Though my degrees are in government and international relations, I hadn’t been part of the political arena in an activist way since "The Sixties" — roughly the Civil Rights Movement late-’50s through the anti-Vietnam War mid-’70s. Instead, after years of college teaching, I found myself more engaged in cultural work as a playwright, poet and newspaper reporter, and, for nearly two decades, as a theater critic.
When 9/11 arrived, something snapped open in me, as it did for many Americans. (…)

Bush And Cheney Should Resign
30 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
Bush And Cheney Should Resign Andre M. Hernandez June 29, 2005 Even the people who supported this corrupt administration have to admit that this has gone too far. The Downing Street Memos and the shocking revelations that have come out during the Haliburton Reconstruction Hearings have gone beyond the smoking gun needed to overhaul a system that has no fail safes to protect the American peoples interests. Bush and Cheney are two of the most corrupt leaders of this or any other nation in (…)

Turd Blossom’s 9/11 stink bomb takes out dazed neoliberals, misses everything and everyone else
29 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsJune 29, 2005-In a June 22 speech to the New York State Conservative Party, White House Propaganda Minister Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove attacked what he defines as "liberals" for responding timidly to 9/11, while lauding what he calls "conservatives" for immediately going to war ("brandishing steel").
"Conservatives," Rove said, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savagery of the attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and (…) -

George W. Bush - Enough is enough
29 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
5 commentsEnough is enough. Political correctness is no longer an option when discussing George W. Bush or the members of his administration. They are very simply lying bastards who have done and continue to do irreversible harm to the world.
In tonight’s speech, Bush managed to use the word “terror” or “terrorist” 31 times during the first 25 minutes.. He referenced 9/11 6 times. He invoked the name of Osama bin Laden 3 times.
By once again connecting the PNAC plan to invade Iraq with the events (…) -
BUSH WAS WARNED IN 2004 NOT TO "STAY THE COURSE"
29 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
By Grace Reid
We found the smoking bullet in the smoking gun of the Downing Street Memos, that being the massive pre-war bombing campaign intended to provoke Saddam into war. Now here is the “massive intelligence failure." Bush and Rumsfeld had the intelligence and it came from the Pentagon. But they failed to read it, and they failed to understand it. George Bush himself is the “massive intelligence failure.”
This following is one you can bank on. It is the Pentagon’s own Defence (…) -

Troops ’Prespond’ to President’s Speech — "We Need Honest Answers, Not Pep Rallies"
29 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentTonight at Fort Bragg, in front of a backdrop of American service members, President Bush will tell the nation that victory is at hand, as long as we stay the course. Add a banner praising a job well-done and an aircraft carrier, and this all begins to seem eerily familiar.
But the men and women of the American military have had enough of what’s familiar from this administration. For us there is no alternative but to serve when called, as we have in Iraq for the past two years.

Embassies For Sale. Want To Become Bush’s Next Ambassador?
28 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
Embassies For Sale Want To Become Bush’s Next Ambassador? Georg Mascolo June 27, 2005 Want to become a US ambassador? It’s not as hard as you may think. Just donate a couple of hundred thousand to President George W. Bush’s campaign coffers and pick your city. The president’s new cadre of diplomats tend to be generous campaign donors, including the wealthy Ohio ball-bearing manufacture who is expected to run the US Embassy in Berlin.
It’s possible that David Wilkins, 58, is just a tad (…) -
Karl Rove Can’t Lie His Way Out
28 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsKarl Rove Can’t Lie His Way Out Bill Gallagher June 28, 2005 Detroit - Cynicism is the soul of George W. Bush’s presidency and Karl Rove, the man he calls his "brain," speaks out loud the thoughts lurking in the president’s ruthless but muddled mind. Rove is the most vile, despicable, duplicitous, power-addicted, war-mongering, lying neo-fascist in the administration, save Dick Cheney and the man who lets them run the government for him. Rove’s cynicism is a perfect reflection of Bush’s (…)
