More lunancies from Iraq

The news from Iraq gets ever more bizarre… and while nothing matches the Chalabi/Iran connection, the following two items demonstrate the Bizarro mirror-world nature of events in Iraq.
If the fact that the U.S. Government is paying $1.50/gallon for gas in neighboring countries (which not incidentally keeps a fleet of 4,200! tank trucks constantly on the […]

Assembly Judiciary Committee staff analysis of AB1967 (Leno) legalizing same-sex marriage in California

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_1967_cfa_20040419_160046_asm_comm.html
This is fascinating, especially the detailed exploration of the constitutional issues (California state constitution)… the basic conclusion is that the CA Supreme Court is very likely to rule against denying same-sex couples marriage licenses (i.e., to legalize same-sex marriage). Would appear that there is a lot to be optomistic about on that front.

THE UNMAKING OF A PRESIDENT-2004

THE UNMAKING OF A PRESIDENT-2004
By Carl Jensen
Howard Dean supporters across the country were surprised when they
woke up Tuesday morning, January 19, to read reports of Dean’s
unexpected third place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
What happened?
Gov. Dean started 2003 with little name recognition and even less
campaign funding. Through the summer he spread the old familiar theme
of power […]

Rebuttal to attacks against consensus as a decision making process.

In reaction to a flame about the dysfunctional nature of “consensus” based decision making processes by the editor of Politics in the Zeros, I posted the following comment:
Consensus is an essential aspect of the Green perspective on the political process, and crucial to the movement’s identity as an authentic alternative to the status quo. Abandoning […]

Kucinich on Kerry

[Really now… how are those of us on the “left” supposed to stomach Kerry? The logic of “Anybody But Bush Again” palls when the alternative is unpalatable enough… and even absent that, being willing to hold your nose and cast a vote for the lesser of two evils is a far cry from being willing […]
