Censors and Euphemists

Good morning. Several new items today.

• The U.S. government's Department of Agriculture has erradicated hunger. No joke. It's no longer calling America's 35 million poor hungry, but merely lacking in "food security." One more step in America's surrender to the fake. See "Security's Hungers..."
  

• Al-Jazeera has gone global with an English service. Too bad you can't see it in the United States. See "Censoring al-Jazeera..."
  

• Weekend Reading: On Monday Pierre presented a talk at Stetson University as part of the university's Values Council lecture series. The full transcript: See "Whose Freedom? Whose Responsibility?"
  

• John Dowland, anyone? For a little Elizabethan Lute music, try the "Dowland-de Maistre Smackdown..."
  

• Plenty more, as always, in Candide's Daily Journal...

Good weekend everyone.pt
