Today, Jim provides a few political links. I'm feeling lazy and basically farming out the Picks for the day. Appears weblogs.com isn't listening to my pings either, but I also can't see Dave Winer's site, so I expect there's something busted out there.
- Want to keep track of the on-going war against Iraq? U.S. Bombing Watch tries to provide info on every US bombing (there's usually at least one a day). [Jim]
- TIMEeurope.com: Poll -- The Biggest Threat To Peace - another dumb, unscientific internet poll. Still, it amused me because of which nation is "winning". [Jim]
- My experience is that cold weather deters turn out for political demonstrations. In spite of that Demonstrators rally to protest possible war with Iraq shows that organizers claim a turnout of 2400 for an anti-war rally in uptown on Saturday. Indymedia has more info. [Jim]
- Greenpeace Gives Dow Chemical Taste of Bhopal Waste. The leak in 1984 killed 8,000 people and injured half a million. Neither Union Carbide (who was operating the plant at the time) nor Dow Chemical (who bought Union Carbide in 2001). The really appalling part is that internal documents that Dow was forced to release show that Union Carbide eliminated safety features at Bhopal in order to save money. [fark!]
