Socialism Doesn't Work (2.11.2005)
Socialists Call Market Economies "Inhumane," "Destructive," "Ignorant"
Because China is known for its "outstanding" record on human rights, Cuba for its "productive" knowledge economy, and North Korea for its "brilliant" Nobel Prize-winning academic sector. Oh wait, they aren't.

Big Huff at SIU Over Movie Posters
St. Louis Post-Dispatch calls the poster "racy." It's hardly even as racy as what you'd find in the lingerie pages of a Target ad. But when it's posted over the racks for the school paper, the usual suspects get bent out of shape.

Ah, There It Is
The wayward North Korean "we're pulling out of talks" story comes home to roost on the English-language page of the propaganda agency's website the day after it makes big news. The original must've been issued earlier on the Korean-language section of the site. The media reporting on the original story should have made it clear that the content differed between the English and Korean versions of the site; otherwise, it gives the impression that they failed to fact-check their original stories. Time for a little game-theory analysis: If North Korea carries out nuclear tests, what next? Even the Reds in Beijing are saying they want talks to resume.
