Reformist demands investigation into treatment of detainees - (USA)
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — A former Iranian presidential candidate is calling on one of the Islamic republic’s most powerful clerics to approve a special committee to investigate alleged mistreatment of detainees arrested in the aftermath of the disputed presidential elections.

Crocking Points Memo - (USA)
Tempted to launch a new feature here devoted to The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day, I was faced with a dilemma: how to decide, for a pace-setting flagship opener, the most worthy such item from among the 306 million yielded up by American “culture” each day by 8pm? I mean, I can’t be everywhere, and don’t make me come back there. So I decided, on canonic general principles, and as therapy suggested me by my doctors at the Partnership for a Free Brain, America (Scare Crow, founder, Tim Woodsma

The Anti-Obama Groundswell Begins? - (USA)

Most of them evolve around the health care mess that may be the beginning of Obama’s fall from grace. But, to begin, I have to do something that I never thought I would do and I never thought was in the realm of possibility. Based upon the knowledge available thus far, I have to give kudos to Bill Clinton. Unless evidence appears that he sold the country out or promised somet

Yanks Change BP Rules, Daily News Takes Credit - (USA)
I mentioned this in the game thread last night, but wanted to make sure everyone saw it so I decided to give it a post of its own. Also there's some new info regarding who is taking credit for it.

Here is what the A-Z Guide on Yankees.com says: Remember fans, on game days, arrive early. Yankee Stadium Gates on Babe Ruth Plaza and Gates 2 and

Chomsky on The Election, Economy, War, and Peace - (USA)
By Noam Chomsky. Republished from Znet 11/25/08 Noam Chomsky: Tireless critic of Western imperialism. Routinely blackballed by the corporate media he remains far less well known and influential at home than abroad.

Scribd Goes Social, Adds News Feeds and Followers - (USA)
Scribd has quietly become one of the world’s most popular websites. The service lets you share documents, presentations, and PDFs online; its embedding feature alone has revolutionized how documents are used and shared. Still, many pieces of Scribd have been a silo; many users search for a document (often finding it via Google), download it, and leave. So how do you keep users engaged with your product?

Indian media, analysts pour venoms against Pakistan - (USA)
KARACHI: Mumbai carnage drop scene has ended, but the Indian media and political analysts without any evidence hastily started the blame game against Pakistan as usual and poured venoms polluting the atmosphere that so laboriously had been built up after years of confidence building measures.
