13 VS. 2,000,000 - Fort Hood Shootings a Shocker...Why Not U.S. War Crimes?

By Ted Rall

November 19, 2009 -- NEW YORK--American lives are worth a lot. So when Americans get killed, it's a big story. There are lots of editorials. Congressmen call for investigations. We want to find out what happened, why it happened, and how to make sure it never happens again.

The lives of foreigners, on the other hand, are pretty much worthless. Even when they die because Americans killed them, news accounts… Continue

No Tip=Jail Time in Pa.

Sad to think someone would have to go to jail for not tipping because of bad service. They paid for the food. Theft, WTF. I can kind of understand if they just got up and left without paying, but after crappy service they still paid. I'm glad the ticket will not hold up in court. It really doesn't matter for the couple who has been humiliated. The bartender didn't even work it out, he is an ass. Don't go to restaurants that make the gratuity mandatory. I will not tip if the service is… Continue

Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama: We, the Palestinian people, are fed up!

An open letter to Barack Obama

Haidar Eid, a professor of English, political commentator and resident of Gaza City, asks whether the president of the United States remembers anything from his long-ago meeting with the late Palestinian intellectual Edward Said.

Campus Watch Copycats Close in on Israeli Professors

by Jonathan Cook

Right-wing groups in Israel want to create a climate of fear among left-wing scholars at Israeli universities by emulating the "witch-hunt" tactics of the U.S. academic monitoring group Campus Watch, Israeli professors warn.

The watchdog groups IsraCampus and Israel Academia Monitor are believed to be stepping up their campaigns after the recent publication in a U.S. newspaper of an Israeli professor’s call to boycott Israel.

Both groups have… Continue

Government Web Site Says Stimulus Created Jobs in Nonexistent Districts

Making music is a labour of love, making money is a by-product.

In a perfect world we would give all our music away for free and survive on touring revenue, merchandising and licensing income. Alas this is not always possible. In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s. The good news is that much of our catalog has been released under this creative commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 We have made many Antiqcool songs free to download for a reason, we want you to… Continue

Robbed Blind by A Lipstick Wearing Pig

Tiny chip could diagnose disease

bbc.co.uk

Researchers have demonstrated a tiny chip based on silicon that could be used to diagnose dozens of diseases.

A tiny drop of blood is drawn through the chip, where disease markers are caught and show up under light.

The device uses the tendency of a fluid to travel through small channels under its own force, instead of using pumps.

The design is simpler, requires less blood be taken, and works more quickly than…
