Black Robbers Maybe true, maybe not. Amusing but with a bite. It's worth thinking about a bit and says a lot about our country and the vast color divide.

US Intelligence? Not Even Close No one should expect Cisco, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and other digital giants to stand up against the NSA or lead a serious movement against the surveillance state. A far better bet is that individual scientists and technicians will create spy-free alternatives, and many of their efforts will find homes beyond US borders.

DOJ opposes national security whistleblower protections A promise by presidential candidate Barack Oabama fell by the wayside on Thursday when President Obama's Justice Department argued against a badly needed reform of whistleblower protection law. The surprise reversal on whistleblower protections comes on the heels of administration reversals of policy on military tribunals for terrorism suspects and the release of torture photos.

David Bronner Gives $1 Million to Fight Big Ag in GMO Labeling Vote Over 99% of GMO crops in US soil are engineered to survive high doses of herbicide and/or produce their own insecticide. Overdosing our farms in pesticides has rapidly created a resistance in target weed and insect populations, so now we have "superweeds" and "superbugs" that aren't killed with normal doses of pesticides. We have the right to know if our food is engineered to be saturated in pesticides.

Is The History Channel Pushing Right Wing Smears Of The Kennedys? I've read the script. It's ridiculous, sexually exploitative, revolting stuff - everything you'd expect from a conservative re-writing of history. In my previous life, I produced and directed over 55 movies, mini-series and feature films. I thought I had pretty much seen anything and everything. But this garbage, coming so soon after Senator Ted Kennedy's death, makes the worst commercial schlock look Oscar-worthy.

238 presidential scholars: Bush worst president of modern era, fifth worst in US history Bush was rated second from the bottom on "intelligence," "foreign policy accomplishments," and "handling of U.S. economy." This despite promises from Bush supporters that "history will be very kind" to the former president.

Dispatch from the front lines of the Wisconsin DMV I'd bet a huge number of those folks had a lot of other,better,and perhaps wage-earning things to do with their time as did the loved ones in their care.How many others-with unyielding schedules, dependents to care for,lack of knowledge,or simple frustration-didn't even make it into line that day? How many,if refused as we were,would have left and stayed away?Efficiency.Access.Civility. Rights.Something that shouldn't seem

Clarence Thomas: It's Time for YOU to apologize to Anita Hill Amidst the controversy, conservatives rushed the swearing in of Thomas. On the very day of his swearing in, the Washington Post had amassed damning evidence that corroborated Hill's testimony, including eyewitness accounts about Thomas' porn consumption from the manager of his local video store. Jeffrey Toobin reported that the Washington Post decided to drop the story since Thomas had already been sworn in to the court.

Al Franken: Oppose Comcast's Swallowing Up NBC As you know, the proposed merger between Comcast and NBC Universal is an important moment in our effort to stop big corporations from controlling our media. But the FCC and Department of Justice may be about to approve this deal. This would have serious consequences for Minnesotans and consumers across America.

Israel and Iran: Is Netanyahu Winning or Losing? Stuck in the here and now, we can only judge Bibi Netanyahu as the nightmare man he plays on television. His latest drama is to push Washington to demand that the Iranians give up enrichment and most other elements of even a peaceful nuclear program. Call it chutzpah on steroids.

Activists: Israeli boat raiders had "assassination list" In a conference call organized by The Israel Project, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) told reporters that activists participating in the flotilla were aiding Hamas and therefore breaking US law. "And so I will be asking the Attorney General to prosecute any American involved in what was clearly an effort to give items of value to a terrorist organization."

Breaking news: House votes to defund Planned Parenthood Anti-choice lawmakers' attacks today are just plain irresponsible. Cutting funding for Planned Parenthood and other health centers would leave at least five million women and men without access to basic health care. Where will these people go for critical services? We must make a big statement right now to call on the Senate to say no to this devastating cut. Help us send 50,000 emails to the Senate in the next seven days.

January's racist Elle cover Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appears on the January cover of Elle magazine, but she's outraged by the image. Her skin appears far more pale than it is in real life. Elle claims to celebrate women of color by featuring them on magazine covers, but this is the second time in just six months that Elle has blatantly made women of color more white. (The last controversy surrounded Precious actress Gabourney Sidibe.)
