    We, as a country, seem to have little problem saving the wealthy from the clutches of poverty. We’ll bail out banks and insurance companies, mortgage funds. The formerly big three automakers will meet with the new administration this week to arrange a further multi-billion-dollar bailout.
    How can we say no? Hundreds of thousands of jobs are dependent on these industries. So I guess we must help them, but our society is so far out of economic whack. Most all of our (…)

  • McKinney Stronger in Unexpected Places
    7 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    ( Nov. 7, 2008, http://www.mdmorrissey.info/mckinney )
    Cynthia McKinney’s .1% of the vote came from some places that, for me at least, were unexpected. I would not have expected proportionately more Louisianans to vote for her than people in any other state, for example, and though California doesn’t surprise me I would not have thought Maine, Arkansas and West Virginia would come out ahead of New York and Massachusetts.
    This may be worth some cogitation. I voted for her mainly, but not (…)

    By David R. Hoffman
    Over twenty-five years ago, in January of 1983 to be precise, I wrote my first newspaper article, arguing for the creation of a federal holiday honoring America’s late civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Later that same year a reluctant Ronald Reagan—over the vociferous objections of North Carolina’s rabidly racist Senator Jesse Helms, and the “nay” vote of Arizona Congressman (later to become Arizona Senator) John McCain—signed a bill into law designating (…)

  • Hey, Prez-Elect Obama: Say “Thanks” to Alan Greenspan!

    “The secret for success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” - Benjamin Disraeli
    In ancient Greece, some of its celebrated playwrights, such as Aeschylus, used a device called the “Deus ex Machina,” in order to resolved a badly tangled plot. Usually, it represented some kind of divinity, whose intervention into the lives of the characters portrayed generally proved fortuitous. In the 2008 presidential election, the winner, Democratic Sen. Bararck Obama, (…)

    WE HAVE HOPE, BUT REAL CHANGE IN AMERICA REPRESENTS AN IMMENSE TASK
    John Chuckman
    Already in the press there have been stories of plans to dampen the public’s expectations of Obama. The expectations are undoubtedly beyond being satisfied by any human being.
    Obama’s bright face, a keen intelligence at work in every expression, represents the greatest hope for change in America since Franklin Roosevelt. Even Kennedy, with all his gifts, did not come close. After all, (…)

  • Waziristan : Militants, tribesmen call for change in US policy

    Source : "The Dawn"
    ISLAMABAD, Nov 5: Militants and tribesmen on Wednesday urged US president-elect Barack Obama on Wednesday to break with his country’s divisive anti-terror strategy, but many feared there would be little change.
    Some tribal leaders said they would give Mr Obama the benefit of the doubt for now. The Jamaatud Dawa, considered a “terrorist organisation” by the United States, said a change in direction could help heal rifts with the Muslim world.

    President elect Barack Obama has addressed supporters in Chicago after beating John McCain to become the next US president. Below is the speech.
    Obama:
    Hello, Chicago.
    If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
    It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in (…)

  • The next U.S. president must halt missile strikes on Pakistan
    5 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Islamabad—The next U.S. president must halt missile strikes on insurgent targets in northwest Pakistan or risk failure in its efforts to end militancy in the Muslim country, the prime minister warned Tuesday. Yousuf Raza Gilani said visiting U.S. Gen. David Petraeus “looked convinced” when he warned him the strikes were inflaming anti-American sentiment but that he got no guarantee the attacks would end.
    Gilani’s remarks in an interview with The Associated Press underscore how shaping a (…)
