Life’s 3 Necessities: Food, Beer, and Art
I recently visited Wes in New York City a few weeks ago where happenstance brought us to a 14th floor studio loft on the Lower West Side. The entrance fee was your choice of a donation or food and alcohol. So we walked down the block to a gas station and each armed ourselves with a six-pack… »
World’s Most Wanted to New Age Guru
Most MIFG readers have probably never heard of Radovan Karadzic and almost all will likely forget about him after reading this post. But this Serbian war criminal from the Yugoslav break-up in the early 90’s holds a special place in my memory.

Torture: Old School vs. New School
Der Spiegel discusses a new book by ancient history professor Martin Zimmerman that explores the torture tactics utilized by some of the most cruel leaders in history to keep the population obedient.
Many of the barbaric acts described were designed to gruesomely kill the victim, something the Bush administration’s torture tactics avoided.
But Cheney was only off by a couple… »
