    Looks like he’s reached his boiling point.
    Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
    Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on (…)

    New threat to skilled U.S. workers
    Froma Harrop / Syndicated columnist Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - The master plan, it seems, is to move perhaps 40 million high-skill American jobs to other countries. U.S. workers have not been consulted.
    Princeton economist Alan Blinder predicts that these choice jobs could be lost in a mere decade or two. We speak of computer programming, bookkeeping, graphic design and other careers once thought firmly planted in American soil. For perspective, 40 (…)

    “The Press is Free, but for Whom? - Oswald Spengler
    When I was in high school back in the early 50s, I delivered the Baltimore Evening Sun newspaper to homes in my South Baltimore neighborhood. This was the afternoon edition of the Baltimore Morning Sun, a paper that traced its history back to 1837. Over the years, the Sun has gone through a few sea changes. In 1986, it was sold by the Gary Black Sr. Family to the Times Mirror Co., which was later acquired by the Tribune Co. Now, in an (…)

    Yesterday, Gordon (he does that funny thing with his mouth like a frog) Brown, Britain’s Blair-in-waiting, got to meet that guy doing an illegal squat at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Naturally, the BBC made a big thing about it, speculating on its significance and timing.
    Frogface is interviewed during which he emphasises the "special values" shared between the two countries. Given the widespread anger and disenchantment that the average Brit feels for the Blair-Brown oligarchy and its (…)

    In the months leading up to President Bush’s ill-fated invasion of Iraq, I traveled around the world speaking to various international groups, including many parliamentary assemblies. I spoke about democracy and the need of any nation or group of nations espousing democracy as a standard to embrace the ideals and values of justice and due process in accordance with the rule of law. I spoke of international law, especially as it was manifested in the charter of the United (…)

    Voice of the White House April 12, 2007 TBR News.org – April 12, 2007
    “I have two subject to deal with today. The first is the completely disastrous military situation in Iraq and the second deals with deliberately poisoned food in the United States. In the first matter, it will soon be public that Bush is going to extend the tours of duty for troops to 15 months or, with some clever interpretation of the rules, to 20 months.
    In addition to these draconian measures, be advised that a (…)

    A former director of the FBI has attacked MI5 for its "long and painful history" in Northern Ireland.
    Louis Freeh told the Wall Street Journal that the spying agency’s operations in the province had been characterised by decades of "secrecy and non-transparency" and argued against a similar agency being established in the US.
    This year MI5 - officially known as the Security Service and to be locally based in Holywood - will take over the lead role in intelligence gathering about national (…)

    What would you say if a known terrorist was about to be freed on $350 thousand dollar bail? Would it anger you? Of course it would if this country truly believes in capturing and punishing terrorists. What would be your reaction if this was the last recorded message made by a pilot of a downed air plane, “We have an explosion aboard, we are descending immediately! ... We have fire on board! We are requesting immediate landing! We have a total (…)

    Both Pres. Bush and Congress will keep our troops in Iraq By Mary MacElveen April 10, 2007
    In this Countdown feed it is becoming evident that President Bush will get his way as it pertains to the handling of this war. I do believe as Keith Olbermann does that the senate Democrats “are beginning to blink” when it comes to setting up arbitrary timelines for our withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
    As you listen to this feed, Senator Carl Levin stated, “We are not going to jeopardize the (…)
