What is troubling is that the US is singling out Cuba for economic
warfare while doing its damnest to promote economic bear-hugging
other socialist and ropgue states, presumably on the premise that
economic well-being will persuade the citzenry to vote with their
pocketbooks by buying and consumi
The US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), which controls exports,
today announced new restrictions on gift packages to Cuba on the grounds

Your Sondheim valorization is commendable if you can keep it

tied to it, like Seinfeld's George Castanza, expecting swell mutual

Words, coherent language, came from god, and if that anti-scientific premise
is offensive, recall that the earliest philosophers, Thales et al in western
canonicism, others earlier in Asia and Africa, argued that coherent

Feminism is not the same as women, maybe not about most of
them either. It addresses a fairly small set of some women's
interests, and some of those women extrapolate their interests to
women in general. And a small number of men use this as a

What is great, sublime, to speak frankly, about artists is their bitchy

What is disturbing about lack of information from the South Asia tsunami

A fair amount of this critique of computer use is applicable to business,
