Went to see Fugazi at Glasgow Barrowlands this week.
Singer Ian McKaye had some interesting comments.
The suspect in the Washington DC sniper case was a Gulf War veteran who suffered mental illness when he returned. Timothy McVeigh, who killed hundreds in the Oklahoma City bombings, was a Gulf War veteran. Isn't it time to break the cycle?
He also spoke about the 200 000 who marched in DC against war in Iraq.

CSS Tableless Sites
nice list of sites which, like this one, use positional css for layout instead of tables. Why bother? Better for accessibility, loads faster, looks cooler.

Herald - Socialists name list candidates for May
"THE Scottish Socialist party yesterday unveiled its full list of candidates for the regional lists next May and said their calibre proved that, while the party may still be led by Tommy Sheridan, it was no long a one-man band.
In fact the band of brothers will include many sisters come next May. Mr Sheridan said that, after the third successive month on 8% in the NFO System Three poll in The Herald it was clear that in any of the eight regions the top SSP candidate had a chance, and in some areas, particularly Glasgow, two could conceivably go through.
With six MSPs the party could form a group to earn a place in the parliament's business bureau and demand more time for its debates and amendments. "
