A fascinating investigative article in Rolling Stone<\/a> on a cabal of American neocons trying to get an invasion of Iran on the agenda – chilling because of what it suggests about the ability of such small groups of ideologues to drive global events. Full of dramatic cloak-and-dagger stuff too. Mediawatching types will be interested in the way they use the big newspapers as pawns in their scheme.
\nNate’s take on Israel\/Lebanon<\/a>. He’s always worth reading, he’s an incredibly good communicator with an interesting perspective and an uncommon background. Oh, heck, I’ll just copy in his own introduction:
\n“This journal is about whatever crosses my mind. At the moment that’s mostly my struggle to make sense of the massive feeling of spiritual dislocation brought to a crisis by 9\/11 and the 2003 Iraq War. There’s more but that’s the starting point. My name is Nate Cull. I’m a New Zealander by birth and residence, a Gen-Xer by cohort, a sysadmin by trade, a Post-Evangelical Christian by religion, and politically your guess is as good as mine, but I would have once called myself conservative. Like a lot of things so far and to come, that part of me is now in flames. ”
\nGo read. Incredibly worthwhile.
\nAnd on a completely different note, Cosmodemonic’s Failed solutions to being hungover at work<\/a> – the link is to #1 in a short series. Warning: Cosmodemonic’s blog is not for the faint-hearted.
\nAnd on a more completely differenter note, Teresa’s recipe for banana bread<\/a> makes me hungry just thinking about it. Yum. (Ooh, she’s just posted the recipe for the absolutely incredible white choc and cardamom fudge<\/a> too. That stuff almost had me in tears it was so good. *sigh*.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
