| Friday Mar 23, 2001 | In September of 2000, William Gibson traveled from Los Angeles to Vancouver in the back of a camera-equipped limousine, discussing his life, his writing, society, and the future. The result is No Maps for These Territories, which premiered at this year's Slamdance Film Festival. The movie is a must-see for any Gibson fan, so contact your local independent theater and pressure them into screening it. to Movies by kapital |

| Thursday Nov 30, 2000 | Samichlaus, brewed by the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland, was one of the world's best and most alcoholic beers. Only one batch was brewed each year, on December 6 (St. Nicholas' Day), and it was lagered for nearly a year before being ready to drink. In 1996, the Hürlimann brewery was purchased by a big corporate brewer and the beer was cancelled after that year's batch, sparking protests among beer lovers. Fortunately, the protests worked: Schloss Eggenberg Brewery in Austria acquired the rights to Samichlaus and secretly brewed a batch last year, using the original recipe and yeast. That batch is on sale now, so go buy a bottle today! to Beer by kapital |

| Friday Jun 30, 2000 | Everyone is familiar with Dr. Seuss' children's books, but not many know that during the early 40's he worked as a political cartoonist, focusing mainly on the Second World War. His cartoons from 1941 attacked America's isolationism and indecision about entering the war, while many of the later ones were the usual pleas to join the military, conserve resources, and buy war bonds. Mixed in with these are some interesting cartoons attacking American racism and discrimination, juxtaposed with the standard WWII portrayals of slant-eyed, bespectacled, buck-toothed Japs.

| R.U. Sirius has formed a new political party called The Revolution®, which he says "combines the best of the Libertarians and St.
Ralph". You can read a lengthy explanation of their
origins and philosophy, or a
summary of their platform, but I might vote for them
just becuase I like their slogan:
Victory Over Horseshit!

| I like the real Budweiser. For years they have been harrassed by the evil corporation that has stolen and ruined their good name, but luckily sometimes the good guys win (or at least break even).

| U.S. news services often forget that some parts of the world even exist. This is the inspiration behind political cartoonist and radio show host Ted Rall's Stan Watch. which combines links to news about countries ending in "-stan" with some of Ted's personal commentary ("Kyrgyzstan has the worst friggin' food in the Stans"). As he puts it, "Why? Because real people actually live there." to Media by kapital |
