awful

the supreme court has denied mumia a new trial. now, it pretty much boils down to whether he will spend his life in prison, or be executed by the state.

a new report has come out which says that the u.s and nato have killed 3,200 civilians in afghanistan since 2005. today was the 7 year anniversary of our bombing of afghanistan. by march of 2002, 5 months into the war, the u.s bombing had already killed more civilians than were killed in 9/11 (2800) something to remember...killing afghanis doesn't mean we are battling terror. rather, killing afghanis is terror. this war is no better than the war in iraq.


mccain wants to cut the medicare and medicaid budget by 1.3 trillion dollars.

while palin was giving a speech, someone from the crowd yelled "kill him" about obama. palin said nothing in response.

a mccain spokesperson said they don't want to talk about the economy, because if they talk about the economy, they will lose.

much has been said about obama's relationship with bill ayers and reverend wright. the funny thing is, these are probably the two best guys obama knows. in fact, he barely knows ayers. they live in the same neighborhood, and have worked for a couple of the same non profits. in short, it sounds like he is about as close to ayers as i am to virginia pratt.

while we are hearing a lot about ayers, we are not hearing about the number of people ayers killed, and that's because he didn't kill anybody, unlike the government he opposed as a member of the weathermen. mccain, by the way, actually dropped bombs on living, breathing people. there is nothing symbolic about that kind of terrorism. sadly, it is that kind of terrorism, which also goes by the name of war, that obama supports in afghanistan. so, if it is terrorists we are out to get, let's not bother with ayers.

let's start with the white house and work our way down.
