I wonder why so few people have noticed Dick Cheney has admitted to being part of a process for U.S. war crimes?
amazingly, Cheney still supports waterboarding, despite the fact U.S. courts ruled long ago it constitutes torture, or that the U.S. War Crimes Act defines torture as a war crime
Whoa! sorry, I forgot we're talking we're talking about the U.S. vice-president who shot a Texas lawyer and got away with it
no wonder the December 20 editorial from the Los Angeles Times says he's delusional

awake yet?
hey, Hippies! remember Ziggy?
[ for under-40s, Zbigniew Brzezinski is an amazing yet underestimated geopolitical philosopher and strategist who served Jimmy Carter as principal foreign-policy advisor and National Security Advisor, a hawk who both played a role in détente and helped form the pre-Taliban Afghan mujaheddin network, way back when the Soviets were in Afghanistan ]
Ziggy’s written an excellent essay on political awakening, well worth the read in the International Herald Tribune

virgin birth? nothing special, even sharks do it
parthenogenesis, i.e. asexual reproduction, is not unknown among humans, although some would have you believe virgin birth only happened once and that that was a divine act [well yeah, isn’t everything, whether your personal divinity involves the Goddess, the Matrix, or whatever?]
true, it doesn’t occur often in mammals, but it’s common among plants, bees and fleas, and lots of other living things; now we can be more certain it happens with sharks, too
the first report, in 2001, came from a Nebraska zoo where DNA evidence proved a newborn hammerhead was a result of so-called virgin birth
now, at Virginia Aquarium in Virginia Beach, a necropsy after the death, during a routine physical exam, of a female blacktip shark revealed she was carrying a near-term pup fetus, even though there hadn’t been a male in her tank in more than 8 years
how come you don’t see these stories in your daily newspaper?
