Lieberman and the Activistnew
Joe Lieberman, a Democratic hawk for war in Iraq, keeps a crystal dove in his Hartford, Conn., office. This gave peace activist Christopher Allen-Doucot hope when he led a delegation to present Lieberman with their views. Allen-Doucot "unveiled his photographs of starving, bullet-riddled
Iraqi children, gathered from his repeated trips to
sanction-plagued Iraq, and Lieberman found himself face to face with the
consequences of the policies he so vocally supports." The senator's response? Sadness in private, silence in public, Dan Levine writes in the Hartford Advocate.

Shut the F--k up with the War, Alreadynew
"Nobody gives a shit what anti-war or pro-war writers think. Really.
So shut up. That goes double for poets. Shut the hell up, poets.
Everybody just shut up." First Rall, then Hitchens, now Neal Pollack lets loose on pre-war hand-wringing in The Stranger. "Do you really want to hear what any writer thinks about our
upcoming war with Iraq? I don't," Pollack says toward the beginning of his 2,500-word piece. Of all the writing spewed forth after Sept. 11, Pollack finds only two pieces that will stand the test of time: the Onion's first issue after the attack and William Langewiesche's book on unbuilding the World Trade Center.

Who Framed Brer Rabbit?new
"Song of the South" is one of Disney's most celebrated films. It's also one of Disney's most controversial. The film’s detractors say it presents an idealized vision of the Old South, a world where blacks joyfully work in the fields, spurred on to work not by the threat of the lash, but by the cheerful songs in their hearts. In the face of criticism, Disney refuses to release the film on video or re-release it at theaters. MetroBEAT's Chris Haire examines the controversy and how Disney got the story of Brer Rabbit all wrong.

Champion of the Second Amendmentnew
Hey, this is
America. If a hot
biker chick can't
show some skin
and provocatively
handle a couple of
firearms here,
where can she?
Well, if she's a
convicted
felon -- like
Colorado's Katica
Crippen, who sold a little speed to an undercover
cop back in the day -- it's a big no-no. The reason?
New federal efforts to aggressively enforce gun
laws -- even if the occasional babe who just wants to
be photographed stroking some cold steel gets
swept up in the dragnet, David Holthouse writes.
