FYI, Harvard's Economics department is pretty uniformly reviled by other faculty, not least because of the tawdry Andrei Schleifer/Larry Summers affair (not a sexual affair thank god).  There is a (correct) perception that the Econ department is populated by a bunch of tools and apparatchiks as opposed to real scholars.  This new study should help dispel that myth, of course... :)

Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

God damn The Pusher
Gad damn The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11

Too funny... I did write back to tell Giedre that the papers aren't mine, but in any case it seems we'll know in two weeks whether they will be published in The Structural Engineer journal...

Dear [Gretavo],

Thank you for your email.

Your paper's two parts have now been through the review process and I am awaiting for reporters comments and decision. As soon as I get the information I'll come back to you. I should say it shouldn't take more than another 2 weeks.

Kind regards,

Giedre

The Truth....On That Day
As we gazed, and we're horrified
All victims....hurt deep inside
What went wrong?

Six years....worth of tears
And the lies....that vilify
People.....so sweet inside
Let the Truth Be known...

We've all seen....the buildings
With people....still in them
Demolished....where no chance...of living....was given
So I sing this...so one day...with our faith...
The Truth Will Be Known
Through A Song....
The Truth...On That Day

Stumbled upon this "tellingly over the top" post on the internets:

http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/158919

It is basically a reprint (with some "jew-hatred" thrown in for effect) of a New York Megaphone article by Hicks.

Something from the wine cellar tapes to remind us of the beauty of life.

It's funny isn't it that after we all (I use the term loosely) got banned from truthaction (and previously from 911blogger) both sites seem to have become much more open to discussing Israeli involvement?

this could be totally off base, but deserves a look!

New York Governor ‘Destroyed’ Over Threat To Probe 9/11 Attacks On US
New York Governor ‘Destroyed’ Over Threat To Probe 9/11 Attacks On US

March 11, 2008

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

Reports consuming the US propaganda media organs and political elite today are centering upon the charges leveled against the Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer[pictured top left], and who is said to have paid for the services of a high priced prostitute.

There's an interesting blog entry over at blogger proposing a civil suit against the security companies at the WTC, which reads, in part:

I just had to copy this from the True Faction forum, since it really is some of RT's best, if I say so himself... and of course the whole Eliot "chews 'er up and" Spitzer outing seems a good opportunity to draw attention to this seamy and underreported part of the whole 9/11 mess. So, with a special dedication to Client 9:

The European and American descendents of the pagan Kuzari or Khazar tribes from southern Russia who converted to Judaism roughly 1268 years ago in the mid 8th century CE (1) have been given justification for their support of the military appropriation and occupation of the land of Palestine through texts such as Nachmanide’s (1194-1270) commentary on Maimonides’ (1135-1204) Book of Commandments:

Spitzer should be prostituted to the full extent of the law, adds Alternet... :)

Do they realize he's a truther?
