Click the thumbnail for more pictures of refreshing Vienna.
Guardian: "Vienna's prestigious Leopold Museum is usually a pretty buttoned-up place, but yesterday some of the nudes in its marble galleries were for real.
Scores of naked or scantily clad people wandered the museum, lured by an offer of free entry to The Naked Truth, an exhibition of early 1900s erotic art, if they showed up wearing just a swimsuit - or nothing at all."

I haven't read this myself yet. But I suppose my readers are quite able to make up their own opinion of this book You Are Being Lied To (pdf).

CommonDreams: "U.S. food aid is inefficient, wasteful and designed in most cases to benefit domestic constituencies, particularly U.S.-based agribusiness firms, shipping companies and some non-governmental organizations (NGOs), more than needy people in developing countries, according to a new report released this week by the Minnesota-based Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP)."
Also interesting is Eye on America, a compendium of IATP articles for Social Watch that examine the impact of U.S. policies designed to reduce poverty.
It looks like the US is not combating poverty, but the poor; and government social policies may have done less to eradicate poverty than to render it invisible.

Never before has the world had to face such a hooligan of a president as Bush. A few days ago he reacted to a question shouted by a reporter with a 'fuck you' flip up (see picture). Bush is quite dexterous. Bush a Christian? Don't make me laugh. He belongs to the Church of the Latter-day Hooligans.
