Sometimes I’m as Sick as a Roman
The Roman Empire, which the American empire is frequently compared to had a penchant for sick diversions. As much as I like to decry the violence in our society as well as the violence often shown in the mainstream media, sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy sick humor. This is one of those times.
And here’s what takes the American Empire one step further than the Romans.
I wonder… if the Romans had access to the technology they had, would they make remixes of Christian disembowelment at the jaws of hungry pagan Lions?
If so… would I have watched them?

I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media’s lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be an issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on http://www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?
Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.
