US Radiation In Iraq
US Radiation In Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki Bombs There Are No Words – Four Million Pounds of Radioactive Uranium Dust (RUD) on the ground in Iraq. On purpose.
Energy and Climate Change
Did anyone else see Bush speaking at the G8 on climate change? He just kept repeating that we’re doing a lot, we’re spending millions on research, it’s very complicated, we’re spending money on research. Maybe when Florida’s under water, maybe when the new plague is released from polar ice, maybe when …. it’s too late. Meanwhile, they simply edit and delete the results of the research if such disagrees with their ideology – you know, a bit like the doctored…
Criminal Source and Accountability
Cozy with the Bush administration, Judith Miller may go to jail to protect their leakers (Rove and whoever is intended eventually to take the fall for his action – wherever will they find another Ollie North?). Normally I would be on the side of journalists to protect their anonymous sources, but in this case it is obstruction of justice to do so.

President Bush has yet to answer any of these questions about the Downing Street Memo,…

Heil Hitler. — Doris Colmes, “Morphing the Gestapo” – Read the…
Take action on Supreme Court Nomination
Time to put the pressure on! Now that we’ve lost an important moderate swing vote in Sandra Day O’Connor, we have to make sure that a right-wing ideologue doesn’t take her place. A meaningful candidate, qualified for the job and acceptable to both sides of the aisle would go a long way toward protecting our liberty, rights, environment, choices, and all the rest while protecting us against the ongoing dismantlement of our representative democracy. Surely we deserve someone who will…
