The Project of Political Resolution being discussed in the party collective hits the bull's eye as it identifies the anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist character of the anti-neoliberal struggle. The document is incisive as it proclaims that there is no viable and lasting ways out of the Brazilian crisis within the limits of capitalism.

I got gas at a cheap off brand station for $2.43 a gallon, and came back today, three days later, to find that that it was $2.99 a gallon. Of course there is the New Orleans disaster, a great disaster, which has devastated oil refining.

"Is it my turn to talk?" "Yes, America. Go ahead."
"My name is America, and I am an addict." (In a chorus of replies in varying languages, the group welcomes America)"I am addicted to power, over-consumption, imperialism, deceit, avarice, hubris, and war. Like a spoiled child with a self-will run amuck, I have tried to force each of you to bend to my will. My life has become unmanageable, I am powerless over my additions. I am prepared to turn my will over to a Power greater than myself and allow that Power to restore me to sanity. The fact that I am speaking to you in English and expecting all of you to understand me shows how deep my arrogance runs...

Both the AFM [American Federation of Musicians] and the AFL-CIO at their respective conventions in July passed strongly worded resolutions calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. The resolutions also condemned the invasion as based on faulty intelligence that has made our nation less secure from the threat of terrorism.

Cindy Sheehan has been subjected to an unwarranted backlash by right-wing pundits because of her antiwar protests and some explosive statements she made about President Bush. Perhaps Sheehan, while mourning the death of her son, Casey, a U.S. soldier who died in the Iraq war, lashed out at the president, and decided to take her antiwar message to Crawford, Texas, after doing some fact checking on her emotional state.

LA Dodgers Outfielder, and anger management class alumnus, Milton Bradley has been called everything from "perennially enflamed" to "certifiably insane." But his voice was as calm as the Dead Sea when he addressed reporters last week. Bradley sounded almost weary as he lobbed accusations of racial insensitivity at teammate Jeff Kent.

Appealing to his right-wing Christian fundamentalist supporters, President Bush continues to use federal resources to block effective birth control and undermine global strategies to fight AIDS. According to recent media reports, HIV/AIDS experts say that US cuts in funding for condoms and an emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to a shortage of condoms in Uganda.

You know U.S. Christian televangelist Pat Robertson of the Christian Coalition is tight with God. Such tightness has it privileges. One grabbing headlines now is the privilege to call for the U.S.-led liquidation of Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s president, redistributing oil revenue to his nation’s low-income majority.

WITH headlines tracking the ever-rising price of oil, the lack of any major effect of the shock on global growth has become the subject of discussion and speculation. Taking one of the many internationally traded varieties of relevance to developing Asia, the price per barrel of Dubai Fateh crude averaged $28 in February 2004, around $35 between May and December 2004, nearly $40 in February 2005, crossed $45 in March and $50 in June and stood at $55 in mid-August.

Someone needs to grab Mr. Bush by his shirt collar and shake him out of his stupor. Cloistered in Crawford and on permanent vacation, our dear President seems completely disconnected from reality. Whether it's the cries of a grieving mother camped at his front gate, or the burgeoning anti-war movement she inspires, or the snafu he unleashed in Iraq for no legitimate reason, Bush is utterly out of touch with the real world.

YEE Haaw? Yee Argh, more like. If you didn't get enough of this risible redneck apologia for southern-fried segregation during its 147 television episodes launched in 1979, you're hardly likely to take up with its dire cinematic successor.
