Internal Green Party Debate on 2004 Presidential Campaign

[ Not a simple issue - there are substantial liabilities to not running a candidate, in terms of lost ballot status, qualifications for funding, etc. Not to mention NOT scaring the Democrats and holding them accountable. -Thomas]

Real Class Warfare, TomPaine.Com style

You Want Class Warfare? I’ll Give You Class Warfare

My Church’s Mass for the Gay and Lesbian Community

[My church has always been open to queer folk… one of our founders was openly gay, Richard Luc DePalatine, and I think we’ve had openly gay clergy our entire existence. It is not a “gay church”, but one that makes no distinctions in that area. However, we do have an institution that has been established […]

International Green News

[Another reason why the Green Party isn’t going to fade away… international prominence. The world is our stage, the United States is just another nation-state… did the Republican Party in the South disappear even after decades of near irrelevancy? No - because it was visible and successful elsewhere. News of our success comes from all […]

Citizens Police Review Board to be killed by Santa Cruz City Council

[Normally, my friend Robert Norse’s screeds make me wince, lacking all delicacy, etc. and often alienating vastly more people than they convince, in my mind - I have personal experience with this, such a flyer having potentially cost me a major endorsement when I ran for City Council. However - this time, the actions of […]

Signs from SF Anti-War Rally

I didn’t go (too much else to do this weekend), but a friend of mine posted an email with the following list:
This is what the electoral college gets you!
Drop Bush, not bombs!
United we Stand - Against Bush.
Bush is an empty warhead.
Prune that Nasty Bush!
The REAL Axis of Evil: Cheney, Bush and Ashcroft

Carol Moseley-Braun for President?

[This seems unlikely, given that she’s a one-term U.S. Senator who was defeated when she ran for re-election, and hasn’t much of a profile nationally. But she’d be a hell of a contrast to the 100% rich, older white male class that the Dem. establishment has put forward. … o.k., a totally cynical thought just […]

31

Well, I’m long past the “don’t trust anyone over thirty” phase of my life, I guess. I now qualify as “old”… I still remember sitting on a bus in high school, listening to these two junior high girls yammer on… nothing particularly interesting, until out of the blue, one of them squeals, in the most […]

Estate Tax

[Prompted by a quote from Bill Gates, Sr. in an interview about his opposition to the repeal of the estate tax, I did a Google search for information on the topic… most of what came up was right wing propaganda in favor of reducing it, but when I found this, I thought it was worth […]

Clarence Thomas to get $1,000,000+ advance for autobiography - the right wing takes care of it’s own, once again.

[A reasonable person might question whether or not this is one in a long pattern of suspect publishing decisions where large quantities of money are directed to prominent individuals for works of dubious literary or economic worth. See this 1995 article in Mother Jones for a list of examples. See also this 1998 article in […]
