  so i have started reading christopher hitchen’s book- and it isn’t what you think. i mean, i suppose it is to some degree, but it is not a ‘bash religion and god’ kind of book. i have actually been quite delighted to actually read something that 1) hasn’t been dumbed down; 2) isn’t [...]

  Last month in spite of an international outcry, Bush’s home state of Texas carried out its 400th execution since the death penalty was reinstated, in 1976. For this auspicious “milestone” the European Union chose to take a stand for international human rights. All 27 E.U. member states, plus more than a dozen other [...]

  If Republicans think they’ve had a few rough years…wait until 2008. Things look bad because of the public disenchantment with the GOP that reared its ugly head with the 2006 elections. And now it has only worsened. A recent poll found that 50% of Americans now identify themselves as Democrats, compared with [...]

  It seems the GOP Tricksters (strategists…crooks) want to reshape the electoral geography of California in their party’s favor. According to the Los Angeles Times they plan to begin raising money (this week) for another one of their “special” initiatives…hoping it will help a Republican win in 2008. Not if I can help

  Oh dear oh dear oh dear… Now Larry Craig is looking into restoring his glorious Senate career, hoping to slime his way out of the potty-naughty he was headed into, and these estimable people on his right are attempting to guard that august legislative and deliberative body from his presence. I am sure that Larry conducted [...]

  The Senator from Nebraska plans to retire and will not be a Republican contender for the 2008 presidential nomination next year. He has been a stalwart critic of the Iraq War. He’s 60…and a Vietnam Veteran. He had been considering a bid for the White House…but has decided not to go [...]

  my first thought was- they need to throw this out immediately. the test was inherently flawed- and here’s why: “Participants were college students whose politics ranged from “very liberal” to “very conservative.” They were instructed to tap a keyboard when an M appeared on a computer monitor and to

  i am rabidly anti-religion of any stripe. I have pissed off any number of folks with my stance because what i generally feel for folks who buy into religion is- contempt. There is no place for religion anywhere- period. You can make a case for spirituality for sure and just because i [...]

  My theme this month is about hope; it may well be my life's theme. I know how fragile it is, how in one quick moment all hope is gone, and the slow climb one takes back to hope. Some of you know my story,so for the benefit of our new writers and readers, I lost my [...]

  just a quickie- i saw these articles and found them relevent. “Like any generation, we prosper on the sacrifice of those who came before us. But unlike most generations, we balk at renewing those investments and sacrifices on behalf of those who will come after us. Time after time, we take the easy way, not the [...]

  Jena, population roughly 3000, isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s historically accurate for the Deep South to exhibit this type of racism; after all, they have been doing it for over 200 years. 12% of the population, or 310 individuals are African American in Jena. Jena is also the site of the infamous Juvenile Correctional Center [...]

  The phrase “Bush Lied” was superimposed over the names.

The LAT has a writeup about it, and I was perusing their email edition newspaper [...]
