Civil
Rights: those who defend it
The list of those caught up in in the new oppression is long. We remember
some who have suffered and some who have contributed to preserving our
liberties.
No.

Stupidity on parade
It's not just George Bush that comes up with those wacky ideas. Here is
a round up from all over.
No.
61: February 7, 2005:
The Iraqi election
Do we progressives have to claim the Iraqi election was a failure? No,
and Bush can't claim it vindicates him either - since he opposed having
an election in the first place.
No.
60: January 31, 2005: 360 degrees of spin
Too soon to tell about the Iraqi elections, but some cracks are appearing.
We go through the in basket for topics of interest.
And I actually have some good news - about road signs. [ More

59: January 24, 2005: Where are the Democrats?
Two awful nominations and the Democrats can't be bothered to show
up to oppose them. What will it take to make this party wake up? [ More

57: January 10, 2005: Social Security:
the crisis that isn't there
We all know Social Security is in crisis and not going to be there
for us when we retire. We all know that - but it isn't true. This week
we discuss the actual state of the Social Security system and its mild,
fixable problems. [ More ]

56: December 27, 2004: Falluja, Part 3:
Forward to defeat
According to the mainstream press, Falluja was a great victory. We
pushed the insurgents out, there was little talk of damage or civilian
causalities. But, once again, when we go past the headlines, the truth
is uglier: widespread destruction, the entire population uprooted, and
the insurgents are coming back. [ More ]
No.
55: December 6, 2004: Falluja, Part 2:
tactical victories, strategic defeats
In April of 2004 we tried to take Falluja, and succeeded in creating
more problems than we solved. We did however, finally hear someone say
that we would need to destroy the town in order to save it. [ more

No.
54: November 29, 2004: Falluja, Part 1
Falluja: we've conquered this city, or so were told. But we've forgotten
the history of violent and fateful confrontations over the past two years
that have led us to this point. Falluja is the city where four contractors
were murdered. But before that, there was the demonstration. Here is where
things started to go wrong. [ More ]

53: November 15, 2004: Early
signs of the fall of the regime
Is he starting to overreach as various cabinet officers get while
the getting is good? And is the Resistance starting to form? Get inspiration
from Thomas Jefferson. [ More ]
No.
52: November 8, 2004: Ammo for the next
four years.
Time to get off the mat and start the resistance. But we've got to
understand that we did loose, why fundamentalism has to be fought, and
how to penetrate the rhetorical armor of the Bushites. And we've got to
understand, really understand why people vote for Bush. [ More
