So I’m checking the “Technorati Link Cosmos” for Stageleft and find an inbound link from a blog named “Brock: On the Attack” doing some “true attacking” as part of “Liberal Blog BashFest 2004″
– – it was a pretty short BashFest, only 5 liberal blogs were bashed so I guess maybe I should be honoured [...]
Last week the United States State department released its annual report on the state of human rights around the world, but as Haaretz notes – [the] U.S. has lost its moral right to preach.
… the State Department, which authored the report, represents a state that tramples human rights more than most others. The policeman of [...]
President’s Radio Address February 28
…I have asked Congress to provide an additional $23 million for high schools who want to develop and carry out drug testing programs.
This is ludicrous. At what point will the intrusions into the lives of ordinary people, students in this case, south of the border end? Hauling a random kid, or [...]
Those who read this blog on even a semi-regular basis know that I’m highly critical of the blatant hypocrisy of the Bush administration – type the word hypocrisy into the search box for a few samples. In this case I’m first going to applaud the Bush administration for making note of the human rights abuses [...]

Poor health picture for First Nations and Inuit in Canada
A health report released this week confirms that aboriginal peoples’ health is worse than that of Canadians as a whole. While they are making some gains, their lives are still on average five to 10 years shorter than those of other Canadians, says a report by [...]
California gay weddings can go on
California’s Supreme Court has refused a request from the state’s attorney general to halt gay weddings. More than 3,400 same-sex couples have married, since San Francisco’s mayor began issuing licences two weeks ago.
That’s a lot of couples, and now the same practice has moved to New Paltz, New York [...]
Hans Blix was bugged in Iraq, Kofi Annan’s office was bugged in New York, and Tasmanian Governor Richard Butler says his conversations were bugged while he was a weapons inspector with the United Nations.
More erosion of what little credibility and trust the United States and Great Britain still have left on the international stage [...]
US [strongly] hints Aristide should go
“I regret to say that President Aristide, I think, has made some mistakes over the years,” Powell told CNN’s Paula Zahn. “I hope he will just examine the situation that he is in, and make a careful examination of how best to serve the Haitian people at this time.
The United [...]
Show us the Pentagon Papers on Iraq
As more and more of our young men and women come home from Iraq crippled or in body bags this election season, Americans ask, with increasing urgency, “Why did we send our children to die in Iraq? Was this war necessary?” Indeed, Tim Russert asked the president precisely that [...]

Janet Jackson Satanic Sex Cult
On February 1st, as an estimated 130 million unsuspecting Americans tuned in, the Super Bowl half-time show was turned into a perverted Pagan burlesque show. Janet Jackson’s X-Rated spectacle is being dismissed as a publicity stunt, but the close [...]
Ya know, while working tonight I’m listening to The Savage Nation on The Eagle 93.9 but I just may take a few minutes off now and again to blog this idiot – it might be fun. Look for this post to change as right wing-nuttery presents itself.
According to Savage the left wins their arguments [...]
’No foundation’ for Iraq war claims
ARGUMENTS used by Britain and the United States to launch war on Iraq last year were “without foundation”, former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said. The invasion last March also damaged the credibility of the countries which participated and the authority of the United Nations Security Council, Blix said [...]
A Bible based diet aimed at Christians
And the Lord God said: Drink goat’s milk! Get a suntan! Buy more blueberries! And cook with extra-virgin coconut oil! Well, maybe not in those exact words. But that’s what God meant, says Jordan Rubin, creator of The Maker’s [...]

Germany has a lesson for us about marriage. The practice is for couples to be married in civil ceremonies, followed, if desired, by a religious wedding. The civil ceremony is not a “civil union” or some other euphemism; it’s the real deal, and the couple (a man and a woman) walks out [...]
