Battlefield Band is back with a brand new studio album featuring a clear emigration theme.
Temple Records - Emigrants and emigration are making the headlines all over the world. The problems and benefits are highlighted in the press, the TV, radio and discussed in pubs, over the dining table, and in dubiously reasoned political debate, as [...]
Wal-Mart and SmileyWorld duke it out for total smiley world domination.
The Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) which is funded by the U.S. Defense Department to monitor “1,500 militant websites” has come to the conclusion that said “militants” have done at least one mod for Battlefield 2 that adapts the MEC for a more contemporary and factual context. Now, listen to this:
Battlefield 2 ordinarily shows U.S. [...]
The European Food Safety Authority says sweetener ‘is not a cancer risk.’ Can’t have health concerns hurt the bottom line now can you. Needless to say, the EFSA like most of the EU administrative machinery has close ties to the corporate world. The Ramazzini Foundation stands by its original study though. Not that it is [...]

The 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, as outrageous as it is even in its most “limited” form, it also has to extend to university networks as well. Needless to say, this opens up a Pandora’s [...]
America likes to put on a good show and be put on record as being fair and correct. Rather than debate the actual events, Americans like to think they got it right in the end and that is all that matters. The “history will judge us” doctrine which has been brought up again recently. Or [...]
A “thoroughly fact-checked film” (!?) or a candidate for the Leni Riefenstahl Awards? American film critics are so ecstatic there HAS to be something wrong.
