Propaganda 101
Echoing a recurring concern of mine over dangerous, and misleading, hyperbole directed at Iran, blogger Arthur Silber at "Once Upon A Time..." submits this dissection of Matt Drudge's latest reprehensible act. With the President's poll numbers still sinking faster than a 20-pound stone, what better way to distract the American people than to start those ol' war drums beating again.

I don't mean to clog your blog, but here is a very interesting and informative link that sheds light on the effects of the patriot act on internet public spaces.
Do you really know what goes on behind the scenes on eBay? Check this link ou to see- controversial ebay document- auction
"The University of Michigan School of Art & Design presents a school wide group
exhibition using ebay as venue. Undergraduate, graduate students and faculty submitted
proposals for artworks in which the entire ebay listing (item for sale, descriptive text
and placement within chosen categories) is the work. Works presented in the show exploit,
redefine or underscore ebay’s potential in the exchange of ideas, objects and commerce.
The artists chosen for the show received instructions for the day and time to post their
listing in a 7-day online auction. The first of the 25 auctions begins on December 1st
2005 and the last auction ends on January 1st, 2006. This 31-day event of staggered
auctions can be viewed simultaneously here at www.ebayaday.com"
