Duel of Historical Guilts
by Maureen Dowd
Some women in their 30s, 40s and early-50s who favor Barack Obama have a phrase to describe what they don’t like about Hillary Clinton: Shoulder-pad feminism.They feel that women have moved past that men-are-pigs, woe-is-me, sisters-must-stick-together, pantsuits-are-powerful era that Hillary’s campaign has lately revived with a vengeance. | NGOs Wary of Doomsday Seed Vault
by Keya Acharya
Agricultural non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in India and elsewhere are criticizing the newly-opened Global Seed Vault (GSV) at Svalbard in Norway as fundamentally unjust in its objectives.0304 03The Barcelona-based agriculture lobby, GRAIN, with branches in major developing nations in Africa, Asia and Latin America, says a serious deficiency of the seed vault is that it deals basically with state and private-body depositors to the bank, thereby excluding the rights of poor farmers who cannot access these seeds. | Former Kerry primary chief: Clinton nomination 'impossible, really'
by Raw Story
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) scored big Tuesday night, taking Texas and Ohio, states her husband said were a "must-win" for her to remain viable in the race for the Democratic nomination.But a close analysis of the delegate counts -- which still favor Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) even after Clinton's Tuesday bump, may put a Clinton victory out of reach. | Not just the worst president ever: worst cabinet secretaries too
by Weldon Berger
George W. Bush has a death grip on the title of Worst US President Ever, but he's not alone in achieving historic levels of incompetence: his cabinet secretaries are pulling their weight as well.Take Condoleeza Rice, for instance. As Bush's national security council chief, she presided over the administration's total lack of interest in counter-terrorism activities. It was Rice, you'll recall, who referred in testimony before the 9/11 commission to the Presidential Daily Brief entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In US" as a "historical document" unworthy of notice. | Memo to the fat lady: Go home
by Doug Thompson
The fat lady that Barack Obama had waiting in the wings Tuesday night didn't even get the chance to clear her throat before Hillary Clinton sent her packing with a plane ticket home and a hotel reservation in Denver for August.Obama didn't seal the deal and drive Clinton from the Democratic Presidential race. Instead, she won three out of four primary races and staged yet another improbable comeback. | Better Buckle Up! - CheneyBush's Final 10 Months
by Bernard Weiner
If anyone still harbors any illusions that the lame-duck CheneyBush Administration will taxi relatively harmlessly to its departure gate in January 2009, recent events suggest otherwise. It's been made abundantly clear that in the next ten months, these guys are going to behave even more brutishly in amassing and misusing their power, and in screwing things up, than they've already done in the past seven-plus years. | The War Election
by Norman Solomon
Maybe it sounded good when politicians, pundits and online fundraisers talked about American deaths as though they were the deaths that mattered most.Maybe it sounded good to taunt the Bush administration as a bunch of screw-ups who didn’t know how to run a proper occupation. | The Great Regression - and the Road Back
by Ernest Partridge
This past week I revisited an essay that I wrote in May, 2000: ##“On Civic Friendship.” Reading it was a sobering reminder of how much we Americans have lost, economically, politically, and morally, since then – how much our sense of hope, our self-esteem and our international reputation have disintegrated under the Bush/Cheney regime. | Crimes by Homeland Security agents stir alert
by Jay Weaver
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is supposed to stop these types of crimes. Instead, so many of its officers have been charged with committing those crimes themselves that their boss in Washington recently issued an alert about the ''disturbing events'' and the ``increase in the number of employee arrests.'' | Clinton hints at shared ticket, Obama dismisses as 'premature'
by Raw Story
Hillary Rodham Clinton, fresh off a campaign saving comeback, hinted Wednesday at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama — with her at the top. Obama played down his losses, stressing that he still holds the lead in number of delegates, and referred to talk of a joint ticket as "premature." | Counterattack: Obama camp calls out Clinton over tax returns
by Nick Juliano
Emerging from its bruising at the hands of Hillary Clinton's "kitchen sink" strategy, the Barack Obama campaign came out swinging Wednesday with sharp questions about what could be hiding in Hillary Clinton's unreleased tax returns.After being stung with losses in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island the night before, Obama held onto his lead in the delegate count, and the Illinois senator stressed that the math was still on his side. Meanwhile, his campaign pushed its newest line of attack: Clinton's claim that she is the more vetted candidate is hogwash because of the unanswered questions in her tax returns. |
