  • Wisconsin Towns Vote for Withdrawal
    6 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by John Nichols
    In November 2004, the village of Luxemburg, Wisconsin, voted to re-elect George W. Bush by a hefty margin of 701 to 431. Always a GOP stronghold, the community voted for other Republicans as well, even the challenger to popular Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, who was winning by a landslide statewide.
    There’s not much question that the majority of the 2,000 residents of this rural northeastern Wisconsin village of well-maintained homes, neat storefronts and large (…)

  • Little known Shakespeare: Bush speaks
    6 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    These passages, culled from Shakespeare, reveal the truth about our "noble" leader.
    "I have touched the lowest point of all my greatness, and from this full meridian of my glory haste now to my settling. I am falling like a gasped exhalation,and men hope to see me no more"
    "I see your pockets are full of dicontent,your hearts of sorrow,and your eyes of tears"
    "I observe my shakey reputation is at stake, and my undeserved fame is shrewdly gored"
    "The dragon wing of RIGHT espreads the (…)

  • Iraq’s US/UK Permanent Bases : Intentional Obfuscation
    6 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Sarah Meyer
    There is Pentagon and US governmental obfuscation surrounding United States permanent bases in Iraq. Whilst Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defence, continues to deny a permanent US presence there, the facts appear to contradict his statements.
    In February 2002, Zoltan Grossman wrote the following cogent perception entitled New US Bases: Side Effects or Causes of War? “Even if this administration pulls combat troops out of Iraq in the future, it intends to keep at least (…)

    Why has the story of that male prostitute posing as a white house reporter with 24/7 access to the white house never been fully investigated? The American mainstream media never really covered it and Congress refused to investigate this scandal. I have tried to find recent stories on this story online and it seems like it was just dropped. Bill Clinton was impeached for less but George W. Bush skated on this juicy tidbit. Let’s remedy this injustice.

    “We are all born mad. Some remain so.” - Samuel Beckett
    Major league baseball is as American as apple pie. For the first time in the history of the storied Cincinnati Reds’ franchise, a sitting president, George W. Bush, threw out the “ceremonial” opening day pitch, on April 3, 2006. Comedian Jay Leno said on the “Tonight” show that evening, that the presidential toss at the National League game against the Chicago Cubs, like Bush’s politics, went off to the “far right.” Instead of (…)

    MILOSEVIC’S DEATH: A POLITICAL ASSASSINATION BLAMED ON THE VICTIM
    By Sara Flounders Co-Director, International Action Center, NYC
    March 16, 2006—In the summer of 2004 I met with former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in Scheveningen prison when I was approved as a defense witness. Before I could get in, I had to pass four totally separate check points, unable to take in anything but papers. Each level of security was more rigid than the one before.
    No one who has met with (…)

  • Dishonest and Delusional or Criminal? On Impeaching the President
    5 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Although Americans stuck with the president through huge tax cuts for the rich, a destructive environmental policy, an economic policy that enriches corporations and lowers wages, and his attempts to dismantle Social Security, it took Hurricane Katrina before his ineptitude became an embarrassment.
    As Americans wake up to the reality of George W. Bush, his popularity plummets. Even stalwart conservatives are calling the president incompetent and out of touch.
    In the face of poor (…)

  • Impeachment Does NOT Mean Cheney Will be President
    5 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    That anyone would even begin to think that Cheney would come out of the impeachment process uncharged and unscathed is mistaken, sorely mistaken. That one would think to impeach Bush without Cheney, and Rumsfeld and the others, is short-sighted... maybe blind. We’d get Hastert as president, but we’re waiting at the door for him, too, to impeach him for his taking bribes. Even if Hastert were to become president, no Republican would be Speaker of the House because they have all lost their (…)
