My speech continues
More from Gore.

More from my speech
One of the clearest indications of the impending loss of intimacy with one's soul is the failure to recognize the existence of a soul in those over whom power is exercised, especially if the helpless come to be treated as animals, and degraded.

It's great to be here
I want to thank Brian Flemming for allowing me this opportunity to be a guest writer here at Brian Flemming's Interblog. I read it several times a day, and I often crib from it for my occasional speeches. I hope Brian doesn't mind! LOL ("laughing out loud")

Guest blogger: Al Gore
I don't have much time to blog, so I've asked my friend Al Gore, who has a lot of time on his hands these days, to step in and do some guest blogging.

Renovated WM3 website
Damien Echols' final appeal is coming up. If he loses, he could be put to death, which will be a victory for Christianity run amok. Damien will essentially be dying for wearing black, listening to heavy metal and growing up in Arkansas.

"Do we have something to fear?"
"George sees this as a religious war," one family member told us. "He doesn't have a PC view of this war. His view is that they are trying to kill the Christians. And we the Christians will strike back with more force and more ferocity than they will ever know."

Debunking theories about the Nick Berg video
That theory that the video is faked is currently a popular obsession in the the left blogosphere. I spent a small amount of time looking into it (including watching the video, which I was avoiding) and have become embarrassed for many of those who are advancing the notion.

Demonstrating freedom
I've been coming around to the idea that, at this point in time, independent filmmakers have another obligation: To demonstrate the liberties granted us by new technologies. We need to be making films that couldn't have been made before. We need to destroy old barriers. We need to be creating films that nobody would have allowed themselves to think about making prior to the present time, as those films would have been impossible to make. And I'm not talking about going hand-held with a little DV camera. I'm talking about heresy.

"Agreement": The Rumsfeld-Saddam handshake remixed.
May 16, 2004
New Yorker: Rumsfeld approved Abu Ghraib treatment
The roots of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal lie not in the criminal inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision, approved last year by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to expand a highly secret operation which had been focussed on the hunt for Al Qaeda, to the interrogation of prisoners in Iraq.

"Sue Me": Now available as a bribe
Have you ever called your Congresscritters? If you're a political telephone virgin, now's an excellent time to pop that cherry. And if you're a call-to-Congress slut, there's good reason to do it again. Slut.

Stating the obvious
Dear U.S. conservatives: Some of you are outraged at the outrage shown by U.S. citizens about the torture of Iraqi prisoners of war by U.S. troops. You wonder, where is the outrage at Al Qaeda and the perpetrators of the grisly scenes in Fallujah?

"Let's put it this way"
Is the torture of Iraqis really so surprising when the commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces jokes about extra-judicial killings in his State of the Union address?

The poverty tax
Slate: "Many Americans—particularly those who don't live paycheck to paycheck—are unfamiliar with the payday-loan industry, one of the nation's fastest-growing and most depressing businesses. Payday advance companies offer tiny, short-term loans—a few hundred bucks for a few weeks—while charging annual interest rates that top 500 percent. Borrow $200 today, pay back $240 or $250 on payday."

iMix
The new iTunes Music Store feature called iMix is pretty cool. People create playlists with themes, and then you go and spend lots of money to download them as DRM-protected files whose terms of use can change on you at any time without notice.

Bobblehead blogged
I talked to a certain national newspaper of note today about Fair Use Press's Sue Me, Asshole. They seem interested in covering it, but there's that whole...er, penis aspect. How does a respectable family newspaper cover this story while avoiding the penile details? We'll see. Thank God the blogosphere doesn't have any standards. The links happened fast and furious today, spreading ridicule throughout the internet. The governor's shortcomings have been exposed for all to see...
