Commentary: Macromedia lacks common sense. The dizzying new design of Macromedia's Web site has more fundamental problems than its incompatibility with Apple's Safari browser. [CNET News.com]

This article contains very good advice, but it makes a fundamental mistake by not realizing that different sites have different purposes. Comparing Macromedia with Car sites with the New York Times with United Airlines is not very helpful...

Update:Why do they say it is incompatible with Safari?... It worked fine for me...

Are Chavez and Fidel communists?.

Interesting article from Val Dorta's website on whether Chavez is or not a communist. I definitely agree on Chavez and have said it here in my website, but was surprised by Val's quote of Gabriel Garcia Marquez a close friend of Fidel Castro:

"Fidel is not a communist, he is a typical Latin American dictator who has conveniently chosen to wear a communist mantle."

A similar point about Chavez is made by Francisco Toro of Caracas Chronicles in the first of his five not-so-easy pieces. Francisco can definetly write up a storm, check it out!

Invading Iraq makes war criminals?. From The Independent:

Legal experts added to the doubts by saying British troops could be the first defendants to face war crimes charges if the government joined a war without UN backing. Even the accidental bombing of Iraqi civilian targets could trigger criminal prosecutions, senior lawyers warned last night.

Maybe it's a lot clearer now why Bush & Cheney insisted that the US not be party to the International War Crimes tribunal. If they insist on invading Iraq with no international authority to do so, as has clearly been the desire of the neocons since at least 1998, we may be facing the real possibility that Bush and other US officials get declared as international war criminals and face arrest and trial if they leave the country.

Anyone still say there's no difference between the political parties? That no one should remember Bush stealing the 2000 election and everyone should just "get over it?" This guy has two years left in office, and he's done enough damage in the first two that the next two presidential terms couldn't fix it all. The economy is shot, our international credibility is gone, we're about to send US soldiers to commit war crimes (invading a country with no international authority to do so, just like Iraq did to Kuwait in 1991), domestic credibility is shot - everything these guys touch turns to disaster. Even the principled part of the GOP is turning on its head to support preemptive war, international intervention, huge deficits, rampant federalism - you name it.

The White House now puts out more lies by noon than the Clinton administration could manage in a month. This is the guy who was supposed to restore "dignity" to the office? Why is the GOP standing behind this guy? Don't they have anyone better? Anywhere? [Life and Deatherage]

As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam
Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam
Now don't get us wrong ?cause we love America
But that's no reason to get hysterica
They're layin' on the syrup thick
We ain't waffles we ain't havin' it

In a world gone mad it's hard to think right
So much violence hate and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

Now how many people must get killed?
For oil families pockets to get filled?
How many oil families get killed?
Not a damn one so what's the deal?
