Editorials and suchlike items...

Before I get on my high horse...here's a link sent to me by co-blogger tara...and is probably better and more useful than anything I've come up with since I started this...

http://www.archive.org/index.php

Classic TV, Movies, Animation, Books (both e and audio), a live music archive that has close to 60,000 concerts....just a brilliant resource. I suggest bookmarking it at once.


A quick glimpse at current opinion...



I believe one of the readers of this blog is one happy scientist all of a sudden...^_^





An example of how not everything that is considered bad is always bad. There are circumstances where layoffs are a good thing.....

I don't have a cartoon on one issue that interests..and that's the BBC's (and now SKY TV also) refusal to air what even the makers agree is a plea for aid to Gaza that will be focusing heavily on the "poor victims in the Gaza strip" and the destruction wrought on them by the "overly aggressive Isralies". Many protests about how the media is being controlled by the evil jews and parliamentary votes have been scheduled. I think the tone of the protests makes it easy to see that the normal anti-semitic stance of the Brits (something they have been trying to convince the world is not true for years) is still very much the special of the day. Kudos to both BBC and SKY for making a decision on neutrality and sticking to it...and to those on the other side...stop whining..you won...your leaders said so....and they wouldn't lie would they? Why not take a quick trip down to Gaza and help them celebrate their "great victory". I'm sure an influx of English speakers of European descent will be welcomed with all the warmth and hospitality that is usually shown to them in the region. Maybe even phone ahead so they have enough time to get the swords nice and sharp....




...and to show that not everything brings forth a political diatribe...here is this years McLaren F1 car...which...except for the silly looking tiny rear wing, (mandated by this years rules), I think is a pretty good looking racing car.

Hi Cliff,

Thanks for posting these great cartoons...i really liked the one about the scientist.

Let's hope that America can emerge from the last eight years of "dark age" and that the scientific community can once again lead the country and improve the lives of the living...as opposed to erecting roadblocks and trying to protect microscopic groupings of embryonic cells...

love from,

tara
