Let's get one thing straight: I'm 28 years old today, so I can do whatever the fucking hell I like. New paragraph.

See? You can't stop me, so don't even bastarding well try it. Now, before I go out and vent some drunken fury at this ridiculously puffed up megalopolis, I've got some stuff for you to look at. And shut up.

IraqMortality.org, a site compiling information on the violence in Iraq, with resources on the major studies of mortality in Iraq and sources for activists.

Why we must leave Iraq now, an excellent article by Juan Cole that I missed when it first came out.

'Victory' by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the late, sinistral Italian poet murdered, many believe, by fascist militias in 1975. This is a previously undiscovered poem by the author, and Direland has its first, exclusive English translation.

Finally, an excellent Pilger article on the "epic crime" in Iraq.

There you are. Now, give me a tune and let's rock this mother.


Birthday boy.
