  • God’s Dupes

    PETE STARK, a California Democrat, appears to be the first congressman in U.S. history to acknowledge that he doesn’t believe in God. In a country in which 83% of the population thinks that the Bible is the literal or "inspired" word of the creator of the universe, this took political courage.
    Of course, one can imagine that Cicero’s handlers in the 1st century BC lost some sleep when he likened the traditional accounts of the Greco-Roman gods to the "dreams of madmen" and to the "insane (…)

  • Stuck in a Rut: Forced Occupation for Gain
    18 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Bush Administration and their Neocon pals just don’t "get it". They didn’t in 2001, and they don’t now.
    While post war occupation by us and other countries in the past has been relatively successful, a FORCED occupation is seldom a winning action.
    The Romans, who spread their culture and their armies to the far corners of the then known world, were eventually bounced out by angry "little guys" who were far less effectively armed but were much more dedicated in their fighting.

    “There was never a good war, or a bad peace.” - Ben Franklin
    Washington, DC - At 12:30 PM, on March 17, 2007, near the Lincoln Memorial, at Constitution Ave. and 23rd St., NW, peace advocates, in the tens of thousands assembled for a “March on the Pentagon.” A blustery wind was blowing in from the Potomac River, which parallels the area. Meanwhile, the Democrats are in almost full retreat to the Bush-Cheney Gang, with respect to the issue of continued funding for the Iraqi War. And, thanks (…)

  • Racist West IGNORES 4th anniversary of Iraq Invasion & 1 MILLION post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths

    The 4th anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq – 1 MILLION post-invasion excess deaths later - has been marked by very modest demonstrations around the world in Western countries e.g. 300 in Melbourne, Australia; 300 in Copenhagen, Denmark, 1,200 in Barcelona, the radical heart of Spain. Yet 4 years ago - 1 MILLION excess deaths ago - MILLIONS (150,000 in Melbourne, Australia) demonstrated around the world against the impending invasion.
    For a picture of the demonstration in Melbourne that (…)

    The file is labeled Injustice in America. I began it over two decades ago, and it has grown thicker with the passage of time. Within its folds are stories of the numerous wrongful convictions that occur far too frequently in a nation proclaiming to have the best legal system in the world.
    At first glance, the faces of the wrongfully convicted appear to be as unique as the individuals themselves. Yet they are starkly similar. They are almost always poor, usually (…)

    “I just look around and see people mowing their lawns on the same day we start to bomb Iraq and it drives me wild.” Mike Palecek
    Having read and thoroughly enjoyed three of Mike Palecek’s novels, I felt particularly fortunate that he agreed to engage in a cyber-interview with me. His irreverent satirization of the myriad of ills plaguing the United States is unparalleled amongst current authors of sociopolitical fiction. Palecek may hyperbolize, but his fertile (…)

    On March 17, a huge mass of people will gather at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., and march from there to the Pentagon for the cause of impeachment and peace. http://www.impeach07.org
    A handful of pro-war people, some volunteer and some probably paid to be there, will stage a counter-demonstration. This relatively tiny pro-death contingent will garner 50 percent of the media coverage if those on the side of peace do everything right. If a single demonstrator (…)

    Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate, is the king of crass, the maven of craven and the show pony of phony. He switches positions quicker than a porn star and is more slippery than an okra plate dipped in country butter. I never thought the religious right would be gullible enough to buy Romney’s eleventh hour conversion, but apparently he can buy theirs. According to an article in Sunday’s New York Times, the ultra-wealthy (…)
