Foreign Policy: Why Hawks Win: "Modern psychology suggests that policymakers come to the debate predisposed to believe their hawkish advisors more than the doves."

Act Against Racist AsianWeek Article Petition

Act Against Racist AsianWeek Article Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]: "We join Asian American leaders in criticizing AsianWeek for printing Kenneth Eng's column 'Why I Hate Blacks' in its February 23rd edition. We condemn the piece as irresponsible journalism, blatantly racist, replete with stereotypes, and deeply hurtful to African Americans. "

Sign the petition! AsianWeek is truly a pathetic publication... What were the editors thinking? To publish an article entitled "Why I Hate Blacks" -- how blatantly offensive does something have to be before it crosses the line. The article (pdf) itself is as bad or worse than you think it's going to be, too.

Mariposa & 3rd

Here's the new light rail stop. It's actually pretty crazy to see stuff completed after being part of the community jobs program for years before grad school. There's been some news reports about dangerous gaps between the train and platform, but I didn't see any problems. The only thing off was that NextBus failed to detect our train when we were waiting, but the early arrival was a good surprise.

Nadia and I took the light rail to the Ramp

this past Sunday. A perfect way to enjoy some sun after a number of rainy days.

3rd St Light Rail

is finally up and running. It's free on weekends for a while longer.
