The chickens come home to roost from the
neoconning of America 05/12/2004 04:02 AM
Ever wonder why the Bush administration couldn't find an Arabic speaker to be Viceroy of Baghdad, but instead was stuck with monologuists like Garner and Bremer? You would think that it would make sense for the American ruler of Iraq to be able to speak to the Iraqis in their own language. While they may not be plentiful in the United States, there are over 400 Arabic speakers in the State Department, plus a number at the Pentagon and the CIA, as well as former officials from the Reagan and Bush administrators. Maybe because they all thought occupying Iraq was nuts? Certainly the best known ones, like Ambassador Chas Freeman, did. Look at what they were getting into: Has any official United States policy in recent memory been as feckless as the Bush administration's for postwar Iraq? Can we, for a moment, recall just some of the assumptions that the administration announced or embraced? That Americans would be welcomed as liberators? That we could secure the nation with a force of a little more than 100,000 troops? That Iraqi oil revenue would be such that the occupation would pay for itself? That, in accord with our assumptions on troop requirements and postwar financing, we didn't really need the kind of international cooperation that the nation had historically sought for this kind of venture? That, in accord with the same assumptions, there was no reason not to enact more massive tax cuts for the rich? With the revelations that have emerged of the degradation and torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, it's become particularly clear that the administration gave no real thought to the challenges at the very heart of occupying another country. Put it all the assumptions together, as Harold Meyerson did in his brilliant editorial and the neocon fantasy does seem nuts, doesn't it? The sad thing is, there aren't any real surprises here. Almost everyone of the people who knew anything about the Arab world said these assumptions were nuts before Bush started his war on Iraq. But that wasn't the answer that Bush wanted. Instead, he turned to people like Prince of Darkness Richard Perle and Douglas Feith (former registered lobbyists for Israel and Turkey), who gave him the answers he wanted to hear. What is the end result? I turn to Meyerson again: the United States, and the entire Western world, are engaged in a...

Turncoats in Bermuda shorts. 03/13/2003 12:58 PM
Turncoats in Bermuda shorts. Arianna Huffington continues to skewer offshore tax shelters in her latest Salon opinion piece. Despite her patriot-speak denouncing these corporations for avoiding taxes while our young men are getting ready to die for their country, she does shine the light on a growing problem – “basic fairness and economic justice” – or, the lack of it. How can the average American not be outraged at this, when so many of us are expected to be able to account for even the smallest charitable donation we would dare to use as a tax write-off?

Lonely Island: wack-ass online shorts
and mp3s 09/10/2004 02:08 AM
Xeni Jardin: Last week in LA, I went to a Channel 101 screening -- monthly events where a edgy creatives show short films before a live audience, who in turn vote the work on or off the proverbial viewing island. The project isn't a cable TV show yet, but it ought to be. I understand they recently shot a pilot for Fox, so perhaps it will.

One of the teams who participate regularly in the Channel 101 showdowns is The Lonely Island, and they've just posted a bunch of their work online. It's terrific stuff. One of their pieces, which screened at last week's event, is a dry, deadpan music video performed by two guys, called, uh, "Just 2 Guyz." (MPEG-4 Link, MPEG-1 Link, 2 min.). I loved their "Nintendo" animated short, too (MPEG / Quicktime, 3 min.)

Episodes of the Lonely Island short series The 'Bu are here (Link), with Sarah Chalke of Scrubs and Roseanne fame. Other celeb links -- Brooke Shields has a 5-minute bit in the begining of Episode 2: Regarding Ardy. (Link). Kal Penn (of Harold and Kumar and Gilmore Girls) plays Fred in Episode 2. A source close to the project says, "Kiefer Sutherland interrupted the filming of episode 1, then told all sorts of fanciful embellishments about it on Leno and Letterman. (Link)."

Korean Children's View of Japan

Korean Children's View of Japan 06/22/2005 02:59 AM

In this Korean news article, you can see pictures drawn by Korean kids to express how they feel about Japan's recent claims over the Dokdo islet. Disturbing?

If it's any comfort, I was one of those kids myself. I don't remember a specific moment it happened, but the seed of hate was planted deeply. Even now, I can feel it, lodged deep within my heart between pride and shame. Thankfully, the hate is mostly directed against certain people whose behaviors fit the evil profile we were brainwashed to hate. I can only hope today's Korean children feel the same.

Japanese children's books from 1920s

Japanese children's books from 1920s 08/21/2004 12:55 PM
Xeni Jardin: Click image for full-size. Browsing through this beautiful gallery of children's book illos from the '20s, I keep thinking about the fact that these were all created during a period just before Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's kind of fascinating to look at the art from this period of Japanese history, and consider the fact that the people who remember these books as part of their own child years were around my own age group -- twenty or thirtysomething -- when the bomb dropped and changed everything. Maybe a hundred years from now, some young person will stumble on an "Electric Company" episode and think, "Wow, that's what the 9/11 generation was watching in their diapers." There's some interesting analysis on a subsection of this website. Snip:

"The children in Kodomo no kuni seem to be enjoying the pleasures of modern city life. There are Western-style houses, trains and cars running along busy streets, airplanes flying in the sky, and subways passing beneath a townscape bristling with skyscrapers.

What is different from now is the energy and cheerfulness with which people seemed to be looking forward to the happy future that materialistic prosperity would surely bring."

Maybe those people 100 years ahead will look back on our enthusiasm for technology the same way. Someone in 2104 will take a break from watching Olympic nanorobotic doping scandal coverage on their ocular implants. They'll blink "pause," and browse the BoingBoing archives, and think, "How quaint, how naive. If only those poor fin-de-siecle suckers had stopped at Perl." Li nk to Kodomo no kuni (via MeFi)

Puppy/Polar Bear Children's Fridge

Puppy/Polar Bear Children's Fridge 04/01/2005 09:28 AM

A fridge so adorable that you could just eat it up is really the last thing you want when struggling with your diet [You actually wrote that? —ed.], but for the skinny crowd, Fujitronic makes a series of animal-styled mini-fridges. Available shaped as a polar bear or puppy dog, they feature an on-door LCD which can house a virtual pet to keep you entertained while you wait for your bacon craving to pass. It's unfortunately $400 (plus $120 shipping!) for just 3.2 cubic feet, but it at least features a "conventient [sic] and practical rotary fruit tray" to make up for it.
