A press release (produced verbatim below) from Christian Educators Association International, the "foremost public school association for Christian educators serving in public and private schools," makes me want to puke. This bigoted attitude, so prevalent these days among the religious right, is deadly and anti-Christian.

By the way, speaking of "invasive efforts," how about this group's strident efforts to insist on promoting a lifestyle of intolerance, fear, and hatred?

The news release is below the fold. Read More

As of 6:51 a.m. ET, here is the headline on drudgereport.com:

UPDATE: BESIEGED ETHNIC STUDIES PROF ADMITS HE'S NOT AN INDIAN...

But go the URL he links to and you'll find a huge pink box with a correction:

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin, incorrectly quoted University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill as admitting that he was not American Indian.

The story about Churchill's Tuesday night speech at the University of Hawaii-Manoa said the professor noted that his "white Republican" critics were asking, "Is he an Indian? Do we really care?"

"Let's cut to the chase, I'm not," the quote in yesterday's paper continued.

But a review of video and audio tapes of the speech shows that Churchill actually said: "Is he an Indian? Read More

The Washington Post offers an interesting overview of the Hudson Institute's symposium with various conservative leaders last Wednesday. Here's a quote:

In written essays and in discussions, participants explored the continuing fissures within conservatism. They fell into two factions, one arguing that the state has an interest in managing the behavior and moral conduct of individuals, the other contending that individuals should be free to manage their own lives as long as they do not harm others.

Flash from the WaPo:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31826-2005Feb17.html?referrer=email

"President Bush today named veteran diplomat John D. Negroponte to the new post of national intelligence chief, picking the former ambassador to Iraq and the United Nations in a surprise choice to oversee 15 intelligence agencies.

"Negroponte, 65, who was appointed last year as the first ambassador to Iraq after the ouster of Saddam Hussein, will assume a post created by legislation aimed at overhauling the nation's intelligence system, if he is confirmed by the U.S. Senate."

Now this should be interesting.

Doesn't he have some baggage? I know he's Iraq ambassador now.

The Washington Post reports on the Congressional hearing yesterday regarding the war. Note this near the lead:

"Islamic extremists are exploiting the Iraqi conflict to recruit new anti-U.S. jihadists," CIA Director Porter J. Goss told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Wait a minute, this is Bush's man Porter Goss admitting this!

So the whole war on terror is a sham--doing the very opposite of what it was purported to do.

Joe Hagen in the New York Observer says the three employees of CBS News who were asked to resign over Rathergate have not done so and are fighting for their reputations. Good for them!

Here's the story by Hagen:
http://www.nyobserver.com/pages/nytv.asp

And here's an interesting quote:
"In a recent article in The New York Law Journal, James C. Goodale, the former vice chairman of The New York Times, called the CBS investigation 'a flawed report. It should not be swallowed hook, line and sinker.'

"He added: 'Surprisingly, the report is unable to conclude whether the documents are forgeries or not. If the documents are not forgeries, why is the panel writing the report?'"

Why indeed.
