After watching this, I'll bet you're so glad that the Clintons "aren't going anywhere," right?
...and here's a "Real News" report on the collapse of the Wilkins ice shelf in Antarctica and what the IPCC regards as the accelerated pace of climate change...
...Kelvin Lovely names Pat Buchanan "Media Moron Of The Week" (and in addition to a bunch of other reasons, let's not forget Pat's role in the 2000 presidential election as well as that of Nader, particularly in Florida)...
...and as a two-for-one tribute, here's a scene from "Judgment At Nuremberg" (written by Abby Mann, who died yesterday) in which prosecutor Richard Widmark (who left us also earlier this week) interrogates a German judge who decided to "say no" to National Socialism prior to World War II, though the judge accuses Burt Lancaster of caving in (Lancaster remains silent for much of the movie, though he gives an inspired if wrongheaded defense of his actions near the end - the judge on the stand is also questioned by Spencer Tracy, and when he's questioned, just substitute "war on terror" for "crimes against the state," Dubya's secret tribunals for "people's and special courts," and Muslims and Arabs for Jews and Poles, and you're pretty much caught up to where we are now, especially concerning the DOJ - we could still make movies like that back in 1961 without the rest of the world laughing at us.)
