The Noble Lie

I know, these don't count as real posts, but at the moment it's this or nothing. The beginning of the end of most good blogs is when they turn into glorified link lists.

That being said:

• Semioticology - You can bet the Inner Party will be able to switch their telescreens off... (20,000 problem families in the UK get mandatory 24/7 CCTV cameras installed in their homes)
• Shock as figures reveal Britian has more CCTV cameras than China (Britain has one and a half as many cameras as ALL of China, one camera per 14 citizens)
• Blacklisted News - UK think tank calls for limiting amount of children to save planet (two-child policy)
• Blacklisted News - Sterilise parents receiving government benefits, says Tory
• Australia needs one-child policy: ex-MP
• Real USSR (fascinating blog about life in the USSR, lots of vintage photos)
• New York Times - Obama's Embrace of  a Bush Tactic Riles Congress (use of signing statements, including one to cut strings attached to money given to the World Bank/IMF)
• Clunkers program could drive used car prices up
• Rabbis fight flu pandemic on a wing and a prayer
• FED faces its Zimbabwe Moment (these Forbes bastards sure know how to make me cringe)
• 8% of North Carolinians Don't Consider Hawaii Part of the United States (a new avenue of attack for the birther movement, I knew we should've stayed out of WWII)
• Brad Blog - FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds subponead (should be velly interistink if she gets to testify)
• Democracy Now! - Obama Reverses Campaign Pledge to Renegotiate NAFTA (wherever they need us, our destinies lead us, Amigos we're always together! wherever we go, we're three brave Amigos and we'll be Amigos forever!)
