Jim Webb's DADT Mistake To my disappointment, a lone Democrat in the Senate Committee -- Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, a Vietnam veteran -- opposed the act to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", citing Pentagon reluctance.

Pope Condemns Gay Marriage But Covers Up Pedophilia So I guess it's OK to molest young boys as long as you don't try to marry them...

BP Needs a New Logo I used to think that BP was rare among oil companies, because its ads expressed a concern for the environment, and the company was allegedly also working on alternative energy sources... But then my bubble burst...

Kevorkian vs. Death Panels: There Is a Huge Difference He's back: Dr. Jack Kevorkian, aka "Dr. Death" - advocate for euthanasia and assisted suicide, or what many of us see as the right of terminally ill patients to choose a quick and dignified death over a painful, lingering one.

Arizona - The Hate State? In the past, I never imagined that Arizona was a state full of xenophobic right-wing extremists. But recent events seem to suggest that it is -- at least inside the State Capitol and law enforcement circles.

Racism Then and Now Even as Barack Obama sits in the Oval Office, we have not yet achieved Dr. King's dream of a post-racial America. Not even close.

How Christian Is the Pope, Really? The independent and foreign press have written much in the past about the current pope's ongoing cover-ups of clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church. Now the American mainstream media are finally catching on. But it's long overdue. So here is a history.

Sarah Barracuda Flirts with Violence Is Palin inciting violence, or merely choosing her words carelessly? In either case, it's inexcusable.

In Death Row Case, Supreme Court Came Through But Texas Remains Guilty On March 24, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of execution for Texas death row inmate Hank Skinner. The stay will allow the Court more time to consider Skinner's civil rights claim that he is entitled to DNA testing which he believes will prove his innocence. The news came just one hour before Skinner was to be strapped to the gurney.

The Far-Right Fringe: Armed, Bigoted, and Dangerous It was scary enough when some people showed up at town hall meetings last summer with loaded guns. But those seemed like isolated incidents. Now, however, even the unarmed tea partiers are resorting to more and more extreme displays of bigotry and hate.

The Truth About Tort Reform In reality, it's not about the trial lawyers. It's about the legal rights of everyday people who suddenly find themselves victims of preventable medical errors.

In Tea Party Address, Palin Stokes the Anti-Rights Fire On February 6th, Sarah Palin gave the keynote address at a tea party convention in Nashville. As expected, I disagreed with just about everything Palin said. However, there was one part of her speech in particular that really got my blood boiling: She propagated the lie that the would-be Christmas airline bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, stopped talking after he was read his Miranda rights.

A Giant Leap Towards Fascism What we have now is not government of the people, by the people, and for the people. What we have now is government of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations. And that is exactly how Mussolini defined fascism.

No Excuse for Racial Profiling The failed attempt on Christmas Day to blow up a Northwest Airlines plane has some people calling for racial profiling. In fact, a recent USA Today/Gallup poll shows that an alarming majority of Americans support ethnic profiling. However, I contend that this is a misguided reaction that can actually be counterproductive. And the attempted Christmas bombing is no excuse for it.
