    Things are in the saddle And ride mankind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Like a rubber band pulled to its very limits before snapping, tensions regarding the "War on Terror", the Israeli issue, and the seemingly inevitable military conflict with Iran charged the atmosphere with electricity on Monday afternoon when President Amadinejad spoke at Columbia University. Not since the riots of ’68, which in part fomented the ideological foundations for Neoconservativism, has a University event caused (…)

    Monday, September 17, 2007- Did you see George all choked up? In his surreal TV talk on Thursday, he got all emotional over the killing by Al Qaeda of Sheik Abu Risha, the leader of the new Sunni alliance with the US against the insurgents in Anbar Province, (…)

    CHARMING FELLOWS
    By Peter Fredson September 17, 2007
    What did O.J. Simpson, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Daumer, and George W. Bush have in common? They were charming narcissist sociopaths. They were dead certain that they were above the law, and that they could do whatever they pleased without restraint. They were people that you might like to sit down to share a drink or joke with. They had nice smiles and could charm people into getting closer to them.
    They had no compunction about niceties (…)

    REASONABLE EXPLANATIONS
    By Peter Fredson
    September 13, 2007
    Yesterday, in Fort Pierce, Florida, a 16-year-old boy said he shot his parents. His explanation was simple: “because he always felt like a disappointment to them because he didn’t have a job, smoked marijuana and didn’t share the same "qualities or interests" as his father.”
    "So there’s nobody, now there’s nobody to be disappointed in me, try to make me lead ... their life," the lad said.
    General Petraeus recently (…)

    "Methinks thine aspiration resembles
    the lowly lamb among slavering wolves,destined for an early and inevitable grave".....Shakespeare
    Keep your chins up,your noses to the grindstone, your shoulders to the wheel and your hopes high. This is the advice of the pundits on American Sunday morning TV and also of the largest portion of Republican fat cat ideologues and war profiteers.
    Let’s face it, George Bush and his slimey cohorts, with patsies Patraeus and Crocker, have told their tale, (…)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    Saving a Palestinian partner, whom they have rejected until Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in mid-June, has become the most important mission preoccupying the U.S. Administration and the Israeli government, a mission which nonetheless Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is taking seriously, against all the odds, pursuing a “hope” that their preoccupation could yet be a window of opportunity to revive serious Palestinian – Israeli peace negotiations and break through (…)

    Jamming with Geppetto By David Glenn Cox
    Recently a Bush supporter asked me “So which is it? Is the President an idiot or a genius.” The idea being to paint the Presidents critic’s into a corner either he’s a genius and we were all wrong before or he’s an idiot and we are all wrong now. But the short answer is the President is neither he’s a psychopath.
    A psychopath is mentally ill but believes he is smarter than everyone else, (…)

    Bathroom Stalls or White House Halls By David Glenn Cox
    Tea and sympathy fell like rain from the CNN (Corporate News Network) anchors yesterday. Poor Senator Larry Craig was forced to resign amidst an undercover policeman’s accusations. Wait just a damn minute here, when was the last time you heard a policeman’s sworn testimony called an accusation? In a purely legalese definition it’s factually true but it gives the impression of an unproven event which is demonstrably false.
