CEOs Get The Pie, Workers Crumbs
Current rating: 0
17 Sep 2006
Economic inequality has been growing for more than three decades, but this is a radical escalation.

Are you better off than you were 2 years ago. 4 Years ago? 6 years ago? The Republicans just want you to suck it up, keep your head down, and keep on working harder for THEM. Sorry 'bout that.

Stanford law professor Joseph Grundfest can tell us if Endovasc,a Stanford University penny stock 'pump and dump' fraud,was also a money laundering operation.In my opinion all money made by pump and dump fraud is also money laundering and all proceeds should be seen as such even any that find their way to,or end up as political
'donations' or bribes to,Republicans.

Propaganda for Jewish Culture and Society
Current rating: 0

Israeli journalist Amnon Lord has been invited by the UIUC Program for Jewish Culture and Society to speak not about politics, but about the Israeli cinema (Wednesday, September 20). Nevertheless, the reactionary and racist nature of his political views should be duly noted, in the context of the PJCS's failure to promote a serious examination of Jewish Culture and Society, here or in Israel.

Gandhi.jpgHe's a huge box-office hit. He's at the top of the Indian music charts. He's on the front cover of magazines. One hundred years after Gandhi first called on his compatriots to resist white colonial rule without violence, he is back in fashion once more.

Nuclear Deficits
Current rating: 0

Modified: 12:34:42 PM
Simple prudence and common sense argue in favor of a go-slow approach to nuclear power until we have an international safeguards system genuinely commensurate with the inherent proliferation risks. The U.S. nuclear regulatory process must also be redirected away from its propensity to act as an industry cheerleader, through more statesmanlike presidential appointments and stronger Congressional oversight. Until we have solid evidence that the other carbon-free and carbon-neutral technologies cannot meet the climate challenge, a rush to a major nuclear expansion would be an expensive and divisive impediment to the formation of sound energy and climate policies.

Surprise Blacklist Keeps Me From Zorba's Restaurant
Current rating: 0
16 Sep 2006
I made good friends during Zorba's jazz nights in past years, but recently, taking out of something from McCarthyism, I was blacklisted from Zorba's on a trumped-up charge of panhandling. But I never do such
things at all. Looks like an inside job..........

Dirty Dozen: The Pentagon's 12-Step Program to Create a Military of Misfits
Current rating: 0
15 Sep 2006
Last year, despite NASCAR, professional bull-riding, and Arena Football sponsorships; popular video games that doubled as recruiting tools; TV commercials dripping with seductive scenes of military glory; a "joint marketing communications and market research and studies" program actively engaged in measures to target for military service Hispanics, drop outs, and those with criminal records; and at least $16,000 in promotional costs for each soldier it managed to sign up, the U.S. military failed to meet its recruiting goals. This year those methods have been pumped up and taken over the top in twelve critical areas of recruitment that make the old Army ad-line, "Be All That You Can Be," into material for late night TV punch lines of the future.
