At work, I don’t use livejournal, because, well, it’s not appropriate, and the last thing I want showing up in the lists of urls I go to is my own blazingly partisan blog. Well, maybe gay porn would be worse. Straight porn would definitely be worse. But I’m digressing. <\/p>\n

So, instead, I’ve started keeping up on current events from newssites directly, instead of relying on and others to pick the interesting bits for me. So, I’ll share the tastier fruits I’ve picked. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New York Times<\/a>\n
      \n
    1. Doctors helped in the torture and interrogation of guantanamo bay prisoners<\/a>\n
    2. A U.S. General says Iraqi insurgents are recruiting like crazy and haven’t significantly reduced in overall strength<\/a> in congressional testimony\n
    3. Rumsfeld says that setting a time by which we’ll leave would help insurgents<\/a><\/ol>\n
    4. The Economist<\/a>\n
        \n
      1. World’s opinion of the U.S. in decline<\/a>\n
      2. Religious Right has become a force to reckon with in US politics, and it won’t just go away<\/a><\/ol>\n
      3. A book review I ran across on drug companies and tthe development of new drugs<\/a> discovered while doing work related research. I won’t comment on it, because it’s work related, but I wanted to share it. I ought to share other articles to give a fuller perspective on the matter, but I’m lazy.\n
      4. And finally, from an article on a politically oriented college for fundamentalist christians<\/a><\/ol>\n

        Commentary:
        \n1.1 Makes me sad. Doctors should not be involved in torture. Not that the hippocratic oath means much, but still.
        \n1.2 It’s good to hear frank truth, even if unpleasant.
        \n1.3 He’s probably right, but staying in there doesn’t seem to be slowing them down much.
        \n2.2 United States religious extremists are a force to be reckoned with, and rational people aren’t as dedicated to keeping them where they belong, on the margin. The article is sadly accurate.
        \n4. I found this article scary and sad at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
