Commentary :: Elections & Legislation
Disgusted With Democrats
Current rating: 3
06 Nov 2002

I wrote this commentary first thing this morning on my weblog to blow off steam. I'm still pissed, so I'll share.

I will note that this rant is primarily aimed at the National Democratic regime, rather than our local Dems, who actually fared pretty well (aside from their sacrificial lamb to the U.S. House) -- especially increasing their majority in the County Board.

But we have to ask how these local wins stack up against a National Government busy squashing our civil liberties and waging war across the globe.

Oregon Measure To Label Genetically Engineered Foods Voted Down
Current rating: 0
06 Nov 2002

Oregon would have been the first state to require such labelling. The labelling measure was fought by food and biotechnology companies such as Monsanto, Dupont, General Mills, and Pepsi, who formed the Coalition Against the Costly Labelling Law. The campaign spent over five million dollars, outspending labeling advocates 25 to 1.

Leftist Israeli Commentary On Sharon Government's Reshuffle
Current rating: 0
05 Nov 2002
A leftist perspective on Sharon's call for elections: "the economy is collapsing and Sharon has blown it as prime minister. For the good of the state, we need early elections, and fast. On the other hand, who wants Bibi back in power?" Also contains an interesting comment on the Israeli equivalent of campaign soft money.
