Rich Albertson's book, The Sky is the Limit, is a book that can't be distributed quickly enough, if our environmental crisis is as immediate as the evidence seems to indicate.

I'm too depressed to read anything - the economic crisis already has my attention. I'll settle for the Valium.

I prefer to put my head in the sand - or at least stretch out on the beach with a bottle of Jack Daniels handy.

I'll read the book. The topic sounds important and the author is readable, at least.

I'll read the book and if the evidence is substantial, I may even become an activist.

Yesterday, the day after Memorial Day, the first Guest Lecture sponsored by the Portland Chapter of the Pacific Green Party took place in the cafeteria of Portland Community College's Rock Creek Campus.

The speaker, Benji Lewis, is a Marine veteran who has served two tours in Iraq, but who refused to report for a third as a matter of conscience. As Benji has said, "My resistance was a conscious decision to cease participation in the continued maintenance and creation of empire."

I am posting this diary for a friend, Thom, who is not Internet savvy, but he is a family man who cares about peace and the future of our country. What's this about? Christmas in July? - No, but this proposed boycott will require prior thought and planning.--sassykathy46

Make your gifts and enjoy a homemade Christmas! They will not listen till we hurt the bottom line. Let's work together for better jobs, better wages, better benefits and BETTER GOVERNMENT. These results are just the wishful pipe dreams of an old man. I am 61 years old, and I have seen a lot of changes in my country in those years. Most recently almost all of them have been bad. I think these bad things are the fault of BAD GOVERNMENT, AND CORPORATIONS, along with our inability to make ourselves heard in the media.

I have tremendous respect for all you committed patriots and DailyKOs readers, so I seriously want your collective opinion on whether most of you agree with Nancy Pelosi that "impeachment is a distraction". I am aware that many polls conducted on this site are often tongue in cheek and/or pose rhetorical questions. I value the opinions of DKO readers because I know you are more informed, and more involved than many Americans. I am just a little surprised - if you don't mind my saying so - that some of you seem to think it isn't necessary to impeach.

Let's face it - the conservative agenda is not fairing well, the value of Republican stock seems to be tanking along with Bush's poll figures.

The Republicans seem to be in a bit of a sweat, and who could blame them? The last few years have seen a few too many scandals. Republican politicians and conservative pundits alike must wonder if they will stand in unemployment lines after the '09 elections, and that possibility has to be stressful in the lives of conservatives everywhere. It has been one thing after another for some time: the lucrative Abramoff K-Street scheme blew up in the face of the Republican Party; there was the Katriana fiasco; the Foley scandal broke; the war is not going well - to say the least; the profiteering fraud of corporate Bush cronies has become common knowledge along with a soaring deficit; a number of Republican politicians have been found guilty or are facing indictment, the Walter Reed scandal helped not a whit; Valerie Plame made a credible witness before congress; the U.S. attorney scandal grabbed the nation's attention; the D.C. madam named NAMES!; and lastly, nearly unforgiveably, there came the Wolfowitz scandal and his forced resignation. Time has come to circle the wagons.

Brace yourselves. I am going to bring up the unmentionable: impeachment. Yeah yeah, I've heard that the Democrats don't have the votes. I beg to differ - last week has changed the entire political scene.

I recommend THE most entertaining and IMPORTANT political work I may have ever read - a work that convinced me that Wesley Clark is the best person of all '08's potential presidential candidates! Through this work, I became convinced that Wes is the most competent and able captain to sail our ship of state through the present storm into a safe port. Read More
