Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him - New York Times
Totally in keeping with this administration:
"The top climate scientist at NASA says the Bush administration has tried to stop him from speaking out since he gave a lecture last month calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases linked to global warming."

Tiananmen Square
Since the anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre is approaching and in light of Google's decision to self-censor their search engine for the criminal Chinese regime I thought this would be a good time to remember The Tiananman Square massacre

Shutting Themselves In - New York Times
Strange phenomenon in Japan highlighted in the January 15th issue of New York Times Magazine
"One morning when he was 15, Takeshi shut the door to his bedroom, and for the next four years he did not come out. He didn't go to school. He didn't have a job. He didn't have friends. Month after month, he spent 23 hours a day in a room no bigger than a king-size mattress, where he ate dumplings, rice and other leftovers that his mother had cooked, watched TV game shows and listened to Radiohead and Nirvana. 'Anything,' he said, 'that was dark and sounded desperate.'"

Al Gore Rocks!
If you missed Al Gore on C-SPAN watch it now! He absolutely skewers the adminstration for abuse of Executive Powers and breaking the law. This is not about "right" vs "left", this is about right vs wrong. I strongly believe that we must act promptly to check this brazen grab for power. Gore states the case eloquently. Why can't he be our president? Instead we have a smirking chimp who isn't even as curious about the world as "Curious George" the monkey--a smirking chimp who rewards incompetence, "doesn't do nuance", and insists on "staying the course" even if it leads us to hell.
Pikes Peak from Bob's Road
The view from the junction of the Barr Trail with Bob's Road, over 9,000' elevation, January 15th, 2006: a photo I took during a loop run from Manitou Springs via the Ute Pass Trail, Longs Ranch Road, Bob's Road, and return to Manitou on the Barr Trail. As I popped out on the Barr Trail just after taking this picture I met a climber returning from the summit of Pikes. He had started his trek at 11:30 P.M. the previous night and had stood on the summit under a full moon at 6:30 that morning. 
Interview: Mark Crispin Miller Connects the Dots
Buzzflash Interviews Mark Crispin Miller:
"The subversion of electoral democracy ... takes vast planning and tremendous effort, and a ton of laundered cash. In short, it has to be that movement's main concern; and I believe that it is Bush/Cheney's main concern, and that it is the main concern of the regime's most fervent backers."
...
"Here's another pertinent story that the press recently ignored - a story about 2004. A few weeks ago, it came out that ACORN [Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now] had prevailed in all three trials - two in Florida, one in Ohio - where they'd been sued for "voter fraud" by GOP-connected law firms. The last of the three cases was "dismissed with prejudice." This is highly significant, since ACORN's legendary criminality had long been trumpeted by right-wing propagandists as a veritable sea of evidence that all the fraud out there was Democratic handiwork. Nearly all the lurid propaganda tales of Democratic "voter fraud" concerned ACORN. Vented by a multitude of rightist pols and pundits, those tales ended up in countless mainstream news reports that airily referred to fraud committed "by both sides" in the 2004 campaign.
The point of such fake "balance" was, of course, to skirt the inconvenient fact that the season's vast election fraud was primarily the work of the Republicans. Indeed, even if the propaganda stories about ACORN were all true, there would still be no comparison between such trivial Democratic monkey business and the systematic and collective perfidy of the Bush Republicans."

Political Compass Litmus Test
Found this Political Compass Litmus Test on Dr. Kathleen Reardon's home page via Huffington Post. How would George W. Bush answer? Cheney?:
__When a mistake is made, I don't automatically insist on rigid adherence to the course.
__Power is a dangerous vehicle and I don't abuse it.
__Shaping my personal history is less important to me than constructively shaping the future of this country for all of its citizens.
__When a crisis occurs, the buck does indeed stop here?
__I surround myself with thinkers whose views may differ from my own and I listen and learn from them.
__Honesty and accuracy dictate my interactions with the people at whose behest I serve.
__There is a line at which politics becomes pernicious and I refuse to cross it.
__ War is a last resort.
__ My power is as a negotiator, not as a bully.
__I strive daily to be a person of integrity.
Ten points for each “True.” It’s a start.

Give 'Em Hell Harry | If we can beat mob, we can fight DeLay-style politics
Harry Reid: "My term on the gaming commission came to an end in 1981, and when it did, I thought I had seen such corruption for the last time. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. It is not quite the mafia of Las Vegas in the 1970s, but what is happening today in Washington is every bit as corrupt and the consequences for our country have been severe.
Our nation’s capital has been overrun by organized crime � Tom DeLay-style."
