[The Big Act by Sprout] Quote of the Week Posted by Sally Wed, 29 Mar 2006 22:15:00 GMT “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” - Mark Twain Well see how true that is after “More About” is fully implemented. But seriously: “Get your facts first and then you can distort them as much as you wish.” - Twain Aah, is that the real advantage of “More About?” Well actually, after much thought, I think this properly describes the new addition: “Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.” - Mr. T again Cant wait to see it in action!

[Presstalk.blogspot.com] Don't trust the Indian Media!: A person I know, who sat on the 'Committee' a few years ago, unfortunately he sat on the 'Committee' which awarded 'God' (who also wanted an award for his 'man' - the publisher and 'editor' of the publication he works for but the 'Committee' weren't ready to give him a PB and only wanted to give him a PS, but 'God' would then be a quandry, winning a bigger award than his 'boss', so that got scrapped and subsequent events concerning God's #2, a pretty lady journalist and half the Indian Cabinet were to derail the sequence of events next year - EDIT - God's boss already had a PS but he wanted more either a PB or a RS seat, thankfully he got none). This person told me that that they got 25,000 applications for the Awards every year, I read a few of the applictions, people writing in letters demanding that they be awarded the Bharat Ratna for developing among other things 'A clinically tested cure for Cancer' (hah!)

[Leiterreports.typepad.com] Leiter Reports: A Group Blog (Jan. 23-May 31 2006): Of Cultural ...: An open letter to Ordfront, signed by Chomsky, Tariq Ali, Arundhati Roy and others, stated: 'We regard Johnstone's Fools' Crusade as an outstanding work, dissenting from the mainstream view but doing so by an appeal to fact and reason, in a great tradition.' In his personal letter to Ordfront in defence of Johnstone, Chomsky wrote: ”I have known her for many years, have read the book, and feel that it is quite serious and important. Chomsky makes no criticism here of Johnstones massacre denial, or indeed anywhere else - except in the Brockes interview, which he has repudiated. Indeed, he endorses her revisionism: in response to Mikael van Reis's claim that 'She [Johnstone] insists that Serb atrocities - ethnic cleansing, torture camps, mass executions - are western propaganda', Chomsky replies that 'Johnstone argues - and, in fact, clearly demonstrates - that a good deal of what has been charged has no basis in fact, and much of it is pure fabrication.'
