SHOCKING!! PAKISTAN'S MILITARY RULER IMPOSES MILITARY RULE! (AND WE DO NOTHING). The administration seeks in the Middle East and South Asia solely and exclusively to impose its will for its purposes regardless of the will of most of the citizens and regardless of the overall public good of the people. That is only democracy to the extent they believe it is democracy at home as well. Bad news, folks; really bad news.

Say Goodbye To America Nearly three-quarters of the United States Senate just passed a resolution condemning the Move On ad against the Petraeus report. In doing so, they began the elimination of free political speech and took the final step to fascism. We are there now and we are no longer a constitutional polity.

Working Harder To Make The Rich Richer New data shows Americans are the most productive workers mainly because we work so much more, but wages are flat. Data also shows our CEO's make three times more than European CEO's. We work more to make our richer richer. Period. I know you know, but read the details and weep.

The Hope of Spirit-Fueled Social Action The truest hope for our age is co-creation of a compassionate political world using the power of spirit and the irresistibility of love. All that is needed for good to prevail is for good people to get off the fence and take action -- political and social action.

Rove's Thorough Electoral Mediocrity Forget about all the deep political analysis and accurate invective, from 1994 to 2007, even Rove's main claim to fame, his electoral record, actually sucks. A former Texan explains.

WE ARE ALL THE LEAST AMONG US With Bush denying health care to poor children while cutting taxes for the rich and funding war for energy, here is a meditation on the political imperative of assessing our leader's humanity the way Jesus advised he would assess his followers: By the way they acted toward the least among them.

The REAL Reason Bush and Cheney Will Not Face Impeachment The elitist corporate shills in Congress will never move to embarrass the elitist corporate shill in the White House. Clinton was a mild threat to corporate dominionists (think Mussolini's definitions here); Bush/Cheney are their wet dream.

Supreme Corp.: Limiting Punitive Damages When Corporations Kill The United States Constitution, former protector of individual rights, is again adapted to protect massive accumulations of wealth in non-human legal fictions called corporations. Fair warning: contains some, but not too much, legalese.

The Will To Be Bound Is All We Really Have In a government based on principles, the will to remain bound to them is all that protects the people's rights. Our government is losing (or has lost) its will-ingness. Do we have the will to insist they honor our social compact?

The War Powers of Congress Contrary to conventional thinking, Congressional excuses and Presidential and media blather, Congress has tremendous Constitutional power to impact the Iraq war and stop the "surge." Its set out here. Stop letting them get away with pretending they don't.
