    • The US attorneys

      Posted by Sandyenglish

      The supposed constitutional “showdown” between the Democratic-led Congress and George Bush’s White House over the firing of eight federal prosecutors has served primarily to shift the focus of media attention and official public debate away from the war in Iraq.

      Gore takes warming warnings to Congress

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Gore advised lawmakers to cut carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases 90 percent by 2050 to avert a crisis. Doing that, he said, will require a ban on any new coal-burning power plants — a major source of industrial carbon dioxide — that lack state-of-the-art controls to capture the gases.

      Fitzgerald tells Congress he can't say much about CIA leak

      Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post

      In a letter to Waxman, Fitzgerald did not refuse to cooperate with the congressional probe but made it clear he had little to say. "I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to offer opinions, as your letter suggests the committee may seek, about the ultimate responsibility of senior White House officials for the disclosure of Ms. Wilson's identity," Fitzgerald wrote.

    • The New York Times' The Must-Do List

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      The NYT editorial page takes a bold cannon shot across the Bush administration's bow with a top list of rights and rules that need to be fixed now that Bush/Cheney have broken them. e.g. Habeas Corpus, No Torture, et al. Kudos to the new NYT editorial staff. They are earning their stripes.

    • Fair Use Bill Introduced In Congress

      Posted by Kathy from lockergnome.com

      A first-step counterpoint to the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998? U.S. Rep. Rich Boucher (D-VA.) and John Dolittle (R-CA) have introduced the "The FAIR USE Act" (long title: Freedom and Innovation Revitalizing U.S. Entrepreneurship Act -- don't ya love how bill names conveniently add up to a catchy acronym?).

    Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

    Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

    Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

    though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

    . . .but the wheel turns around. . .deja vu all over again. . .

    You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

    I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.

    However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

     . . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.

    i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this.  otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Hi okami,

    I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

    this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church.  Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."

    people fear change and the future and uncertainity. 

    this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that.  it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
