    Press Silence On Impeachment Text of Radio BC Audio Commentary October 06, 2005 Listen Now -
    The corporate media in the United States can hardly claim to fill a journalistic role, anymore. The first duty of a real newsperson is to ask questions. But the corporate press can’t bring itself to ask even the most obvious questions, including on issues that are important to a high proportion of the public. When we refer to the corporate media, we’re also talking about the major polling (…)

    Trust Us: We’re Incompetent Fucks Posted By Eddie Tews October 09, 2005 It appears that George Bush was lying when he touted the ten terrorist plots broken up by the "international community" since September 11.
    But it’s often fun, when dealing with the Bush Administration’s lies, to play "What If He Were Telling The Truth?". So, what if Bush wasn’t lying?
    That means that the "international community" has broken up ten terrorist plots — while being unable to foil an increasing and now (…)

    A Canadian Haven For Black U.S. Babies Jane Armstrong October 01, 2005 The United States is exporting newborns by the hundreds and Canada is a preferred destination.
    Most of the infants are African American or biracial; their birth mothers want them to be raised outside the United States and believe Canada is a land of little racial strife.
    Although there are no officials figures, an estimated 500 African-American babies are adopted abroad each year. In the past 20 years, about 300 (…)

    The one thing — the only thing — that George Bush has ever done successfully is campaign. That boy sure loves to play dress-up. He’s in his element strutting around in various costumes, while smirking and blinking before carefully vetted audiences whose members sign loyalty pledges and are conditioned to cheer and wave their flags as he gives the same smoke-’em-out-and-kill-’em-all stump speech over and over. And over again.
    Bush loves to talk about his bold vision and to brag about the (…)

    I would love to support Hillary for President if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don’t think she can speak out against the occupation, because she supports it.
    I will not make the mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president again: As I won’t support a pro-war Republican.
    This country wants this occupation to end. The world wants the occupation to end. People in Iraq want this occupation to end.
