Obama's 100 Days
The Mad Men Did Well
By John Pilger
In advertising terms, Bush was a "brand collapse" whereas Obama, with his
toothpaste advertisement smile and righteous clichés, is a godsend. At a
stroke, he has seen off serious domestic dissent to war, and he brings tears
to the eyes, from Washington to Whitehall.

The US Should Cut Military Spending In Half
By Benjamin H. Friedman
To really keep us safe, we should slash defense spending. Americans should
prepare for fewer wars, not different ones. Far from providing our defense,
our military posture endangers us. It drags us into others' conflicts,
provokes animosity, and wastes resources.

Will pandemic be mild, or kill millions?:
Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's acting assistant director-general, said that swine
flu appeared very similar to normal seasonal flu, a disease that is rarely
fatal for healthy adults but can kill the elderly and infirm. - Chan
acknowledged that the disease may well cause more discomfort than death,
noting that many patients infected in the United States have recovered on
their own and without medicine.

It's official. The United States is mired in its worst economic downturn in
half a century, the U.S. Commerce Department reported Wednesday. Data
released by the department show that the U.S. economy shrank by 6.1 percent
during the first three months of the year - a full percentage point worse
than what analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had been predicting.
