    10 April 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Lisa Hoffman The votes of at least 1 in 4 U.S. soldiers and overseas voters in last fall’s election never were counted. That’s the conclusion of a recent report by the National Defense Committee, a private, pro-military organization that surveyed local election offices across the country about the number of absentee votes cast and counted in the Nov. 3 election.
    In all, more than 30,000 of the 131,000 absentee ballots sent by troops and expatriates to 760 local elections offices (…)

    • One-third of our science teachers and one-half of our math teachers did not major in those subjects. (Quoted on The West Wing, but you can trust it - their researchers are legendary.)

    United Vegetative States Of America Anwaar Hussain April 6, 2005 After having lived for 15 years in a persistent vegetative state, Terri Schindler Schiavo crossed over from here to the hereafter on the last day of March. With her blood scent up in the air, the feral American media went berserk in the last two weeks of Schiavo’s life. Using this so-called freest press in the world, the American public was led on a leash by the right-wing activists with a not-so-subtle help from the (…)

    Boos And Catcalls Greet Bush At St. Peter’s Der Spiegel April 08, 2005 Rome: It was a historic moment: George W. Bush was the first president of the U.S. to participate in burying a Pope - despite his controversy with the Pontiff over the Iraq War. When his image flashed on a huge outdooor TV screen, the multitude gathered for the funeral of Pope John Paul II had a pointedly unpleasant message to communicate to the U.S. president. Loud booing was heard, when on a large television (…)

    Of Intelligence Failure And Trained Apes Brig Gen Shahedul Anam Khan ndc, psc (Retd) April 07, 2005 It is said that truth is the first casualty in war. The report of the "Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States regarding WMD" has established that truth is a casualty long before a war is embarked upon.
    The two points that Donald Rumsfeld stressed upon vigorously many times when it came to the question of Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction was that, "lack of (…)

    White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says President Bush was "pleased" with the latest investigation that blames CIA analysts for the false information that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
    That’s the reason Bush invaded Iraq, remember? Once again it’s those low-level bureaucrats who took us into war. And once again a panel of "don’t rock the boat" establishment figures has let the commander in chief off the hook.
    I asked McClellan if the president was upset (…)

    Let’s face the facts. The game is over and we — the "reality-based community," the believers in genuine democracy and law, the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the brutal chaos of existence into something higher, richer and imbued with meaning — have lost. The better world we thought had been won out of the blood and horror of history — a realm of enlightenment that (…)

    Note: This article first appeared as a post written by myself at Free Republic in late 2000. I was surprised to learn that it was copied re-posted at dozens of sites around the world. So, it seems only fitting that the article should re-appear here on my own web site. In recent months, I have posted a series of article on the deplorable and quite frankly hopeless financial situation the government of the United States is presently in due to (…)

    The ugly face of fascism appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday.
    It appeared twice: With Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and again with FBI Director Robert Mueller as both demanded Congress not only reauthorize the rights-robbing USA Patriot Act but expand the ability of the federal government’s goose-stepping storm troopers to invade the privacy of Americans and ignore the protections of the Constitution.
