Keeping The Press Safe

November 25, 2011

It should be transparent to anyone who has been paying attention….but I'll say it anyway…. the United States is descending further into an authoritarian militarized country which features separate and distinct forms of justice for the haves…and the have-nots. The haves….have unfettered and unquestioned rights. Their money is, in actuality, free speech. Their corporations pay [...]

Koch State University, Fla.

May 11, 2011

Should America's richest citizens be able to purchase the faculty hiring rights at state universities? In other words, in a democratic society, should one rich person decide who teaches at a state university and what the curriculum of that state university will be? A foundation bankrolled by Libertarian businessman Charles G. Koch has pledged $1.5 [...]

Can't Learn, Can't Be Taught

March 22, 2011

Ed Markey (D-MA)…..yesterday on MSNBC…. We're in Libya because of oil.

Truth Is "Controversial Comment"

March 14, 2011

In December of last year I wrote about the torturing of U.S. Army private Bradley Manning. Held at that point for 7 months without a trial for allegedly stealing and leaking classified information, Manning had fallen victim to the "everything has changed since 9-11" American paradigm. Today, Manning is still being tortured just as he [...]

There's a battle going on inside Ohio. The crux of the dispute is over the same union-busting proposals being fought over in Wisconsin under the leadership of Neo-Confederacy Governor-General, Scott Walker. In Ohio, Republican Sen.

In the early 90's some 800,000 Rwandans were slaughtered in acts of violence. The violence was classified as genocidal acts in that the minority Tutsis were targeted for elimination by the Hutus. Maybe you've seen the movie Hotel Rwanda, starring the capable actor, Don Cheadle. It's worth the viewing. Here is a very detailed and [...]

Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik commenting last night on the senseless mass murder event yesterday in Tucson which killed 6, including a federal judge and a 9 year old, and wounded 12, including Gabrielle Giffords, U.S. Democratic Representative….

GNN: Government News Network

December 29, 2010

If you didn't get a chance to see this eleven minute back and forth between CNN's Jessica Yellin, ex-Bushie Fran Townsend and Salon's Glenn Greewald discussing Julian Assange and WikiLeaks……I recommend it. For discussion purposes, I transcribed a segment of the hapless Fran Townsend's response to the always razor-sharp Greenwald. Fran Townsend: "Is he (Assange) [...]

All The News Government Deems Fit To Print

December 1, 2010

At the beginning of 2004, the New York Times confronted the Bush White House with what they had found out about Bush and Cheney's secret program of vacuuming up all Americans' electronic communications….and doing so without judicial warrants. This was a clear and massive violation of not only the 4th amendment but also the strict [...]

MSNBC President Kneels Before Fox

November 6, 2010

MSNBC has a history of firing their liberal stars. Phil Donohue told Sean Hannity what happened to him in February, 2003….and why it happened…. SEAN HANNITY (co-host): What happened at MSNBC? DONAHUE: Well, we were the only antiwar voice that had a show, and that, I think, made them very nervous. I mean, from the [...]
