Arianna’s new web site

If I haven’t mentioned it before, Arianna has relaunched her campaign web site: http://www.ariannaforgov.com/
Very nice. Although I still think she needs a Dean style fundraising “bat” and a minute by minute update on campaign progess and statistics.

Go Arianna! Go Camejo!

My reaction to the Daily Kos bashing Arianna for running…
Go Arianna! Go Camejo!
You bet us California liberals and progressives are going to Naderize this election and Cruz Bustamante! We’re going to happily and enthusiastically campaign for Camejo and Huffington all up and down the state and in email… till the bitter end. And we’re […]

Alexander Cockburn on the “Glorious Recall”

[This is the sound of denial. How dare Greens and other progressives disrupt Dean’s tidy little march to the Democratic nomination and the head of the American progressive movement by pointing out that the emperor has no clothes? How dare we not sucuumb to the type of “lesser of two evils” politics of “pragmatism” that […]

Huffington enters, upstages Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger appeared to be unsettled by Huffington, who timed her entrance just as he emerged from his SUV. The media pundit and author of “How to Overthrow the Government,” Huffington — dressed in an elegant tan pinstriped suit and spike heels — glided […]

The cost of the war in Iraq

[The counter above comes from this site. -Thomas]
Cost of War
War affects everyone, not just those directly involved in the fighting. This webpage is a simple attempt to demonstrate one of the more quantifiable effects of war: the financial burden it places on our tax dollars.

Manifestations of American imperialism a sign of weakness?

LAST DAYS OF EMPIRE
http://dominionpaper.ca/features/2003/the_conceited_empire.htmlhttp://dominionpaper.ca/features/2003/the_conceited_empire.html
[From an interview with French historian and demographer Emmanuel Todd.
“There will be no American Empire.” According to Todd, whose 1976 book
predicted the fall of the Soviet Union, there is no question: the
decline of America the Superpower has already begun.]
DOMINION, CA - The US is still the most powerful nation […]

Arianna for Governor

War Pigs Trample The Poor

[This should leave any thinking person shaking with rage. And will electing a Democrat make one iota of difference? Will it really change anything? I don’t think so! Yeah, the Democrats might cut things a little bit less, might tax a little bit more, might keep a few more people off the street… laudable goals, […]

The rest of the world think’s we are insane…

[This article demonstrates the level of alarm Bush’s reckless behavior has generated abroad. Nevertheless, I have to say, against the grain of what many other folks around me think, I don’t think that things are quite this bad. George Bush is certainly bad, but I think folks on my side of the fence have kind […]
