a fantatastic, lenghty, exploration of oil in nigeria.

why sending more troops into iraq would be an unmitigated disaster.

the entire New York Transit Authority Graphics Standard Manual, from 1970

GordonSmith, the Republican Senator from Oregon, has delivired an excellent takedown of the recent policies in iraq (he likes bush too like for me, but his use of churchill deconstructs his role as warmongeringsaint for the neocons, and the rhetoric is first rate)
Best Line:
I, for one, am at the end of my rope when it comes to supporting a policy that has our soldiers patrolling the same streets in the same way, being blown up by the same bombs day after day. That is absurd. It may even be criminal. I cannot support that anymore. I believe we need to figure out how to fight the war on terror and to do it right. So either we clear and hold and build, or let's go home.

An ancient ice shelf has cracked off northern Ellesmere Island, creating an enormous, 66- square-kilometre ice island and leaving a trail of icy blocks in its wake."It really is incredible," said Warwick Vincent of Laval University, one of the few people to have laid eyes on the scene. "It's like a cruise missile has come down and hit the ice shelf."The breakup was so powerful, earthquake monitors 250 kilometres away picked up the tremors as the 3,000 to 4,500 year-old shelf tore away from its fjord on Ellesmere.
