98% of the “journalists” in the corporate media are chumps. Everyone knows it but the chumps themselves.

Speaking of Harvard, reminds me of (Brooklyn-born) Prof. William Alfred’s example of high, medium and low diction:

“The agony has abated.”

“The pain has stopped.”

“It don’t hoit any more.”

passing the buck seems to be as contagious as the swine flu

We have witnessed this administration get off for lying about intelligence, starting a completely unnecessary war, outing an undercover agent (well I guess Libby losing his license was something), undermining the DOJ, illegal wiretapping. Now we have alleged spies not even going to trial why Larry Franklin was left holding the goods.

Will we ever witness anyone held accountable for this torture?
Never a time like now to say “when pigs fly” or “when pigs have wings” Especially with the swine flu filling the air waves

Can the swine flu be carried by birds?

I really must get this time thing in phase some day …

Who Owns New York

Oh, who owns New York?
Oh, who owns New York?
Oh, who owns New York the people say.
Why, we own New York!
Why, we own New York!
C-O-L-U-M-B-I-A!

Proof in the form of one jpeg image from the Harlem River page at the Bridge and Tunnel Club website; a little story about it here.

No one ever played that “Roar Lion, Roar” thing when I was there. We have one of those beefeater guys too, who marches in academic processions. (The last one passed away not long ago.)

Got to agree about “The Victors” though.

No, that’s the wrong way to frame it. See Glenn Greenwald, and scroll down to “Update II”.

OT, but certainly of a piece with knowing which questions not to ask about the torture issue, is this, where it looks like Obama caved on dropping the charges against the two AIPAC honchos:
