News: Bikinis, Climate Change, Firouz, Lance Bass

Andy Towle April 6, 2007

The three big Bush stories of 2007–the decision to “surge” in Iraq, the scandalous treatment of wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys for tawdry political reasons–precisely illuminate the three qualities that make this Administration one of the worst in American history: arrogance (the surge), incompetence (Walter Reed) and cynicism (the U.S. Attorneys)….” (via americablog)

Firouzroad.jpg Openly gay Persian singer Firouz works out his struggle in “Warchild” and Arjan’s got a free download. Firouz: “My story isn’t an exception and not only about teenagers in some parts of the world where they die in senseless wars or lose their homes and family. Everybody has their own personal fights. The hardest battle is the one inside of yourself and in your own life…My songs describe moments and express feelings to help people find beauty in even the hardest situations.”

Rainbowroad.jpg RESEARCHERS: Climate change is not a future event. It is here now. “‘Five years ago, we said we could detect a regional impact of climate change,’ he continued. ‘Now, we have reviewed 29,000 data sets, and 90% of them show that changes happening worldwide are due to climate change.’ These changes include early flowering seasons, changes in agricultural productivity and changes in insect migrations, but also the intensity of heat waves and storms. Huq says it is impossible to say with certainty that climate change is the cause of any single hurricane, heat wave, flood or drought. ‘But, taken together, the increase in frequency and intensity of such events during the last decade of the 20th century provides strong evidence that climate change is already occurring and is no longer a problem of the future.'”

road.jpg The Army has suspended Sgt. Marcia Ramode, the recruiter who fired off a series of racist and homophobic emails to a potential recruit who had revealed to her that he was gay: “Douglas Smith, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Recruitment Command at Ft. Knox, Ky., said Ramode has been suspended from recruiting duties until the investigation is complete. Although he couldn’t comment on Ramode’s actions because of the investigation, Smith said recruiters are expected to behave professionally and that there is a protocol for handling situations when applicants reveal that they are gay. ‘If an applicant makes a statement that he or she is homosexual, the recruiter must inform the applicant in a professional manner that they are not eligible for enlistment,’ Smith said in a statement.”
