in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war.

marxism 2011 program notes: prospects for the left under a harper majority

These are my notes from the 2011 Marxism conference in Toronto.

what i'm watching: maybe coffee was coffee

Someone just emailed this to me. +++++++ George: (While preparing bicarb) She invites me up at twelve o clock at night, for coffee. And I don't go up. "No thank you, I don't want coffee, it keeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee." I said this to her. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live. I can't imagine what she must think of me. Jerry: She thinks you're a guy that doesn't like coffee. George: She invited me up. Coffee's not coffee, coffee is sex. Elaine: Maybe coffee was coffee. George: Coffee's coffee in the morning, it's not coffee at twelve o clock at night. Elaine: Well some people drink coffee that late. George: Yeah, people who work at NORAD, who're on twenty-four hour missile watch. Everything was going along so great: she was laughing, I was funny. I kept saying to myself "Keep it up, don't blow it, you're doing great." Elaine: It's all in your head. All she knows is she had a good time. ...
