Yahweh - U2

When Arcade Fire did their warmup concerts for the current tour, little tracts that simply read "DESIRE OR FEAR?" were left on the seats. This visual meditation on U2's "Yahweh" asks more or less the same question, with help from Scripture and artistic depictions of Jesus.

Losers Lose

A telling quote from The Politico, in a report on President Bush's victory over pro-surrender Democrats in Congress:

Some activists had privately feared that Democratic leaders were losing their resolve to stage a protracted fight with the White House over wartime funding. Pelosi had announced earlier that the House would not leave for the Memorial Day recess without a new funding bill, a signal to some of a looming defeat.

"When they put out that deadline, people realized that we were going to lose," said an aide to an anti-war lawmaker. "Everything after that seemed like posturing."

This gives away the game, doesn't it? The "antiwar" people understand what it means to set a deadline--and they seek to do so because they want America to lose.

Chinese Investors Crunching Numbers Are Glad to See 8s

STOCK ANTHEM

Lyrics to a song meant to be sung to the tune of China's national anthem, "The March of the Volunteers," are circulating on the Internet.

"The Song of the Stock Market"
Author unknown

Arise
Ye who haven't got stock accounts!
Invest all your money in the bull market;
The Chinese people have reached the most crazy moment,
Everyone with enthusiasm shouts the shout of buying.
"Arise, Arise, Arise!"

Our millions of people are of one mind, cherishing the dream of overnight wealth.
March on! March on! March on!

Arise,
Ye who do not want to be poor,
To build our Great Wall of stock with our blood money
The Chinese people are experiencing the most crazy market,
Everyone with jealousy shouts the crazy shout.

March on! March on! March on!
United we buy, without considering the risk of being trapped.
March on! March on! March on!
