Posted by theangryindian from Live Science
Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found. Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

Clinton Campaign Done in By Black Voters
Posted by Jeff from
This will be history's verdict: in the end, the Clintons were defeated not by Republicans, but by African-American Democrats. How wonderful. How poignant. In the end, the karma gets you. Maybe it had to be this way. But this final coup de grace against these awful, hollow, cynical people is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Jimmy Carter: Pariah Diplomacy
Posted by Jeff from Truth Out
Through more official consultations with these outlawed leaders, it may yet be possible to revive and expedite the stalemated peace talks between Israel and its neighbors. In the Middle East, as in Nepal, the path to peace lies in negotiation, not in isolation.

The BRAD BLOG : Hillary Clinton: The Luckiest Woman in the World
Posted by Damianmann from Brad Blog
With 99.51% of the vote reportedly counted as of this moment, according to the PA Dept. of State s own numbers, it s Clinton s 54.6% to Obama s 45.4%. So, in truth, that s actually just a 9.2-point difference, but, as luck would have it for the New York Senator, rounding each of those numbers to their nearest percent, as the bulk of the media were happy to do today, allows for a nice, easily-trumpeted, double-digit, 55% to 45% number that can be reported far and wide!

Howard Zinn: The End of Empire? | ForeignPolicy | AlterNet
Posted by Damianmann from Alternet
In Iraq, in Afghanistan, and at home, the position of the globe's "sole superpower" is visibly fraying. The country that was once proclaimed an "empire lite" has proven increasingly light-headed. The country once hailed as a power greater than that of imperial Rome or imperial Britain, a dominating force beyond anything ever seen on the planet, now can't seem to make a move in its own interest that isn't a disaster. The Iraq government's recent offensive in Basra is but the latest example with -- we can be sure -- more to come.

Race and the Social Contract
Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
Globalization presents the United States with an enormous challenge. Rising to the test will require big investments in the public good — from infrastructure to education to a safety net protecting those most vulnerable to change.

Obama Challenges Clinton on Experience Claims | Politicususa
Posted by jasoneasley from
The Barack Obama campaign has jumped on the opening created by Hillary Clinton's absurd Bosnia exaggeration to add a few of their own choices to Clinton's list. The Obama camp questions what Clinton herself called, “her successful effort to create the SCHIP Children’s Health Insurance program.”

Well there just isn’t a lot going on up there in their asses with their heads.
Seems to me like the corporate media wants Rev. Wright to be the nominee!
