Now a bunch of right-wing dipshits have taken over the archives of USAID. My prediction: they're going to go through the agency's emails and other communications and pluck individual sentences and phrases out of context, to make them look sinister.

and that respectability is exactly what Murdoch bought in order to lend false legitimacy to the right wing propaganda delivered in the same paper.
he's done this all over the world for decades, the newsroom can't pretend not to know their work supports Murdoch's project.

as a teenager I spoke with Allen Ginsberg at a poetry reading. he asked what I was studying, we talked about physics a little. then he called me a nerd, said he was a nerd, too, and shook my hand.
