Here is an open letter from the poet Sharon Olds to Laura Bush declining the invitation to read and speak at the National Book Critics Circle Award in Washington, DC.

If you missed Bob Jensen's speech at last Friday's HPJC annual awards
dinner, or want to hear it again, or want to tell your friends about
it, don't miss "The Progressive Forum" program tonight on KPFT.

The GAO has also just released a report on the electronic voting machines use in Ohio. The report suggests the election could have been stolen, that the machines are extremely vulnerable to tampering in many different ways that would be undetectable and that what the critics have been saying is not b.s. but highly likely. This means that the ones who were saying the radical from the start and taking heat for it even from there own party members were right. They were right. I was right. A lot of us were right. Well, I feel better now.

here are some facts for anyone still doubting that the 2004 election was stolen.  fortunately for all of us, some very brave and dedicated people are continuing to investigate and furnish facts.  ~r

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM PULLS A FAST ONE TO ABORT HABEAS CORPUS

With virtually no advance notice the Republican majority in the Senate (with the shameful complicity of Democrats Conrad, Landrieu, Lieberman, [Ben] Nelson, and Wyden) approved a last minute amendment to the Defense Authorization Act to deny U.S. courts jurisdiction to examine the legality of detainee detention in Guantanamo and elsewhere. They did this in defiance of the not yet completely packed Supreme Court (another reason to reject Alito), whose authority they would annul. This is all despite the well-known FACT that many scooped up into these hell holes of torture are not terrorists at all, some even having been sold for bounty. Senator Bingaman immediately responded with a proposed corrective amendment (S.AMDT.2517) to restore jurisdiction.

He's making the case that the heart of the democratic party, it's mission, was basically cut out about 30 years ago by a new chairman who was also a corporate attorney power broker. Not much of a stretch to belive for some. So now we have to turn the feeling of voting into a joyous acknowledgement of community, by campaigning for the people. Instead of to the people.

why? I mean if it were him who was calling the shots, hey, wait a minute. Has Bush gone bonkers and actually thrown a temper tantrum at his handlers. I am the PRESIDENT. Because the speech he gave was very unpatriotic and more ranting, defensive and distasteful for Vets day.

anyone who has emailed the new york 'Daily News' newspaper about this from this or the previous posting, let me know please.
