• Classic: Animal Farm

  
  1ReAd2: books, comics etc etc — Authority: 107
  George Orwell’s fable adapted as a cartoon. The film as in all adaptations differ, for good and bad, from the story of George Orwell. Once critic at the time said that Orwell would not have been pleased with the altered ending. I would agree. There are also stories about how this animation was partly funded by the ...

• The Federal Reserve is fundamentally a scam, run by big international and foreign banksters.

  
  InvestmentWatch — Authority: 155
  They have monetary diarrhea because it benefits the big banks, right at this moment, to have that. The actions of the Fed have absolutely NOTHING to do with the best interest of the people of the U.S.A., or, for that matter, small to medium sized financial institutions. It is all about the big international casino ...

• All solutions are individual.

  
  Cancer Bitch — Authority: 107
  Thats what I learned from reading the Chicago Tribune today, specifically, a little wrap-around page touting itself. But wasnt it preaching to the choir? It should be boasting to people who dont have the newspaper in their hands. First problem: A pizza deliveryman was mugged and carjacked. Solution: "...people from ...

• Orwell on Writing

  
  wordswimmer — Authority: 110
  Two classics of English literature–George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm–are familiar to most high school students, as well as college literature majors, but few readers seek out the pleasures to be found in the rest of Orwell’s oeuvre, which includes numerous short stories (“Shooting an Elephant” is one of ...

• aspidistras, anyone?

  
  rashbre central — Authority: 128
  What was I thinking yesterday? Staying in to watch shabbily constructed television? Writing an almost negative post? There must have been a temporary fault in my reality. Maybe its because I was abandoned yesterday evening whilst others took a sports car downtown for merriment. Far more positively, alongside my ...

  Citizen Wells — Authority: 583
  Barack Obama, the Obama camp and the Democrat Party continue to attack Sarah Palin. They are openly, flagrantly, requesting donations to continue their Orwellian attacks on Palin.

• Four-Links – Gaucho stepside CJ, Thought Police bikes, GM Fremont assembly plant tour, oddball Euro trucks

  
  Hemmings Auto Blogs — Authority: 526
  * Jeep never made a stepside CJ-based pickup, correct. The Scrambler was a fleetside, unibody (that is, cab and bed were integrated, not body and frame) pickup. But some enterprising Southern California dealer did build a stepside CJ-based pickup in the 1970s and called it the Gaucho. Now Jeepforum member jscherb has ...

  Sociology Lens — Authority: 125
  by paulabowles Many lecturers and teachers will recognise the feeling of disheartenment when confronted by an undergraduate essay containing multiple references to Wikipedia.

• Masters of the Language

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 173
  In the prophetic 1984, George Orwell described the purpose of Newspeak, the language of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. Newspeak was designed not only as a medium of expression for the Ingsoc worldview, but also "to make all other modes of thought impossible." Once Newspeak was fully adopted, "a heretical thought ... ...

  Ethical Martini — Authority: 115
  I’m currently reading a great book on the British media by the two guys behind Media Lens , David Edwards and David Cromwell.

  2parse — Authority: 129
  I’ve tried hard to find something to respect about Victor Davis Hanson – as he takes himself seriously, and is taken seriously, including by people whom I take seriously – but for the most part, his pieces are just less hysterical attempts to push right wing memes . Only in a world of Sean Hannitys, Glenn ...
