So what? : Dick Cheney

Taken from Salon.com

Vice President Dick Cheney appeared -- from Oman -- on "Good Morning America" Wednesday. During Cheney's appearance, ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz mentioned public opinion polls on the war in Iraq.

Here's the conversation that ensued, including Raddatz's original comment. Video of the exchange follows.

RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So.

RADDATZ: So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. There has in fact been fundamental change and transformation and improvement for the better. That's a huge accomplishment.

Como aprendí inglés

Tengo un nivel de inglés que me permite leer y escribir en ese idioma (ver mi blog Reason Prostituted ). Hay quienes me preguntan que cómo es que aprendí inglés. No aprendí inglés por medio de una institución educativa. Tampoco he vivido en Estados Unidos. Lo que me ha servido de base fueron un par de "cursos" de inglés bastante básicos. Uno consistente en un librito y un par de audiocassettes, y el otro un antiguo y amarillento libro. También tres clases de inglés que llevé en la universidad.

El primer libro que leí en inglés fue Jelly Belly , que trata sobre los esfuerzos de un niño gordo para adelgazar. Bast

Yet another blog of mine

As if I didn't have enough blogs... Here comes Blogpil . Health pills from Honduras... . What happened with my abandoned blogs? Well. This I abandoned for son long. But still, it can serve me as a metablog: for comenting my other blogs. The philosophical ones... I abandoned them because they don't pay. Philosophy is not profitable for me. These days I am more practical. I am comited to offer value to my readers. Who really cares about my stupid opinions? Everyone has an opinion. Opinions are cheap. Anarchism, in my blog Contraeconomia doesn't pay off. I love utopias, but utopias are not practical. Critique of atheism, in my blog Reason Prostituted , didn't pay me at all. But my Sangre de Cristo blog (Blood of Christ), is better. Lately I've been exploring the issue of metaphysical prayers . My blog about promos and services of cellphone companies turned out to be very profitable. That one I'll keep up updating. The one about Honduras , in Englis

We trap God

Photo by @brianphone We trap God, hang Him in stained glass, entrance Him by organ music and chorus We bind Him by ritual, tickle Him by prayers and train Him to become our pet. And we freely make Him take off our guilt of exploiting too much, Of having too much, of wasting too much, of living too comfortably Once the desert God, jealous and wild; now an amulet on a charm bracelet. —Yorifumi Yagucchi   Sapporo, Japan.
