In the classic movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, mainstream newspapers refuse to publish reports of idealistic Senator Jefferson Smith’s battle against Congressional corruption. Thus, it falls to an informal network of concerned citizens and newspaper boys to get out the truth. Today, fiction became reality as word came that a Minnesota newspaper, the Pioneer Press, has refused to publish an op-ed supportive of Coleen Rowley, Democratic candidate for the 2nd District.
Clearly, the (…)

The neo cons’ grand design lies in ruins. America’s political leadership will abandon Iraq and the neo-cons. An Iraq exit plan is now in the final stages. The only question is how rapidly the Americans will leave.
There isn’t a Republican drawing breath, war hawk John McCain included, who wants to campaign in 2008 on a diplomatic and military horror show produced and directed by a Republican White House and a GOP-controlled Congress. Among Republicans, (…)

If you truly believe in the pledge of allegiance, hand the GOP a defeat at the polls By Mary MacElveen November 6, 2006
Tomorrow’s elections will tell us whether or not our fellow Americans truly want a change or live as we have lived since Bush took office. If we are truly a freedom loving people our only moral choice at this point is to stop America from bleeding out.
I see America as if she were lying on a battlefield mortally wounded. Do we pass her by or act as a medic and (…)

Baltimore, MD - On Nov. 4, 2006, a colorful ceremony was held to mark the restoration and reopening of the 200-year-old Baltimore Basilica-America’s first Roman Catholic Cathedral. (1) It was designed by the architect, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the same man who designed the U.S. Capitol. There were speakers galore, music, an historical reenactment, and even a presentation by Fort McHenry’s “Regimental Guard,” accompanied by a sharply attired Fife and Drum Corps of the “U.S. Army Old Guard.” (…)

Agitprop Capital of the World (the USA) Exports Its Poison to Venezuela - by Stephen Lendman
Agitprop, electoral fraud and dirty tricks may not have been invented in the US, but they certainly were perfected in "the land of the free and home of the brave" that no longer is except in the mind’s eye of a diminishing number of diehards, true-believers and others still unaware of the real state of things in America. The clearest evidence was the theft of the last two presidential elections (…)

My fellow Amerikans:
Well, as we come down to the wire we must remember the lesson of 9/11 (just what IS that?).
Anyway, it is beginning to look like the slimey Democrats are going to prevail in the House races. I am sorry to hear this. This means that Commie b..ch Pelosi,who marches in parades with gays and hates our troops, will try to give me a bad time. Phooey!
Hey, gang!, I’m not that bad of a guy! I’ve got a nice wife and two daughters, like to clear brush at Crawford and have (…)

Will air raid drills be far behind if Bush and the GOP retain power? By Mary MacElveen November 5, 2006
I am going to ask this question based upon based upon this Times Online article: Nuclear steps put region on brink of most fearful era yet, exactly how has the Bush/GOP led government made the world safer?
This article cites “with the sudden rush by Arabs, Iranians and Turks to master nuclear technology and one day unlock the secrets to the atomic bomb.” They also have stated that it (…)

The Academic Fallacy

Michael D. Morrissey Nov. 5, 2006
Morgan Reynolds* begins his most recent article on the planes/no-planes issue (Did planes actually hit the WTC or were all the videos faked?) by referring specifically to Eric Salter’s article in the Journal of 9/11 Studies** and makes available the (second negative) review of his (Reynolds’) article by the journal’s editors.
This is a small step in the right direction, providing (…)

As our parting gift to Pataki, re-elect Alan Hevesi for NY State Comptroller
By Mary MacElveen
November 5, 2006
I want everyone living in New York State to think back to last winter especially if they heat their homes with oil. As the tank gage inched lower, your anxiety of how you were going to pay for another delivery sky rocketed. I know mine did. You would have thought that Governor George Pataki could have demanded assistance on behalf of all of us for some relief from his (…)

As a former Republican, I would never support Peter King and Joe Lieberman By Mary MacElveen November 4, 2006
Every morning, I check the stats on my blog to see which articles are resonating with my readers it helps me focus on what issues are important and issues that are not. As I checked the stats this morning, my jaw dropped as I saw that my piece “February 15th, 2003: Little did we know” was read by 444 people. You may ask why this surprises me. I have written for sites such as (…)
