    Haditha.
    The United States Marine Corps was already on it’s last legs as an elite fighting force, our reputation sullied by the dishonorable and sometimes criminal actions perpetrated by bottom of the barrel Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers in Iraq. Now this. We are now observing the death throes of the oldest fighting force in America.
    We had a good run, from November 10, 1775 to 2006. These dates may now (…)

    by William Fisher Amid the ever-escalating rhetoric between the United States and Venezuela, the president of the oil-rich Latin American country, Hugo Chavez, has been busily scoring points with low-income American consumers. Under a program sometimes dubbed petro-diplomacy, Citgo, Venezuela’s wholly-owned gas and oil subsidiary, has been providing discounts of up to 60 per cent on heating oil to poor communities in the U.S. The program is currently operating in Maine, Massachusetts, (…)

    (Based on an old Civil War Poem,from the Confederate side) In Fallujah, where we fell, there nothing grows. Between the ruins,row on row a marked disgrace. And in the sky the vultures,squawking,darkly fly, scarce heard amid the dust below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived and thrived, saw sunrise glow, loved,embraced, and now we lie in Fallujah,where we fell. We took the quarrel to the foe! to them from ghostly hands we threw the curse of pure defeat,yes,that we cried... And (…)

    by Wayne Besen
    The Bush administration is out of gas and nobody can afford it, so the President is priming the pump with the same anti-gay fuel that always runs the GOP’s engine: Same-sex marriage. But will the parlor trick work again for an administration clunking by on fumes?
    According to the conservative magazine, The Weekly Standard, Bush will hold a press conference in the Rose Garden on June 5 to reaffirm his support for a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting gay people from (…)

    Dear A.N.S.W.E.R. friend,

  • A Progressive Top Five

    By Jabari Asim
    WASHINGTON — If "American Idol" didn’t completely satisfy your appetite for gimmickry, you might consider turning to National Review. A recent issue offers its handy list of the top 50 conservative rock songs of all time.
    The list is intended to be provocative because rock is often considered a focal point of progressive sentiments. What I found far more striking, however, was the relative whiteness of the artists. Exactly when did rock ’n’ roll, once the province of Fats (…)

  • The President Who Wants to Be King
    31 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The American democracy that was once exemplary to the world is now under siege by a power-hungry president with an insatiable lust for global dominance. For more than five years, George W. Bush has continuously violated the law of the land by ignoring the Constitution, by rewriting laws passed by Congress with his signing statements, and by issuing more than 200 executive orders as new directives for fine-tuning the government to suit his policies. The United States is now facing a regime (…)

    (with profound apologies to Agatha Christie. No offense to Native Americans OR East Indians)
    Ten little Indians, standing in a line
    Delay is indicted and then there are nine.
    Nine little Indians having a debate
    McClellan gives up his job and then there are eight.
    Eight little Indians talkin’ ’bout Heaven
    Santorum flips his lid, and then there are seven.
    Seven little Indians, nothing can they fix
    Abramoff rats out his pals and then there are six.
