KUCINICH WINS NEVADA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FORUM
Though Kucinich impresses audiences who see him speak, he refuses to take corporate contributions and cannot be bought. Because of this, the corporate-owned news media tries to discount his popularity. His best chance for winning the Democratic nomination is to speak to as many live audiences as possible between now and the primaries. The election of November 7, 2006 proved the voters can overrule the big donors and the news media. If 2008 brings a repeat of 2006, Dennis Kucinich will likely ...

School Beat: NCLB and Civil Rights
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is very clearly another masterful sleight of hand by George Bush and Co. Like his many other tricks (remember the “Clear Skies” program that actually weakened the Clean Air Act), NCLB is full of seemingly lofty goals and requirements ostensibly focused on improving education for all children, while actually attacking the entire project of public education. Most strikingly, its supporters have positioned it as an unshrinking effort to address the racial and class in...

Vegan Foods That Don’t Suck
We have all eaten horrific vegan food. It is inevitable. But over time, I have collected truly delicious vegan recipes and thought I would share a few with you in this article. Vegan food does not have to suck! Vegan foods are generally cheaper to make than dairy and meat product foods. Vegan ingredients are often easier to store, many not requiring refrigeration, etc., as well. And vegan foods are a good antidote to the fat-laden American diet that is so conveniently at our fingertips nowada...

Philippines-- ANTI-TERROR ACT FURTHER EMBOLDENS FORCES OF STATE TERRORISM
Even without the Anti-Terror Act, euphemistically called the Human Security Act of 2007, the US-directed Arroyo regime has unleashed the counterrevolutionary military and police forces on the people and spurred them to commit all kinds of barbarities, including the massacre and massive displacement of people in the countryside and the extrajudicial killing, abduction and torture of so many unarmed legal activists. These atrocities are all in line with the Bush global war of terror and its Ph...
