Public Enemy Number One
By Stephen Lendman - October 28, 2008
A note before beginning. This article focuses on today's financial and economic crisis. Not affairs of state, war and peace or geopolitics. No guessing who's number one under those headings. That said...Now defrocked as the "maestro" of misery: Alan Greenspan.
How Much Do the Differences Between Obama and Bush Really Matter?
By ANDREW GEBHARDT - November 3, 2008
Obama enthusiasts tend to get annoyed or depressed when his similarities to Bush and McCain are pointed out...But Obama is not identical to Bush and McCain, and those differences, both rhetorical and actual (such as his pro-choice stance), do matter. How much they matter depends on your perspective.
Sarah Palin and the Infamous Three G's
By Frazer Merritt - November 4, 2008
After eight long years of incompetence and shameful blunders under neoconservative rule, I never thought I'd see this again in my lifetime: a presidential ticket that espouses major tax cuts for big corporations and the filthy rich, across-the-board deregulation, oil drilling to solve our energy crises, denial of climate change's causes, expansion of market-based healthcare, and kooky religious attitudes towards science and the fate of the world.

Anti Palin Protest Largest in Alaska History
Funny how the mainstream media forgot to mention an anti-Palin protest by Alaskan women early this month. The rally was the largest in Alaskan history as women and men voiced their disdain over Governor Sarah Palin, contrary to the multi media hype about her popularity.
