    Worth the Sacrifice?
    By Ralph NADER
    On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Bush’s illegal war of aggression in Iraq, the Fabricator-in-Chief made a speech at the Pentagon, whose muzzled army chiefs had opposed his costly, ruinous adventure from the start for strategic, tactical and logistical reasons.
    As benefits the dictatorial monarch of yesteryear, evicted by America’s first patriots, this modern-day King George blistered (…)

  • In any age, a prophet draws wrath
    30 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    "The Almighty God himself is not the only, not the, not the God just standing out saying through Hosea, ’I love you, Israel.’ He’s also the God that stands up before the nations and said: ’Be still and know that I’m God, that if you don’t obey me I will break the backbone of your power, and slap you out of the orbits of your international and national relationships.’"
    Those words sound like something by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, Sen. Barack (…)

    Enough already. I can hardly stand to read the relentless insipid back and forth about Barak Obama’s recent speech on race. Somebody writes a clever bit of cliched rhetoric for him and the Right can’t quit hosing it while at the same time the Left can’t quit drooling over it. What a slippery mess. I keep waiting for some one, somewhere, PLEASE, to point out the giant pimple on Barak Obama’s rhetorical nose. But no one seems to get it. No one seems to want to (…)

  • Alan Greenspan at the Feds : A Disaster for America
    29 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Alan Greenspan had a ‘calming’ influence...on Wall Street!” - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), a wannabe President of the U.S.
    How did Alan Greenspan ever get appointed to the chair of the prestigious Federal Reserve? This is the same guy who told a federal regulator, in 1984, not to worry about the Saving & Loan Industry. This was just before “15 of the 17 thrifts,” he said were sound, went under. That fiasco cost the taxpayers a whopping “$3 billion in losses.” Now, Greenspan’s shaky (…)

  • Mumia Abu-Jamal’s death sentence tossed out
    27 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    A federal appeals court on Thursday said former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal cannot be executed for murdering a Philadelphia police officer without a new penalty hearing.
    The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Abu-Jamal’s conviction should stand, but that he should get a new sentencing hearing because of flawed jury instructions.
    If prosecutors don’t want to give him a new death penalty hearing, Abu-Jamal would be sentenced automatically to life in prison.
    Abu-Jamal, 53, once a (…)

    Are We Really That Ill?
    By CHRISTOPHER LANE | March 26, 2008
    CHICAGO - America has reached a point where almost half its population is described as being in some way mentally ill, and nearly a quarter of its citizens - 67.5 million - have taken antidepressants. These statistics have sparked a widespread, sometimes rancorous debate about whether people are taking far more medication than is needed for problems that may not even be mental disorders. Studies indicate (…)

  • Neocon Jonah Goldberg Praises David Mamet
    26 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “All mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” - Tom Paine
    On March 11, 2008, a rant from David Mamet appeared in the “Village Voice.” It was entitled: “Why I am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead’ Liberal.” In it, he confesses that he now embraces the “Free Market” theology and that the late economist, Milton Friedman, is one of his heroes. (1) Mamet is a playwright, who prides himself for his writing on “politics.” His article, however, shows he’s not really much of a political (…)
