We Are Deeply Concerned
It did not take long for the Bu$h administration to reveal itself. Of course, those of us who spent the bleak days of November, 2000 watching All- Recount- All- The- Time TV instead of making figgy pudding, were not too terribly surprised. Astute activists began muttering “Fourth Reich” and “Bu$h Nazi” long before the former governor of Texas took office....

House Votes 416 to 3 to Condemn Court for Tossing Pledge of Allegiance
Not to be outdone by the US Senate, which voted 99 to 0 to support the illegal, religious, reactionary Pledge of Allegiance, the House of Representatives voted 416 to 3 to condemn the 9th Circuit Court's excellent Church/State separation ruling, thus proving that they, like the US Senate and Gov Gray Davis all are proud of violating their oath of office which mandates they support the Constitution, including the First Amendment, which mandates separation of church and state....

Bush is Irrelevant and Must Go
In a major policy shift, I have decided that George W. Bush is irrelevant and must be replaced as leader of the United States. Every week, an American somewhere murders, rapes, or brutalizes a foreigner. I hold the president personally responsible for every such attack....

Flawed peace plan reflects U.S. illusions
