  • Cindy Sheehan: “Bush’s Presidency Is Illegitimate!”
    31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Washington, D.C. - Cindy Sheehan is back in town! I’m sure that big bully in the White House, President George W. Bush, will be shaking in his cowboy boots when he hears that news. When Sheehan, the popular anti-Iraq War activist, showed up at Crawford, Texas, last summer, Bush refused to meet with her. He seemed cowed by her mere presence at a vigil (a/k/a “Camp Casey”) so close to his once-secluded ranch. Sheehan was then demanding a face-to-face meeting with the Spymaster Bush, whose (…)

    The Legacy of G. W. Bush 3
    By Peter Fredson January 31, 2006 Part Three: GEORGE W. BUSH: SAINT OR SINNER?
    G. W. Bush has a large base of Christian fundamentalists including many thousands of trained influential evangelists, parsons, ministers, priests, faith-healers, etc. who are expert in dealing with emotive issues, fantasy scenarios, and persistent indoctrination. They have an absolutist view of their ideology which allows them to show disdain for all other beliefs, dogma, practices (…)

    The news network that that only George Orwell and George W. Bush would describe as "fair and balanced" is back to their old tricks. Having pawned earlier tales from the script , remember "Saddam’s Bombmaker" and Joe Aziz , FOX is backing hawking "Saddam’s Secrets" a bok authored by former Vice Air Marshall of Saddam Hussein’s late air force - a man named Georges Sada.
    Did they tell you that General Sada was the former spokesmen for MI6 flunky Iyad Allawi ? Allawi’s Iraqi (…)

  • Corruption Scandals Cast Shadow on GOP Leadership Race
    31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Jonathan Weisman
    In eight concise paragraphs, two moderate and two conservative House Republicans put into writing last week what they say many of their colleagues quietly fear: the GOP’s plunging poll numbers, rising public support for a Congress controlled by Democrats and the increasing belief among voters that the Republican Party is corrupt.
    House Republicans will gather Thursday to elect a successor to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) as majority leader, and the perceptions of (…)

  • Spies, Lies and Wiretaps
    31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Editorial
    A bit over a week ago, President Bush and his men promised to provide the legal, constitutional and moral justifications for the sort of warrantless spying on Americans that has been illegal for nearly 30 years. Instead, we got the familiar mix of political spin, clumsy historical misinformation, contemptuous dismissals of civil liberties concerns, cynical attempts to paint dissents as anti-American and pro-terrorist, and a couple of big, dangerous lies.
    The first was that the (…)

  • Government by Giveaway
    31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Michael Parenti
    In December 2005, the reactionaries who are running the government and ruining the country decided to cut about $42 billion from the human services budget over the next few years. Most of the cuts will come out of the hides of the very poorest among us. The victims include persons afflicted with disabling diseases who already have trouble trying to live on a monthly federal pittance.
    But there is another side to this Scrooge story. There are others among us who are (…)

  • Gorilla Empire? A Global State of Disunion
    31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Tom Engelhardt
    This Tuesday, the presidential State of the Union Address rolls around yet again. Only four Januaries have passed since the President used a State of the Union Address to brand Iran, Iraq, and North Korea — the first two then bitter enemies, the third completely unrelated to either of them and on the other side of the planet — as a World-War-II-style "axis of evil." It was the first great State of Disunion deception of the Bush administration’s regal reign of error. Only (…)
