Dawson also has a brand spanking new layout. And we like what he has to say (when he says something- which hasn’t been often lately). At any rate, it looks great, and I really need to do something about my layout here.

Workers World Online has a brand spanking new layout, and they also have this delicious op-ed by convicted murderer, degenerate rabble-rouser, and soon to be (hopefully) compost heap Mumia Abu Jamal.
At any rate, Mumia opines that War is big business.
He seems to be taking the lead of Ted Rall, but what is most offensive is that he perceives that the ONLY reason we are in Afghanistan is for oil (a dubious assertion in it’s own right). No mention of 9/11, no mention of the horrors of the Taliban, no mention of Al-Qaeda.
These people are just sickening.
This is the clearest explanation
This is the clearest explanation of the status of the Camp X-Ray detainees that I have seen.
BTW- Am I the only
BTW- Am I the only registered Republican who is sickened by this orgy of spending? Goodness- it is just appalling. I think I might be ripping up my elephant card and following the lead of the Samizdata folks.
OK. The pundits all seem
OK. The pundits all seem agog with this speech. I thought it was a luke-warm ‘O.k.’
I still think his best speech was his acceptance speech at the 2000 Republican Convention. In particular, these lines:
A time of prosperity is a test of vision. And our nation today needs vision. That is a fact … or as my opponent might call it, a “risky truth scheme.” Every one of the proposals I’ve talked about tonight, he has called a “risky scheme,” over and over again.
It is the sum of his message — the politics of the roadblock, the philosophy of the stop sign.
If my opponent had been there at the moon launch, it would have been a “risky rocket scheme.”
If he’d been there when Edison was testing the light bulb, it would have been a “risky anti-candle scheme.”
And if he’d been there when the Internet was invented well … I understand he actually was there for that.
He now leads the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But the only thing he has to offer is fear itself.
SOTU Prediction update- #5 partially
SOTU Prediction update-
#5 partially confirmed. David Gergen mentioned that BUsh was JFK-like in his call for service. I am almost sure Matthews will say it now.
Post SOTU prediction check. #1
Post SOTU prediction check.
#1 Confirmed. Drugs for elderly, more head start, and a number of others I amforgetting.
#2- Too early to tell.
#3- Somewhat confirmed. Subject brought up immediately on MSNBC.
#4- Confirmed. Gephardt’s opening line was on parties united. Couldn’t see Hillary’s calves, but I am SURE they are still fat.
#5- Not yet confirmed. Matthews not on yet.
#6- Nothing really to confirm. Gephardt is nasal and whiny always.
#7- Can not confirm fully. Did not see them much (Saw Schumer only once, but he wwas clapping and smiling).
#8. Too early to tell.
