I have heard an unconfirmed rumour that Our Dear Leader will be sharing thoughts inspired by Naomi Klein this coming weekend.

It is alleged that he will not wear a gay stripey jumper to share this message.

The humanity of Our Mark

On 16 February 2006, Australian public broadcaster SBS current affairs program DATELINE telecast a segment featuring 60 new photos of the torture inflicted on prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

These photos were secured by court order, but the photos had not, at that time, been shown in the media anywhere in the United States.

Our Mark immediately saw the need for access to both Web-downloadable versions and BitTorrent file-sharing network versions of the broadcast. He sprang into action and made both the images and the show itself available on his VRML website.

His initiative was responsible for the dissemination of this information into the US.
