Here is the courageous statement from Gov. Blanco of LA:

Gov. Kathleen Blanco called the looters "hoodlums" and issued a warning to lawbreakers: Hundreds of National Guard troops hardened on the battlefield in
Iraq have landed in New Orleans.
"They have M-16s and they're locked and loaded," she said. "These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will."

Now, whatever the dire need for law and order in New Orleans right now, is it really necessary to have a governor engaging in the worst sorts of fearmongering and calling for the execution of its citizens? Read More

Anyone still holding out hope that the New York Times has any shred of impartiality left need only go to this link to their article on NARAL's anti-Roberts for SCOTUS TV ad. Watch them squirm to go out of their way to find obscure sources to back their outrageous titular claim that "TV Ad Attacking Court Nominee Provokes Furor", while nary a single quote, other than from NARAL itself is provided to show that this "furor" isn't universal. Hmm, maybe the White House gave Times Square a call, in which case the article should be named "TV Ad Attacking Court Nominee Provokes Fuhrer" Read More

That's right. Good thing our economy is so "robust" that we don't have to worry about:

The upcoming housing bubble
An inaccurate unemployment number
The fact that countless jobs have been replaced by McJobs
The fact that increasing numbers of techincal jobs are only available in conscience and soul destroying military-industrial complex fields.
Constantly increasing offshoring and outsourcing

A new Moneybox column in Slate has an entertaining, though morally ambiguous article regarding the leadership change-up at News Corp. See it here:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2123835/

And so, given his utter omission of the sick hatred this comany finances 24/7, at the risk of going slightly overboard, I wrote him this email to see if I couldn't see what he was (or wasn't) thinking:

"The Bush Administration's Environmental Philosophy": burn it, slash it, fuck it up.

"* The focus is on results - making our air, water, and land cleaner." Winner: Most Vacuous Statement of the Year Award
"* We need to employ the best science and data to inform our decision-making." Translation: unchecked hostility towards all science that doesn't say that "things are geting better" no matter how much living systems worldwide are in an accelerating decline

I've been doing a lotta reading lately on books that will help inform a career of helping to create a sustainable economy, one organization at a time. And, it's clear from reading all of this that we've got to change the mainstream environmental thinking because it will NOT work

We've been raised on "reduce, reuse, recycle", which is all fine and good except one problem. It's an approach that tries to fix a fatally flawed model rather than redesigning it to work. That model is "cradle-to-grave". We need an economy based on a "Cradle-to-cradle" system. More below the fold... Read More

I wrote this diary on Jonah "I'm too important to put my money where my mouth is and enlist" Goldberg's nasty artcile "Representative Awful" on Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).

He replied to my letter with the following whopper: "She's an awful, and I don't take back a word."

Gale Norton, the "moderate" Republican, took to a snowmobile at Yellowstone to try and overturn a Clinton law that would prohibit snowmobiles.

So here it is... even in our most treasured wildnerness you'd better duck and cover if you don't want to get in the way of the "traffic". Read More

Environmentalism ain't dead... just stalled. I've seen lots of theories floating around out there... too overconfident from early victories; country too conservative now, etc. etc.

Environmentalism needs a jump start. I propose this be two pronged: one) consolidate all the gains made by concerned citizens and groups, i.e. fight to protect existing regulation, remove outmoded and harmful subsidies, and most of all encourage dialogue on how to keep environmental policy fresh, exciting, and relevant. After all, what's more exciting than the prospect of a beautful, healthy, peaceful planet. Read More

It seems like the calm before the storm. Now that we've had the SOTU and can shift our dialogue back to domestic issues and right-wing noise machine operatives, and we've sent Condi over to Europe so that, magically, everyone's our best friend again -- the Pentagon can begin setting up for "surgical" airstrikes in Iran.

As I'm sure most people here won't doubt, the grand strategy of Bush/Rove/Cheney Co is one of war (and oil). Well, now that we've got Iran sandwiched in by puppet regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran is no doubt getting up to high alert. So how do we know Iran is next despite the muted though ambiguous and slight backpedaling?

I write you an open letter here on Kos because you are too much of a coward to leave an email contact on your webpage. I'd write you this letter on pen and paper, but you're not worth the tree that gave part of itself to have your name printed upon it.

Your vote today for Gonzalez has confirmed what many people already realized from your countless attempts to sell out the Democratic party on Faux News: you are a traitor. A traitor to party AND country, a traitor to the Jewish people, and a traitor to humanity. Especially, to be Jewish and vote for a torturer is akin to voting for a Nazi, for both share the same ideology. For you to buy into this crap about how AG is a minority with an "impressive story" is the weakest, most insulting and shameful cover-up imaginable. Read More

Anyone been following the story on how 4 people are being sacked at CBS after some "independent report" derided the "Myopic Zeal" of those involved in bringing the report on documents proving Bushy's AWOL from Texas Air National Guard?.

Now, is it me, or is that one of the most half-witted, empty, assinine phrases you've ever heard; especially by an 'independent' entity that is charged with elucidating the facts out of a 'controversy'. Is anyone else here smelling fascism?

I can't believe that major media are covering this, quoting that ridiculous phrase, and keeping a straight face. Read More
