Hillary or Nobody?
by Maureen Dowd
While the cool cat’s away, the Hillary mice will play.As Barack Obama was floating in the pool with his daughters the last few days in St. Thomas, some Clinton disciples were floating the idea of St. Hillary as his vice president.She can’t win without him, said one Hillary adviser, and he can’t win without her. | Jose Canseco's new book links A-Rod to known steroid supplier
by Teri Thompson
If Jose Canseco was seeking revenge, he found it.Canseco says he was nice enough to educate Alex Rodriguez about steroids and even introduced him to a friendly steroids dealer in the late 1990s, but A-Rod returned the favor by trying to bed his wife, the former Bash Brother alleges in his new book, "Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars and the Battle to Save Baseball." | Governor Paterson, Hillary Clinton need to stop telling stories
by NY Daily News
It goes one of two ways for David Paterson, another politician out of New York who doesn't know when to shut up any more than Hillary Clinton does.Here is one: Paterson continues to give us way more information about his past than any of us ever needed, and they run him out of Albany faster than his predecessor ran working girls out of hotel rooms. The other is that he stops giving interviews now, stops acting as if that's his day job, and begins to show if he actually has the chops for a job he clearly never expected to have in the years when he was, in the words of the late, great Warren Zevon, making out like Charlie Sheen. | Why Is Hillary Clinton Lying?
by Robert Parry
Two weeks ago, I wrote a story that observed a disturbing trend in Hillary Clinton’s campaign – her growing tendency to stretch the truth, twist what her chief rival was saying and then rely on her supporters to go on the offensive against you if you spoke up. | Our future - maybe
by Jack Lessenberry
"Most working-and-middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race. As far as they're concerned, nobody's handed them anything. They've worked hard all their lives, many times only to see their jobs shipped overseas or their pension dumped after a lifetime of labor. They are anxious about their futures ... so when they are told to bus their children to a school across town; when they hear that an African-American is getting an advantage ... because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; when they're told that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds." | Olympic Flames: China's Crackdown on Tibet
by Dave Zirin
China's crackdown against Tibetan protesters ahead of the Summer Olympics in Beijing carries with it a brutal echo from the past. Scores of people, including school children are reported dead and more repression has been promised. The People's Daily, the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), said "[We must] resolutely crush the 'Tibet independence' forces' conspiracy and sabotaging activities." | In presidential politics, what is true strength?
by Mary Shaw
I was talking informally with a small group of people when the subject of this year's presidential race came up (as it usually does in conversations these days).They expressed their disappointment and disgust with how the Clinton and Obama campaigns have been attacking each other. And they said that McCain's advantage is that he appears strong -- even more so these days with the Dems acting like children. | A Western Fable: Waist-Deep in the Big Muddy (Again)
by Bernard Weiner
My neighbor's cattle operation had a huge number of prized Black Angus steers and Holstein dairy-cows. I wanted them and the lush range they fed on. I tried making some sort of deal with the owner, but he was one ornery sumbitch.He knew his Double I-Ranch was prime real estate, with super cattle herds, so he made sure to hire the strongest guards and gave them the latest weapons so nobody would consider making a move on him. He was taunting me, telling me he wouldn't deal, that I could go to hell. He needed a good lesson in humility. | Coffee Klatch
by Mark Biskeborn
Running on caffeinated fuel, all synaptic pistons firing, I’m writing away, polishing up my next novel, The Sufi’s Ghost, and what happens? The stranger sits nearby. I keep my head to my laptop screen, taking cover. The stranger always comes in, white guy with the curly afro gray hair and suit, no tie. | Dominos: How Bear Stearns default threatens the entire world financial system
by Mike Aivaz and Muriel Kane
When we hear of turmoil in world financial markets, it can be difficult to understand how so much chaos can result from a relatively small number of defaults on individual home mortgages. Paul Solman, the business and economics correspondent for PBS's NewsHour, undertook to explain how those modest defaults could escalate to the point where they "now threaten the entire world financial system." | Pentagon agency confuses Iran with Iraq in official history
by John Byrne
"George W. Bush is not stupid," Jon Stewart told a crowd in 2005. "He invaded Iraq. They didn't have weapons of mass destruction or ties to Al Qaeda ... but Iran does. So he was only one letter off and that should be credited."The Agency that brought you bogus intelligence on the Iraq war -- a Defense Intelligence Agency operative who knew that a key US intelligence source was unreliable sat in on meetings with then-Secretary of State Colin Powell when he incorporated claims about mobile Iraqi weapons labs into his portfolio -- now brings you the Iran that is actually Iraq. | For Hillary, lying ain't no big deal
by Doug Thompson
Hillary Clinton got caught in a lie recently, a whopper about being under fire in a so-called combat zone, a well-rehearsed lie she has been telling on the campaign trail for months.When the truth came out, as it so often does in the microscopic world of politics, she shrugged her shoulders and dismissed it by saying: | Clinton used 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy' paper to bash Obama pastor
by Nick Juliano
When comments from Barack Obama's former preacher errupted into the spotlight earlier this month his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton seemed hesitant to make a campaign issue out of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial comments. Her campaign aides refused to comment on the former pastor's satements, and would not say Wright's comments were the cause of what they saw as Obama's sinking poll numbers. | New evidence suggests second shooter killed RFK
by David Edwards and Nick Juliano
Forty years after Democratic rising star Robert F. Kennedy was killed at a Los Angeles hotel during his presidential run, new evidence suggests the man serving a life sentence for his murder did not fire the shots that killed the charismatic senator.Forensic scientists met at a conference in Connecticut this week to discuss their independent findings that cast serious doubt on the Kennedy assassination. Sirhan Sirhan is serving a life sentence in Kennedy's death, but the conference presenters argue he could not have fired the fatal shot that killed Kennedy. |
