WEBSITES
A real miscellaney | All over the place |
Kind of like the way my brain works |
• Ellen Phillips Samuel Memorial Sculpture Garden | While doing a search for the late sculptor Heinz Warneke, I came across this site, a sculpture garden along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Fairmount Park | Warneke, incidentally, spent his latter years in East Haddam, CT |
• Rayz Realm | I've been following the progress of this site for some years now, only it was (until recently) known as Big Boote's Area 51 because one of the things that Ray has an interest in is extraterrestrials | But that's only one interest | I do happen to agree with his point of view on a number of matters and I link the breadth of links he has on the topics he's interested in [grammer comment: ....in which he has an interest"?]
• Bartcop's Radio Show | Alright, I don't know if there's an actual radio show by this name, but it's a fun satire site | Irreverent, funny, brash | Good company to keep when we're all hauled off to interment camps |
• Hydrogen powered Chevy Truck | Built with a minimal budget using existing technology by high school students in Arizona | Imagine what some socially responsible corporation with a billion dollar research budget ought to be able to come up with next to this |
• USA Department of Interior Museum Program | According to this website "The Department of the Interior is second only to the Smithsonian Institution in holding natural and cultural objects in trust for the American public | With over 145 million objects and documents, Interior's collections run the gamut from art to zoology" | Does the rabid anti-art Congress know about this treasure? | The picture to the left is a rendering of the protest after Operal singer Marian Anderson was barred from singing at Constitution Hall by the Daugheters of the American Revolution in 1939 |
• US Government opposes United Nation Resolution against tobacco controls | Going against the agreements of 170 soverign nations, the US Government backs that corpornational confederacy of drug pushers known as the Tobacco Industry | According to an article in the Boston Globe [reprinted in the Agribusiness Examiner]:

The treaty is a real millstone for the United States. The problem is that the evil dictator killing millions is not Saddam Hussein. It is an industry run by madmen holed up in New York skyscrapers and corporate bunkers in Virginia and North Carolina. They have paid handsomely to assure that President Bush will not launch an attack. In the 2002 election cycle, big tobacco gave $6.4 million of its $8.1 million in contributions to Republicans. Philip Morris, the world's biggest cigarette exporter, paid $3.4 million to buy influence, with 80 percent of its contributions going to Republicans or the Republican Party.¶ 22:51
So the ink had not even dried on the treaty when the US delegates started making noise that the Bush administration might not sign it. The U.S. health attache in Geneva, David Hohman, said the United States wants the treaty to allow a nation to opt out of provisions it finds objectionable.
