People Were Killed by Three Mile Island and Other Nuclear Disasters
One of the biggest lies ever told in American industrial history is that "no one died at Three Mile Island."
In the frenzy to get public funding for still more nuclear reactors, some industry backers now say no one has ever been killed by the nuclear industry AT ALL.
These absurd statements reflect atomic energy's desperate need for federal loan guarantees, which have been slipped into the Energy Bill now before Congress.

Will Bush cancel the 2008 election?
(14 comments)
But we must also assume that if it appears to Team Bush/Cheney/Rove that the GOP will lose the 2008 election anyway (as it lost in Ohio 2006) we cannot ignore the possibility that they would simply cancel the election. Those who think this crew will quietly walk away from power are simply not paying attention.The real question is not how or when they might do it.It's how, realistically,we can stop them.

Peace Be With You, Kurt Vonnegut
As the media fills with whimsical good-byes to one of America's greatest writers, lets not forget one of the great engines driving this wonderful man-he HATED war. Including this one in Iraq. And he had utter contempt for the men who brought it about.

Will a shocking new GOP court victory and Karl Rove's attack on Ohio '06 doom the Democrats nationwide?

Will Ken Blackwell find the ways to steal Ohio 2006 as he did in 2004?
Since 2000, under Blackwell's supervision, Boards of Elections in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo have eliminated some 500,000 voters from their registration rolls. Nearly all are in heavily Democratic urban areas. In a state where some 5.6 million people voted for president in 2004, this represents nearly 10% of the electorate. George W. Bush's alleged majority in Ohio 2004 was roughly 118,000 votes.

A loaves & fishes/Holy Ghost victory for the GOP in November?
(4 comments)
It will take just two Biblical fixes for the GOP to keep the Congress, and thus solidify their power in this country, possibly forever: a loaves and fishes vote count, a Holy Ghost turnout. The Republicans honed their skills for stealing elections in 2004, and have institutionalized the mechanisms in the intervening months. Democrats won't speak the name of this crime, and cry 'conspiracy theory!' when anyone else does.

Court victory lets preserved Ohio 2004 ballots tell new tales of theft and fraud as indictments and convictions mount
So far, even the limited inspection of ballots has yielded astonishing results. Three precincts in two counties have shown consecutive runs of Bush votes that qualify as "virtual statistical impossibilities."Only a fraction of 88 counties have received even passing scrutiny. But the early indicators are that Ohio 2004 may ultimately prove out to have been the dirtiest and most obviously stolen election in US history.

Movie Review: Stealing America...Vote by Vote (or The Crime of the Century)
The sum effect of STEALING AMERICA: Vote by Vote is to enable us to understand in no uncertain terms that we either act on this issue, or we lose what few threads remain of our precious democracy. Fadiman wisely ends STEALING AMERICA with first-person testimonials of citizens who have taken the issue into their own hands, as did our nation's founders more than 200 years ago, in opposition to another George.

Saving the ballot evidence from Ohio 2004
The 2004 Ohio presidential electoral college slate became the first ever challenged in its entirety, leading to a historical debate in the U.S. Congress in January 2005. These ballots are essential to political scientists, historians and other interested parties that wish to sort out the controversies and irregularities that surrounded Ohio's 2004 election.

Tom Friedman's Walter Cronkite moment
The tragedy now is that George W. Bush has neither the intelligence nor the integrity nor the heart to call a halt to the slaughter. And if the GOP stranglehold on the machinery of the American vote count is left unchallenged, the next occupant of the White House will certainly be no better.

RFK and Rolling Stone nail Ohio's stolen 2004 election, but much more must be done
Now we'll see if there's any further media follow-up. And if the Democratic Party actually DOES SOMETHING about the fact that America is about to be hijacked again in 2006, and then for the third straight presidential race in 2008.

Freaked-out fundamentalists fear DAVINCI for its fierce feminism
(2 comments)
Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene? Did they have a daughter?
Questions about Christ's love life will dominate debate over the release of the DAVINCI CODE this weekend.
The answers do matter. But what really counts is the story's pagan/feminist core, and its role in the Culture War.
