The John McCain-Bill Cunningham Con
by Steve Young
Bill Cunningham got punked.At least that how the story's been sold.Backstory...Cincinnati talk show host Bill Cunningham was booked last Tuesday to warm up the McCain crowd at a rally in Cincinnati. True to his 700 WLW radio chops, Cunningham incited the crowd with a good ole, pull no punches rip of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, using the same screed he uses five days a week on his radio show. | New Republicans. Not so you'd notice
by Jaime O'Neill
It's kind of odd, even counter-intuitive, for a retired teacher to speak disparagingly of "liberal, nanny-government," and to sneer at "entitlements." But that's just what one of my fellow columnists did recently when he wrote a column in support of the Republican standard bearer, John McCain. | Even Utahns learning to stand up to the Man

The plundering of the West is finally being challenged.For decades, Western politicians have given away the farm, environmentally speaking. The federal government turned most of the Nevada desert into an uninhabitable mess with nuclear testing.

Some people have likened the Earth to a relatively small lifeboat wheeling in an incredibly vast sea of outer space.

Or a Debacle?
by Bob Herbert
When does a dandy fight become an ugly brawl?For the Democrats, perhaps on Tuesday.If Barack Obama wins in either Texas or Ohio, the race for the nomination will effectively be over.

"The 'Chechnya' special operation has infected the whole country, which is becoming more and more beastly and idiotic. The value of human life was already very low in Russia, and now it has slipped to almost nothing. We have all reached the depths, like the unrescued Kursk [the sunken submarine]. And there's no order for rescue." | Military heat ray gun zaps 60 Minutes reporter

by Robert Weissman
There was a time, not so long ago, when U.S. governmental hypocrisy on human rights and corporate interests was at least acknowledged.But now it seems that the Bush administration has so degraded society’s standards, and Big Business so routinely claims that it is bound by no ethical standard except to make money and follow the law — even as it aims to define that very law, and then frequently flouts the remaining legal restraints — that the hypocrisy is no longer even acknowledged. | Corrupt Dictators and Their Friends

People have got to know whether their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. - Richard Nixon, Press Conference 11/11/1973Herewith an introduction to Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, president of Kazakhstan.Mr. Nazarbayev was elected president of Kazakhstan by the Supreme Soviet on April 24, 1990. On December 1, 1991, Kazakhstan being on the verge of independence, he was elected by Kazakh citizens with 95 percent of the vote and most recently was elected in 2005 with 91 percent of the vote. The 2005 election was only slightly marred by the observation of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), an organization he now chairs, that there were “numerous and persistent examples of intimidation by the authorities” and an “overall media bias in favor of the incumbent.” One month before the election Zamanbek Nurkadilov, an opposition leader, was said by authorities to have committed suicide. He did it by shooting himself once in the head and twice in the chest. Two months after the election, Altynbek Sarsenbayev, one of the opposition leaders was killed, reportedly by state security officials. | Pills found in fish prompt Gorton's recall

Bloomberg is quietly injecting himself — and his money — into one of the most explosive partisan battles in decades in New York.Several weeks ago, the mayor wrote a $500,000 check to help keep the dwindling and increasingly imperiled State Senate Republicans from losing their grip on power, according to an official with direct knowledge of the donation. |
