MARCH 15: PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS

Mark your calendars! Join Meryl Yourish's campaign, International Eat an Animal for PETA Day, on March 15. How about Buffalo wings, club sandwich, hamburger, or ribs, at O'Learys? Yummy! I am getting hungry for a real pastrami sandwich. I haven't been able to find it in Gothenburg yet.

RECYCLING: GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT!

Recycling is an anti-industrial idea. The idea has been implemented by the manufacturing industry in Germany. The environmentalists labeled the idea as "Der Gr�ne Punkt" (The Green Dot). I am glad to hear that some of the old leaders of the green movement in Sweden have changed their mind regarding recycling. [Via InstaPundit.]

I don't think that the bureaucrats at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency are happy campers at the movement...

JOHN COX & ALLEN FORKUM WEBLOG

I have added John Cox & Allen Forkum to the Blog category.

THE EUROPEAN "ANIMAL FARM"

"Axis of weasels" and "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" are members of the European political "zoo". How about adding "Three Blind Mice" to the "animal farm"?


For more cartoons like this, check out John Cox & Allen Forkum's book, Black & White World.

FRENCH TOAST...

I think that French and German exporters will soon start to feel the heat. Americans have started to vote with their wallet. Personally, I will think twice before I buy a product from France or Germany, if I can find an alternative product from e.g. America, Great Britain, or Italy.

I wonder if the Australian wine exporters will dare to use some of
Tim Blair's marketing slogans. [Via InstaPundit.]

MOUNIR EL MOTASSADEQ: YOU ARE GUILTY!

At last! The First Guilty Verdict in Sep.11 Terrorism Case. I wonder how many members are left of Mohammed Atta's al Qaeda cell? After all the tragic things that have happened related to the airline industry, I am happy to see this announcement by Hooters Air. Do you think that militant Muslims want to fly with them?

GOOGLE IS NOW IN THE BLOG BUSINESS

Google has purchased Pyra Labs. Is this the renaissance of a new and successful "dot.com" era? It will be interesting to see how Google will continue to build its brand with a tool like Blogger.

UPDATE 02/19/03: More Internet news! Overture has purchased AltaVista. Read The Motley Fool's take on the deal, Hasta La Vista, AltaVista.

ISRAEL

Listen to Prodos' interview with Daniel Mandel, Australia/Israel Jewish Affairs Council. They will discuss several myths about the Israeli occupation.

UPDATE 02/18/03: For more information, go to Myths & Facts Online. A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict. [Via "Then there was a blog....."]

100,000 SWEDES MARCHING ALONG...

Maybe I should have followed Fredrik Norman's advice..., but I had to go to Gothenburg city in order to buy some tea. (By the way: what kind of slogan is: "Make Tea, No War"?) I had to cut through the marching mob (around 30,000 people) twice. EGO had a counter-demonstration! I stood peacefully and waved a Gadsden flag ("Don't tread on me") and a 1st Stars and Stripes (the "Betsy Ross Flag") for about 30 minutes. Several people walked by and looked at my flags. I heard a camera flash behind my back, so maybe I am now registered in the "black book" (or should I say, the "red book"). I saw plenty of "Palestinian" and Cuban flags, and flags with Karl Marx, Che Guevara, and Saddam Hussein.

UPDATE 02/17/03: I look forward to read Michael Moynihan's report, Stockholm's Million Socialist March. It will be interesting to see his snapshots.
