This is an exterior view of my current favorite barge for sale, the Canan Nan Gaidheal. I have no idea what the name means but she sure is pretty.

Just in case you were thinking that living on a barge would be cramped and uncomfortable here is a picture of a kitchen on the unfortunately named BM1.

This is a Dutch Tjalk with it's mast up. Conceivably we could sail to England across the channel or down into the Mediterranean with this one.

Why we need to live on a barge in Europe

From the ACLU

"A document released for the first time today by the American Civil Liberties Union suggests that President Bush issued an Executive Order authorizing the use of inhumane interrogation methods against detainees in Iraq."


From Salon
"Seen the other way, more than a third of Americans think speaking out against government policy right now should be banned, presumably by government."
