I think I’m officially on Korean time now. Got up to watch the Brazil match somewhere in the 47th minute and passed out shortly after. Awoke again to sit slack jawed and comatose through the first half the US/Germany match. Somehow, on the day of all soccer matched, it was 7:15AM, and I was out …

Well it’s about time, and also far too late, but Earth First Activist Judi Bari finally got what’s due yesterday when it was ruled that the FBI must pay 4.4 Million for their actions perpetrated against Bari and her husband Darryl Cherney. It’s a great reminder of what savage …

I found the documentary on Road-Side Shines tantamount to discovering a perfect diamond in the mines of doc-cinema. Thanks to the …
