The Exile
Does this description lead you to want to read the publication:
It’s the sort of stuff that makes you wonder why you bother writing science fiction, when there’s a vast dystopian anarcho-Stalinist bad-acid flashback fast-forward experiment going on on a few thousand kilometres away, and I don’t mean America.
If so, then check out The Exile.

Where is America Headed?
As a follow up to last night’s Late Night Reading take a look at Doug Giebel’s article Ending America as We Know It which opens:
The neo-conservative Bush Administration “plan” to remake our American nation intends to alter forever the relationship between government, business and the people.
In the summation to his arguments Giebel asserts:
Americans are being played for suckers by a carnival of macho scam artists, the likes of which this nation has never before experienced.
You read it, you judge.

Paying for Iraq
There’s a lot of material in Cheney’s Meet the Press appearance today. I imagine most of it will be chewed on by one or another member of the blogosphere show I will show restraint and share just this one snippet regarding how the cost of the Iraq debacle will be paid:
But this is not a situation where, you know, it�s only a matter of us writing a check to solve the problem. Iraq sits on top of 10 percent of the world�s oil reserves, very significant reserves, second only to Saudi Arabia.
The fact is there are significant resources here to work with, and the notion that we�re going to bear the burden all by ourselves from a financial standpoint I don�t think is valid. We�ve got a donor�s conference scheduled coming up next month, where the international community will come together and pledge funds to cooperate and supported with the Iraqi operation.
Of course it was never about the oil and I look forward to hearing how much the coalition of the willing will pony up.
