    "We believe Ralph Nader is the best possible candidate to spearhead a Green and independent electoral insurgency in 2008 against the war in Iraq, global warming, and the corporate domination of health care, economics, environment, and every other public policy.
    We believe a Nader for President campaign in 2008 would have an historic impact by defining the policy debate, not only for the 2008 campaign, but also for the next generation.

    “Sen. Mikulski has violated her oath of office!” - Ms. Diane Wittner of the Chesapeake Citizens, a peace advocacy group. (1)
    You could see it coming a block away! I’m talking about the Democrats’ cynical gambit for capturing the White House in 2008! It goes like this: Let the Iraq War drag on and on, with our brave troops dying daily in combat, and/or sustaining serious injuries; but, don’t do anything to stop the funding for the conflict. Then, blame the horrific results of the war on (…)

    Every four years the country is swept up in the pomp and pageantry of presidential elections. And every four years loyal Americans flock to the voting booths to select the candidate of their choice. Elections, we are told, are the true expression of democratic government. But they aren’t.

  • US Officials See Waste in Billions Sent to Pakistan
    26 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The US has poured billions into Pakistan’s struggle against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. But some American officials are now saying that Washington got too little for its money. And that much of the funding may have been misappropriated. Dov Zakheim, who served as the Pentagon’s top financial officer until 2004 and helped set up the program in late 2001, said in a telephone interview that while he was at the department, the military carefully checked whether Pakistan carried out the operations (…)

    By James Nimmo
    During this winter solstice time in America some of you will consider again the birth of babies in unlikely places, such as a particular middle-eastern stable during the Roman era approximately 2,000 years ago. And while reading about the 2007 Sissy Awards at www.advocate.com I got to thinking about another unlikely birth place, a particular lesbian womb of the early 21st century. The animal stable birth is well publicized by the anecdotal writings of the Middle Eastern (…)
