Defending Myself, condemning the indefensible.
Most people know me from one of two places: either my YouTube page or from my weekly reporting of the Sunday Morning Talkshows over at Crooks & Liars. At the end of all my posts is the following tagline: Final Bush tally: 10,300+ DEAD (3,000 on 9/11. 4,500 in Iraq, 1000 in Afg. 1,800 in […]

Recording History for Pharaohs Who Seek to Rewrite It
Think about those ancient hieroglyphics we’ve all seen carved into the walls of Egyptian tombs. Just about everything we know of early civilization comes from the writings on pyramid walls.
