Jeff Phelps - On the Corner

Lots of good suggestions so far. But also try: Le Monde Diplomatique (English edition) Maybe you have institutional access or you can subscribe from 15 pounds Counterpunch If you only read one thing here, make sure it's Alexander Cockburn's weekly column published every Friday - barbed...

Notting Hill Diary Diane Abbott, writing in the Evening Standard, demanded a curfew to deal with "these young people, who seem to have no stake in society"; on the same page, diners at the "Michelin-starred Ledbury gastropub" in Notting Hill were locked into a wine cellar to escape a...

Only came across this short piece on TONF by Michael Lind today. Worth a read. Thanks! Time magazine in 2004 named Ferguson one of the 100 most influential people in the world, which might help to explain the condition of the world.

Rather than a few decent points I think TE tears the NCH to pieces (plus jokes). Thanks!

Watched this last week but forget to say thanks!

If you are on a budget then get something from IKEA. But the ones from HiFi racks are really good and relatively affordable because you can pay a lot more for equipment supports (for example, Fraim, it's beautiful but really expensive). Slightly pricier than Hifi Racks but also very nice is...

Good piece by Tariq Ali in the Guardian today with the catchy title, "This is an Arab 1848. But US hegemony is only dented." It ends with this poem by the Iraqi poet Muddafar al-Nawab: … Mubarik, Mubarik, Wealth and good health Fax the news to the UN. Camp after Camp and David, Father of all...
