This is for people who read the MSM and shake their heads at the bias. Each morning I post what amounts to a "national newspaper" of articles and comments from my "Eagle" [socially liberal/fiscally conservative] POV. Those here read what is of interest to them and comment on them from their POV. I describe in detail exactly how I do this here. Message 20865642 Please read it before posting.
I post most of the articles in "clumps" and suggest you check the thread in groups of 50 posts if you are only interested in what I am posting. That way you can pick out and read most of my extracts from the news and the blogs.
1) No personal insults!
2) No six year olds, please.

"The Pentagon's new Map," by Dr Thomas Barnett
I find Barnett to be the most important "futurist" thinker around. This is the Esquire article that made Barnett's "bones." It was published just as the Iraqi liberation started.
