Bush's crony capitalism goes unpunished.
Today's Boston Globe has a story on it's front page about all those Bush/Cheney - friendly corporations who have donated big time to the Bush/Cheney campaigns and in return have received lucrative "no bid" government contracts in return. To suggest that the $3 million and more that companies like...

Bush dreams & the mushroom cloud.
A major disarmament conference recently broke up thanks to US intransigence about comprehensive test ban treaties and disarmament regimes, particularly in outer space.

The Bush strategy for deceiving the voters.
Conventional political wisdom holds that the two issues that could bring the hapless, hopeless and corrupt Bush administration down are the war in Iraq and the economy. Signing the partial birth abortion bill will bind Bush's base to him and not cost him too many votes among women or so goes the...

Does Bush solve America's problems?

Bush's patterns of deceit.

President Bush: A scandal mine-field with periodic explosions.
George W. Bush has led a priviliged and pampered life, always getting far more than his share of the breaks. In fact, its not just that Dubya was born on third base and thought he hit a triple as Molly Ivins has noted, it's that Dubya has grown up with a sense of entitlement and a sense that the law...

A Kerry/Clark (or vice versa) ticket to save America.
In recent polls General Wesley Clark or Senator John Kerry both beat President Bush if the 2004 election were held today. This is the first glimmer of hope that the American Republic might be saved from the ravages of greed, corruption and ineptitude that are rife within the Bush administration. It...
