  • America has become bilingual with Bush at the helm
    6 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Make all the jokes you want! Laugh to your heart’s content about Bush’s very limited vocabulary; or Americans’ loyalty to one spousal language and only fling encounters with a few Tex-Mex dialects! Although we may not yet recognize it, this nation of ours has ceased to be a monolingual butt of embarrassment. We are now, officially to the world, fully bilingual. And thanks to our tutor-in-chief we have become fluent, overnight, in this mystery second language – well, perhaps not a mystery (…)

    Stephen Leahy
    BROOKLIN, Canada, Apr 5 (IPS) - The severe seven-year drought in the Southwestern United States is just the beginning of a new and even drier climate for the region due to climate change, scientists say.
    The infamous "dust bowl" conditions of the 1930s will be the norm, with the possibility that the aridity will be unlike anything in the past, according to research published Thursday in Science — one day before the release of another key report by the Inter-Governmental (…)

    9 billion to General Motors for weapons research and development.
    8.9 billion for a general slush fund in case of "emergencies"

    A steady squeeze on Tehran
    By Amandeep Sandhu
    As the conflict over the British hostages held by Iran plays out, another conflict is taking place in the boardrooms of banks and oil companies. The United States is leading a quiet charge, focusing
    on the Iranian financial and energy sectors.
    While the US has had sanctions in place against Iran since the Iranian revolution in 1979, there is a new, pointed sanctioning aimed at starving Iran of capital. The US is waging a quiet campaign on (…)

    by TruthIsAll
    Dec.12, 2000 is a day that will live in infamy. Bush needed the help of five right-wing Republicans on the Supreme Court to stop the recount in Florida and enable him to steal the election. There has been an ongoing controversy regarding the 2004 election. State and national pre-election and exit polls pointed to a Kerry victory.
    Those who claim that Bush won fair and square are relentless in their attempts to thrash polling analyses which suggest that fraud occurred. Since (…)

    5 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Bracing for 2008 presidential election, US Democrats in opposition and the ruling Republicans have embroiled the American public in a political crisis between the executive and legislative powers over deadlines for combat operations in Iraq that could develop into a constitutional showdown, but for Arabs and Iraqis in particular it is merely playing electoral politics with Iraqi blood for oil because the Democratic Alternative for President George W.

    Alas!,when and if Bush is forced to give up the ghost and abandon it’s empirical Neocon goals in Iraq...when the weary troops head South to Kuwait having "won" (saving face), what horrors will befall this sad country?
    The Bush adminisration predicts, sadly,that there will be sectarian violence and civil war. Oil pipelines will be bombed, so will police stations and mosques!
    As if that wasn’t enough, bodies will begin showing up in the Tigris, tortured and beheaded!, government officials (…)

    WE GONNA HIT THE JACKPOT REAL SOON Why You Should Worry More About DU than Allergies This morning I flipped on The Tube to the weather channel to see what we’re having today. In the minute before the local weather, they had a commercial—natch! It was about a [locomotive] air conditioner that would get rid of practically all of the allergens in your house.
    "Most households," they said, "Have five times more allergens than the air outside."
    Yipes! We live in the good ol’ misty, (…)
