    FANTASY VS REALITY
    By Peter Fredson
    January 10, 2006
    I hold no grudges against fantasy. As a teen-ager I had a stack of paper-backs on science-fiction, many books on mythology and religion, and some of the most lurid horror magazines of the 1940’s, not to mention an equally large stack of magazines of the Far West, outlaws, gun-slingers, etc. When I went off to war my mother threw all that “junk” away, which I still mourn as many would now be exceedingly valuable and would provide many (…)

    I don’t understand. An hour after I saw the Times "scoop" on the Bush illegal wiretapping plan, I wrote that it was clearly illegal and unconstitutional.
    But as it now turns out, dozens of politicians, as well as the New York Times knew about the surveillance plan and did nothing.
    Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader in the House, and Senator Jay Rockefeller, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, a man known for some sensitivity to civil liberties infringements, and a (…)

    This month, cocaleros (coca farmers) champion Evo Morales was victorious in Bolivia’s presidential elections, with 51% of the vote. His triumph at the polls is a direct challenge to the US’s anti-narcotics campaign in the region, with Morales defending the production of the coca leaf - which, when refined, produces cocaine.
    Cocaine: the white man’s invention
    The coca leaf is traditionally chewed by the indigenous people of Bolivia to alleviate altitude sickness, a practice that predated (…)

    Dear Members of Congress:
    We are scholars of constitutional law and former government officials. We write in our individual capacities as citizens concerned by the Bush Administration’s National Security Agency domestic spying program, as reported in the New York Times, and in particular to respond to the Justice Department’s December 22, 2005 letter to the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees setting forth the administration’s defense of the (…)

    What do we make of the President boldly proclaiming that he has “spy powers?” Does he have X-ray vision too?
    When he and his cronies crawl up into Cheney’s bunker with the sign on the door “He-man Woman-haters Club. No Girls Allowed (except Condi),” do they synchronize their spy decoder rings and decide what new absurd folly to unleash on the world?
    Illegal invasion of Iraq, suspending writs of habeus corpus, secret CIA torture dungeons, or election rigging? Most people outgrow such (…)

    The President must have impaired memory , the result of one too many encounters with the cocaine dear old Dad shipped into the country. He doesn’t know Jack Abramoff ? He also didn’t know Ken Lay , despite writing letters to him adressed "Kenny Boy".
    Cocaine flashbacks are a bitch ,they say.
    The president also forgot that he served in the Texas Air National Guard in 1973. More recently he forgot that he told the American people that it was certain that Sadam Hussein posessed "Drones (…)

    President Nixon famously said that if the President does it, it’s legal. And he didn’t think that up on his own - that’s a way of thinking that has long had currency in America.
    Today there are over 150 Out of Iraq events like this one happening around the country. A dozen members of Congress are taking part. Numerous candidates for Congress, local elected officials, and national leaders of the peace movement are speaking. Large crowds are gathering. We’ll see what sort (…)

    President denies he knows big donor
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 01/08/06 — Jack Abramoff who according to several accounts including his own has collected more than $120,000 on behalf of George W. Bush and was once considered a ’pioneer’ for the Bush/Cheney election/re-election machine. Today, he’s persona-non-grata-at least at the White House.
