5 Years in Iraq
Happy Anniversary, dumbshit.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence - economic, political, even spiritual - is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
President Dwight Eisenhower, in his farewell speech to the country
January 17, 1961

Such Great Heights
Listened to this album by The Postal Service non-stop when it came out - what else was there to listen to? Hard to believe that was 5 years ago already...
I used to write inspection procedures for wafers in a clean room for a few years - although I can assure you they didn't move this slow..

The Last Days of Disco - Clips
From the director (Whit Stillman) of Metropolitan (1990), a film I really dug - this came out a few years later (1998) and still isn't available on DVD for some reason. I still haven't seen Barcelona (1994) the second part of the 'trilogy'.
