    Miers Led Law Firm Repeatedly Forced to Pay Damages For Defrauding Investors
    In case anyone thought Harriet Miers wasn’t a corporate-shill-in-White-House-clothing, take a gander at how Miers did her best Ken Lay impression while heading a major Texas corporate law firm. That’s right, according to the 5/1/00 newsletter Class Action Reporter, Miers headed Locke, Liddell & Sapp at the time the (…)

    We still have 139,000 soldiers in Iraq today.
    Almost 2,000 Americans have died there. For what?
    Now we have the hurricanes to pay for. One way our government pays (…)

    As a person that is against the war in Iraq, I must say that I am disappointed with that anti war protest that took place this past weekend in Washington, D.C. In my opinion it failed in its objective for several reasons.
    As I viewed the front page of Truthout.org, they have featured on it a video feed of a woman who is bare breasted who marched with several other women also not wearing tops stating how they appeared was more natural than the killings that are taking (…)

    by Robert Fisk
    A pulsating, minute-long roar of sound brought President George W Bush’s crusade against "terrorism" to Baghdad. There was a thrashing of tracer on the horizon from the Baghdad air defences and then a series of tremendous vibrations that had the ground shaking under us, the walls moving, the sound waves clapping (…)

    You would think that with all the troubles surrounding George W. Bush and the Republican leadership in Congress ­ from the life-costing bungling of Hurricane responses to the deepening quagmire in Iraq to the front page stories of corruption, self-dealing and national security leaks ­ you would think th Democrats would be in the ascendancy.
    Not so. The polls are plummeting for George W. Bush on a whole variety of questions, including the key approval rating being at a (…)

    Away to prison for three years goes Lynndie England, her pleas for mercy ignored by the military judge in Fort Hood, Texas. So who are the penalized thus far to indicate America’s revulsion over the systematic use of torture by its own forces? It tots up to a handful of rednecks.
