Google defended the decision by saying it reserves the spot for historical figures and events, but a review of its past doodles shows it has never honored Jesus on Christmas or Easter, despite his historical and spiritual significance to billions around the world….http://www.twitpic.com/cgbubq

Struggling to stand upright against a howling wind, Bragi Benediktsson looked out over his family’s land — a barren expanse of snow and ice that a Chinese billionaire wants to turn into a golf course — and laughed. “Golf here is difficult,” said Benediktsson, a 75-year-old sheep farmer. It was 11 a.m. and a pale sun had only just crawled sluggishly into the sky. The snow, which began falling last September, will probably continue until May. Even for Icelanders accustomed to harsh weather and isolation, Grimsstadir is a particularly desolate spot. Thanks to a poetry-loving Chinese tycoon with a thing for snow, however, i…http://www.twitpic.com/cef10g

Members of Occupy Edinburgh – who say they are fighting corporate greed – have taken over the prime city centre spot which just two weeks ago hosted a Hogmanay party envied around the world. The city council has ordered the group to leave and campaigners said they would go if handed an official eviction notice. But they warned their “roving camp” would find a new home for “people at the bottom of society”. Edinburgh University student Ellie Stewart, a member o…http://www.twitpic.com/bvkwun
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot “I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” -Thomas Jefferson “Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” -Thomas Jefferson It was the rise of the nation-state, and then the rise of the democratic nation-state, that finally put a stake through the heart of feudalism. Now, in a world where international banks attack vulnerable democracies with austerity plans in the name of protecting the fabulously wealthy from taxation, and industries chase all over the globe in search of the most thoroughly exploitable labour and resources, perhaps it's time to consider rebooting this system. Quote: “Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.” -Thomas Jefferson Now, raise your hand if you voted for your WTO delegate… As I thought. The time has long passed for the false dichotomy of unfettered trade versus isolationism. While Patriotism, like religion, ideology and national security, has been used as a tool to keep armed peasants humping themselves and their gear toward the front lines, a modicum of nationalism is precisely what we need. The road to this fresh new hell is paved with good intentions… (end)http://www.twitpic.com/bq01ex
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot Washington's Cliff Notes: How to Get Yourself to the Edge of the Fiscal Abyss and Not Jump http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/175615/tomgram%3A_kramer_and_hellman%2C_it%27s_the_politics%2C_stupid/ They don't call it the “cliff” for nothing. It's the fiscal spot where a nation's representatives can gather and cry doom. It's the place — if Washington is to be believed — where, with a single leap into the Abyss of Sequestration, those representatives can end it all for the rest of us. In the wake of President Obama's electoral victory, that cliff (if you'll excuse a mixed metaphor or two) is about to step front and center. The only problem: the odds are no one will leap, and remarkably little of note will actually happen. But since the headlines are about to scream “cri…http://www.twitpic.com/bd1mv6
