 Freedom of Speech [2]. Freedom of speech? Democracy? We don't need this crap. NYPress - Cage Match"Abandoning the time-honored pretense of spontaneity, Bush chose the order of questioners not by scanning the room and picking out raised hands, but by looking down and reading from a predetermined list. Reporters, nonetheless, raised their hands in between questions- as though hoping to suddenly catch the president's attention. In other words, not only were reporters going out of their way to make sure their softballs were pre-approved, but they even went so far as to act on Bush's behalf, raising their hands and jockeying in their seats in order to better give the appearance of a spontaneous news conference.

 Old ads, continued [2]. It cured me! Have a look at the Victorian Tradecards exhibit at Miami University Libraries. The Miami University Libraries contain several thousand advertising trade cards. Trade Cards were typically used to advertise products and services including such items as patent medicines, thread, sewing machines, food and beverages, farm equipment and others. Trade cards reached the height of their popularity during the 1880's and 1890's. Reduced postal rates and the rise of magazine publishing led to the eventual decline in popularity of this unique American form of advertising.

 Russian Magazine Cover Art. At least I assume that's what it is, because the website is all in Russian and my knowledge of cyrillic is a bit rusty. In fact, I don't know Russian at all. But the pictures are fantastic and the time range goes from 1926 up to 2003. Which is almost a Century. A lot of covers to look at. And they're all worth it.Found through the fabulous xq weblog, which I can't read either, because again it's all in Russian.

 War against War. Some things never change. The Memory Hole website has some excerpts of Ernst Friedrich's 1924 book War against War, with some pretty gruesome pictures.In 1924, the German anarchist and pacifist Ernst Friedrich published one of the great anti-war classics, War Against War! . Outraged by the slaughter of the Great War (now known as World War I), Friedrich gathered pictures of battlefield butchery and mutilated soldiers. Juxtaposed with propagandistic pictures of military "glory" and labeled with ironic, sarcastic captions, these photographs showed, and continue to show, the reality of war in all its sickening horror. At some point, we may bring the entire book into digital form, but for now we offer these lowlights. With Bush & Co. determined to send America's youth into Iraq at the dawn of the 21st century, now seems like the perfect time to remind the world of what war really is, courtesy of a man born in the 19th century. More nasty pictures are at This is War. This stuff should be shown at schools. Or at least sent to Downing Street and the White House. Fellow Bloggers, please link this.
