...viciousness of the military response hardened attitudes. "Damn this country!" muttered a student as he tied a wet towel around his face to ward off the tear gas. One distraught resident asked bitterly, "If the military is so brave, why don't they fight other countries--why do they attack the people?"

The American People's work really...
...recently when we stumbled upon a real gem, Resignation.com. Arianna Huffington, our favorite Greek-heiress-turned-pundit, has had her minions construct a site in tribute to that most dramatic of political statements--quitting. The site includes a history of notable leaders who have thrown in the towel, a list of publications which have called for the President to step down and an opportunity for people to issue their own call for Clinton's surrender...
