The legislation would have reduced the number of parking spaces downtown, thereby decreasing congestion, improving the safety of the streets, and encouraging the use of public transit.

The attempt backfired, however, when more than 70 other non-profit corporations from across the state, ranging from the far-right Pacific Le...

Is the 2008 Election Already Stolen? Two weeks ago, an obscure, unelected, Republican-appointed official in California decided the future of the world. That future -- at least for the next several years -- will be an accelerating nightmare of war, corruption, repression, atrocity and terror. That's because the loyal apparatchik has, with the stroke of a pen, guaranteed the perpetuation of the Bush faction in power in 2008 and beyond....
