Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”
Southwest Airlines is the product of a true southern sensibility. Meaning there is little sense – or heart – in anything it does. It represents all that is ugly about the US south. Especially lately. It is making a name for itself not for excelling in air service but for evicting passengers for . . . → Read More: Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”

Haroon Siddiqui hits these columns out of the park. Much needed to be said but our media has been reluctant to shout out the obvious.
‘Islamophobia: The new anti-Semitism‘

Not to mention, no doubt, things to drive American Homeland Security Batty and drive the McCarthyist Tea-bagger paranoid types off to the fainting couches. Norway’s response to the recent terror attacks, quite different from Dubya Bush’s “We’ll smoke ‘em out!” vengeance speeches following 9/11 or those crazy security measures like airport body scanners . . . → Read More: Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

Boys ‘n’ girls, put your tinfoil hats on! It’s going to be a bumpy ride!

Al Queda has been the go-to boogieman when acts of violence are perpetrated in western countries. The media, fed by right wing pundits and bloggers, does the full knee-jerk reaction, wondering aloud which brown-skinned, Islamic organization is responsible. Despite reports from both the UK and the US that right wing extremists were as . . . → Read More: Guardian: we can no longer ignore the far-right

Jymn published the vile and despicable blogging of Michael ‘cue-ball’ head Coren, earlier today; that miserable blog where he seems to imply that those Norwegian victims seemed to deserve what happened to them.
