Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly – and every January 1, the press feels compelled to compile lists of the most significant events from the past year. As 2005 slipped away, a fair amount of ink was spilled on what was supposedly a “bad year” for President Bush. Somehow, members of the press managed to overlook the fact that it was an even worse year for them. The speciously named “Plamegate” – a non-scandal about the not-illegal “leaking” of the name of a non-covert CIA agent – was supposed to be the President’s undoing. Instead, it was, in many ways,...

ST. PAUL - Walter Mondale, the man who transformed the vice presidency from a ceremonial job to a position of power, thinks Vice President Dick Cheney wields too much power and may be undermining the president. But Mondale is growing increasingly impressed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and believes she is steering the Bush administration toward more cooperative relations with other countries. Mondale, 77, a former Minnesota attorney general and U.S. senator, was vice president under President Carter from 1977 through 1980. He was the first vice president to have an office in the White House, have access to...

I just received a phone call from a Slimfast rep. She said Unilever is referring all correspondence about Whoopi/Slimfast to them and they are then forwarding everything to the marketing dept. The marketing dept is deciding what to do but she wanted to let me know that they weren't ignoring my concerns. She added that she was appalled by Whoopi's "comedy" as well. While I thought they would eventually respond with a form letter and some coupons, I am stunned that they responded so quickly and it sounds like they're serious. I'm hopeful.

<p>In case you don't know, "Freepers" are fans of a certain far-out-right-wing-nut website and they go on sites like this and "freep" books with one-star reviews without reading them. They're group-thinkers and dittoheads. They go on polling sites and "freep" them as well, and the ones who are technically inclined attempt to infiltrate some websites and shut them down. They're rotten, horrible people.</p>

Through the federal government, President Bush has been able to declare WAR in a "foreign" country. Unlike Viet Nam, Bush jump started the war with Iraq. With all of this diversion going on, WHY doesn't the media report on the real truth? That being that the de facto unlawful government state of Hawaii isn't a "STATE" at all and never has been. The fraud, lie and coverup has been all along that Hawaii has been militarily occupied for the past 110 years. There lives today 274 men/women that are of the true nationality of being Hawaiian. They never signed the...

While I find those images on the Internet of a blunt little mustache digitally-scribbled onto President Bush's upper lip feeble and unhelpful, still, there are parts of Bush's character and behavior that strikingly resemble at least one major biographer's interpretation of Hitler. Ian Kershaw's two-volume life of Hitler puts great emphasis on his being a driving high-stakes gambler - with innate, animal-cunning about human psychology, few gifts of statesmanship or strategy, and little systematic learning - attributing most of his success and all of his failure to his compulsive quality. When, for example, Bush waged his ferocious post-election pursuit of...

A leading Dutch politician who has called for returning European ambassadors from Tel Aviv is the sole candidate to become the Netherlands board member of the World Bank representing also Israel at the prestigious financial institution in Washington. According to Dutch newspapers, the new Dutch government has agreed to appoint Ad Melkert, a former prime-ministerial candidate, as its representative to the board of the World Bank. The Dutch delegate acts also as the representative of Israel and several other countries which are not entitled to appoint board members. Melkert, who led the Dutch Labor Party (PvdA) to one of its...
