http://good.is/ In 2003 Donald Rumsfeld estimated a war with Iraq would cost $60 billion. Five years later, the cost of Iraq war operations is over 10 times that figure. So what's behind the ballooning dollar signs? Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilme's exhaustedly researched book, "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict," breaks down the price tag, from current debts to the unseen costs we'll pay for years to come.

Full remarks given in Charleston, WV on March 20, 2008.

An astonishing pas de deux from Lloyd Newson's THE COST OF LIVING (2003), performed by DV8 Physical Theater. When the body is not more linked to our mind and seems to be an useless weight to manage, art provides with an immense flash of purity.

The War in Iraq costs $720 Million a day. That's $500,000 a minute. That's $8333 a second. Find out more here: http://www.afsc.org/cost/facts-and-figures.htm#calc http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/09/23/4049/ http://www.antiwar.com/casualties/ "I think people are becoming more aware of these guns or butter questions," said Gary Gillespie, "But when you talk about $720 million a day, even people who work on this issue are shocked by the number and shocked by what could have been done with that money. War has no return — you're not producing a product."

This is NOT an anti-military video. The job of our military is to do everything that is asked of them, and they have, no questions asked. The job of our government officials is to use the military wisely for our safety and protection. And it is the job of us, the citizens, to always question and scrutinize the decisions of our leaders. Anyone who feels it is okay for a government to lie to its people or it is wrong for the people to question their government, does not understand or value democracy. I have had friends and family who volunteered to serve in each of the last three wars. I am the proud son of a Marine who volunteered to serve in Vietnam. One of my best friends from high school is currently on tour in Iraq, and a member of my extended family just returned. My respect for all of them is immeasurable. I am not some "anti-war liberal hippie" who thinks all war is wrong. Our military serves a vital purpose and there are wars that need to be fought. This one however is a mistake. This war is obviously not about 9-11 or terrorists because Iraq had nothing to do with either of those. This war is obviously not about removing WMDs from hostile leaders because we KNOW of many who actually have them yet we don't invade their countries. And this war is obviously not about freeing people from repressive leaders since again, there are many many more of those who we apparently have no intention of overthrowing by force. If you think THIS war is justified, fine, that is your opinion and this is a free country. But calling a person unpatriotic for questioning their government's motives and tactics shows you don't value the freedoms and responsibilities that have made our nation great. This war is estimated to cost 2.4 trillion dollars. How could the resources wasted on this war have been better used? Post your video response.

The Most Important Video You Should Watch BEFORE YOU VOTE on November 4th 2008. Send this Video to ALL you love and care about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnSS0dEv-RQ Sarah Palin's Greatest Hits and Moments from the 2008 Presidential Campaign. The Number 1 Reason why John McCain Can NOT Win This Election. Sarah Palin. America has too long celebrated mediocrity and made it seem desirable to have an Average JOE in the White House. Well we tried that experiment in 2000 and elected an intellectual lightweight George W. Bush. The country felt it was more important to have someone we could relate to and have a beer with than someone who is smarter than us and actually qualified. This is probably the result of American narcissism, hoping that if any idiot can be President, well then maybe I can to! Well that experiment failed miserably and its time to give the job to someone who is smart, bright, and yes, reads. I know it may be boring to a lot of people and scary to some, but once again we need one of those people to clean up the mess of the dumb asses. So on November 4th, if you love this country and dont want to see it continue to sink deeper into idiocracy, then please vote for higher standards. Vote for intellectual superiority. Vote for mere competence. Vote for Barack Obama.

One of the unanswered questions after John McCain's stunning loss to Barack Obama Tuesday night remains whether his decision to appoint an unknown, relatively inexperienced, obscure state governor as his running mate contributed to his downfall. Speaking to reporters in Arizona, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she was "sorry" if she cost John McCain any votes, and she demurred when asked whether she plans to run for president in four years. Also said in this video: "Right now I cannot even imagine running for national office in 2012." This video is from MSNBC's News Live, broadcast November 5, 2008.

I found this great digital whiteboard somebody designed, for illustration purposes which uses the mini IR Camera in every WiiMote and some software, plus you need to build a small IR pointer from an old pen. I built mine simply by wiring up an IR LED with resistor (about 80ohms), a small switch, and a 2xAA battery pack all stuffed into an old pen. All credit goes to Johnny Chung Lee of Carnegie Mellon HCI institute for this system. I just built an IR pointer and used his software and set up the hardware. See http://johnnylee.net for the full lowdown. P.S. Blame Windows Movie Maker for the glitch in titling about 43 seconds into the vid - it showed just fine in preview!
