Notice how the only platform TBA is Bioshock2. Given the poor sell through of the PS3 Bioshock, could retailers be balking on ordering the PS3 sequel? Or perhaps they are just anticipating a delay with the PS3 version, possibly pushing it outside a fiscal 2009 release.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
