some interesting blogs:

this is an outstanding blog by kurt nimmo, Another Day in the Empire: life in neoconservative america. super

Cuba and the "Necessary Viciousness" of the Bushites - an artical by him in last week's Counterpunch - transcript of bush's speech here

this blog is very good too, with some interesting and amusing flash movies they call their 'question mark campaign' - blah3.com

and on the otherside of the fence...

there are some bitter, twisted people out there. an absurdly irrational onslaught of abuse from a blog set up to attack Chomsky

their mission statement. sweet jesus:

'What exactly would we be aiming to do?

1. Spread the news that Chomsky is an intellectual fraud on the scale of Lysenko or Lyndon LaRouche.

2. Make it impossible for any intelligent and well-informed person to quote him with a straight face. (We're already more than half-way there before we even start.)

3. Make any TV or radio talk show host trying to find someone to cover the left side of a political debate think twice about calling Chomsky. Ditto for university lecture series.

4. Get our site high enough on the Google hit-list for 'Noam' and 'Chomsky' to be able to convince the ignorant that Chomsky is an ass, while annoying the Hell out of the unteachable Gnoams.

5. Cause sales of Chomsky's stupid, dishonest, and repetitious political books, pamphlets, and tapes to plummet. If they drag sales of his linguistics books with them, too bad.

6. Maybe even work up a book of our own and make a few bucks. (Bet you saw that one coming, "Eric A. Blair"!)'

... the rest of the site is all pretty shocking, so if you have a weak heart...
