quebecdude commented on the blog post The Wal-Martian Chronicles
I used to live in Argentina. Locals told me all about how Walmart colluded with the Menem Government to buy cheap, well-ubicated real estate (i.e. former detention centers where dissidents were tortured and disappeared).
In exchange for the sweet deal, it appears Walmart agreed not to dig too deep when building the stores, you know, in order not to unearth the remains buried on site.

quebecdude commented on the blog post FDL Book Salon Welcomes Martin Cohen and Andrew McKillop, The Doomsday Machine: The High Price of Nuclear Energy, the World’s Most Dangerous Fuel
I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet, but nuclear energy is an old concern of mine.
Here’s my question: according to the authors, is enenews.com a reliable source of information re Fukushima?

that would explain the recent fluff on Zelikow, who was Condosleeza’s mentor.

Isn’t Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the guy who got waterboarded 183 times?
I’d confess to pretty much anything after that.

Larry Flynt brought Woodward out as a Mockingbird asset, the CIA program to infiltrate the media. Check it out, its on the public record, couple of years ago IIRC.

Frothy is unbelievable, reminds me of Lars Von Trier’s classic The Idiots.

quebecdude commented on the diary post Hey, Did You Happen to See the Most Beautiful Girl in the World? by Jane Hamsher.
If it was my dog, I’d cook brownies with hemp butter in them. I’d feed her a little bit every day, let the cannabinoids go to work on the cancer cells. The evidence it works is compelling, and it’s way cheaper than any vet chemo treatment. Plus you get to feed her many more future [...]

I have a hard time believing in any veteran trying to sell me more war. The guys on the photo look pretty green, maybe they did most of their service in the tent, or under a CO’s desk somewhere.

quebecdude commented on the diary post Top 10 Firedoglake Blog Posts of 2010 by Brian Sonenstein.

For someone living outside the US, it’s always reassuring to see there is still intelligent discussion going on in the midst of all the craziness coming from the States. This certainly doesn’t mean that we don’t have crooked pols in Canada and Québec; we certainly have them. PM Harper is [...]

quebecdude commented on the diary post Green Room Blues: Matt Taibbi Edition by Jane Hamsher.
Taibbi’s style always makes for a riveting read, no matter how sordid the actions depicted. As such, it is a fierce piece of educational material with undeniable appeal (especially when you read out bits aloud in the break room, IMO). However, I think the key sentence here is the one about the crime being so [...]
