SF Bay Guardian rips into Democratic Central Committee for anti-Green resolutions

[As Sam Smith says… the Greens are the only constituency the Democrats seem to believe can be convinced by insult. Nonsense like this just accelerates the defection of progressives away from the Democratic Party. Which, from a Green perspective, isn’t that bad… but doesn’t do much for cross-party progressive alliances. -Thomas]

Peter Camejo on Arianna Huffington candidacy

screwed on straight… I don’t know how he is going to manage this process,
but it should be interesting. -Thomas]

CA State Senate passes Republican budget plan…

[All I can say is that I hope the Assembly Democrats have more spine, and don’t blink first like their colleagues in the State Senate… Davis’ political hide and a 14 point pop to his poll numbers isn’t worth the pain that this budget will inflict on poor and working folks. -Thomas]

Dean: “moderate or centrist”

Oliver Willis comments approvingly on Dean’s real record in Vermont.
So this is the guy that America’s mainstream progressive movement is getting all hot and bothered by?
And yeah, I’m vaguely annoyed by the Dean campaign’s apparent willingness to embrace the idea that a candidate should be judged by their ability to raise money (must be the […]

Mobilization Activists Blast Sacramento City Council For Suppressing Free Speech With Unconstitutional Ordinances
by Dan Bacher
Dissident Voice
July 29, 2003

The Sacramento City Council appears to be doing John Ashcroft’s dirty work
by passing two unconstitutional ordinances, 2003-026 and 2003-028, that
suppress freedom of speech. The Council unanimously voted for the secretive
resolutions on June 17, just prior to the USDA […]

Great Shrub quote from Michael Moore’s “Stupid White Men” desktop calendar

“It’s amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency. It wasn’t exactly a landslide, you know?” –George W. Bush, speaking to Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson, unaware that a live television camera was still rolling on June 14th, 2001.

… yes, quite amazing. And the Democrats blame us Greens instead of their own […]

Horrific quote in Michael Moore’s “Stupid White Men” desktop calendar

“I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest-wage country is impeccable…. I’ve always thought that under-populated countries in AFrica are vastly under-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City.” –Laurence Summers, chief economist of the World Bank in 1991
