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...
