America's Greediest: The 2013 Top Ten.

Many economists say that the inequality that results from this greed costs even the rich, because it reduces the total economy.

Not that it matters ethically. Hurting the poor couldn't be justified by enriching the rich.

The European Commission objects to UK plans to subsidize nuclear power plants.

Obama's record on global heating: with few exceptions, he supports it.

Ramzi bin al-Shibh, on trial in Guantanamo, keeps trying to tell the judge that guards make noise to keep him from sleeping.

This is a military kangaroo court rather than a proper trial. Is that supposed to make sleep deprivation of the defendant ok?

Nelson Mandela's funeral has finished, after serving to illustrate the political issues of today's South Africa and how the US helped the apartheid state to capture him.

I admire Mandela's fight for freedom, and his personal courage, as much as before, and I reject the idea that he'd have to be perfect to deserve our admiration.

However, I am disappointed with the fuss that people make about his death. Why fetishize a corpse that used to be the body of a great person? A dead body is not a person anymore. It's not Mandela's corpse that deserves our admiration, but rather his life.
