Two links to media critiques: (1) Kristoff complaining<\/a>
\nabout how Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt receive more attention than the
\ngenocide in Darfur; and (2) it’s not available online yet, but in next
\nmonth’s Harper’s Magazine <\/a>Mark Crispin Miller asks why did the media ignore the Ohio voting irregularities story.  The report from the House Committee Democrats<\/a>
\nis pretty damning.   Perhaps those who claimed that Ohio was
\n“stolen” in November 2004 weren’t whiney conspiracy wackos afterall?<\/p>\n

I am still marvelled by my transformation. In 2000, I voted for Nader,
\nthe original consumer rights’ advocate, and now I find myself annoyed
\nby the whole class action litigation industry.  I view them as

Edit: I just consulted mon pere about my upcoming Galapagos trip (he
\nlived in Ecuador for a while with his second wife).  He warned me
\nabout the flight between Guayaquil and Quito (frequent crashes due to
\nthe mountainous terrain around Quito — couples fly in different planes).  Now, I have visions of a
\ncrash in the Andes, followed by chaos and cannibalism.  Hm, I
\ndon’t know if my lack of meat would be helpful or dooming in that
\nsituation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
