Spencer Ackerman, reporter for The Washington Independent, discusses the shame deserved by neo-crazy media sycophants Jeffery Goldberg and Stephen F. Hayes, who have both done so much to push the lie that Saddam Hussein was working with Osama bin Laden, the effect of the echo chamber on the inside of the media industry, how he got the war wrong and what he’s trying to do about it now and the fight between the Mahdi Army and the Badr Corps (aka 'Iraqi Army') and the failure of the surge.

Artistic Quality, Libertarian Quality, Doomsday and There Will Be Blood
Yesterday I watched two movies, both of which I enjoyed: Doomsday, and There Will Be Blood. Doomsday is a dystopian film taking place in Britain.
