
five minutes away, where the group has agreed to meet for the parts of
the project that can't be done by video. Their project advisor checks
in by video and counsels them where to look for some of the data
they'll need. Kari stays at Sarah's for lunch, and they chat and swap
files, with each other and with friends they each have online.
After lunch Kari starts working on her co-op project -- she's learning
to custom-make clothes, using a cutting and sewing machine that is
operated by her computer, one of a variety of programmable machines
that her community centre, and even the local Starbucks, make
available
to their members and customers. This particular machine adjusts the
pattern to the appropriate size, cuts and sews the material, and adds
embroidery. She needs some material for this, so she uses her GPS and
personal scheduling software to identify how to get it quickest. It
turns out that Chris is just across the street from the fabric store,
and he is scheduled to meet with girlfriend Sarah at her house in an
hour. She programs her scheduler accordingly and immediately gets a
request from Sarah's scheduler to bring over two folding chairs when
she comes. She confirms the request and Sarah, getting the message,
IM's a 'thank you'. She then places the order with the fabric store,
pays for it, and notifies the store that Chris is authorized to pick
it
up for her, all online. She has a videoconference with the president
of
Dionysis Designs, her co-op project sponsor. They talk about how an
entrepreneurial business like Dionysis is set up, and some of the
challenges the business has faced. Kari has already sold some of her
own custom-made clothes, and some of her own embroidery designs,
through her personal website.
MC2, which stands for Managing Content &
Communications, is the only software package Kari ever learned to use.
It has three 'modes', represented by a pencil cursor (for
document/message writing and annotation), a hand cursor (for saving,
sending, publishing and otherwise moving content from one place to
another), and a telephone cursor (for connecting with other people and
their content). She laughs in disbelief when her father tells her he
had to use 26 different, and incompatible, software programs to do the
things she does with MC2, which a friend
taught her to use in 15 minutes.
She dictates some information about the Gore-Tex jeans she made that
afternoon (convertible into shorts, and with the scanned and
computer-embroidered likeness of the owner on one 'cheek' and that of
the owner's sweetheart or friend on the other). She takes a photo of
the jeans with her webcam and uses MC2 to
move the article and the photo to her personal website -- today's
'blog
post' done (though Kari has never heard it called a blog -- it's just Kari's 'public'
space). She also moves the pattern and specs for the jeans to her
'shareable files' folder (along with the demo tracks from Chris'
band),
and sends copies of the post and the file to her 'clothing designs'
mail group (which, she notes proudly, has been subscribed to by over
1000 people around the world).
Kari calls her generation 'Nomads'. To them, she says, home is just a
place to sleep. There is no need to be in any particular place to do
anything, and some of her friends are in her house (it has a
nice-sized
meeting/party room) more than she is. She can't remember the last time
she actually sat in a classroom, and is astonished that some 'older'
people still drive to personal 'offices' -- what for? Ironically, some
of her best friends, and those with whom she spends the most time, she
has never met face-to-face. But she rarely needs either a car ride or
to take public transit -- her 'face-to-face' friends are within easy
walking distance, as is the community centre, the doctor, the great
organic vegetarian restaurant, Starbucks and the fitness centre. And
who would go to a movie theatre with such a limited selection and no
3D
vision? Anything you need to buy can be either downloaded, file-shared
or ordered online and delivered to your door. And when you actually
have to go to a store, your
webcam
lets others look over your shoulder and get you to pick up what they
need.
Evening comes, and Kari settles down with Chris ("we're just friends")
and Sarah, and side by side on their PTVs they watch six hours of a
much-discussed
new comedy series, pausing for breaks, to chat with each other and
with
online friends, and for a one-hour workout. "Let me get this straight
-- back in the '90s you had to wait a week to see each new episode,
watch commercials, and if it
wasn't on at a convenient time, you had to record it on tape?" (wild rolling of
eyes)
