Bart Stupak’s amendment to prevent anyone receiving a federal subsidy from buying a health insurance plan that covers abortions is a shocking attack on women on welfare. What’s [...]

Plan B: A Welcome "Miscarriage" of Justice
According to the New York Times, a federal judge ruled yesterday that Plan B (levonorgestrel), will be made available over the counter to women who are seventeen or older. The judge, Edward R. Korman, a Reagan-appointee, stated that there had been “political considerations, delays and implausible justifications” on the part of the F.D.A. The NYT [...]

Speaking Truth To Power: The Canary In the Coalmine (Literally)
Fight the Culture of Hate! Vincent Navarro, formerly Jesse Jackson’s senior health advisor in the ’84 and ’88 Primaries, tells it like it is over at Counterpunch: HillaryCare Failed. That’s right, folks, the experienced cynical candidate might not have an advantage over the young, hopeful candidate. The experienced candidate might have been involved in a [...]

Antonin Scalia:Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Concentration Camps
As if we needed reasons to fear and loathe Antonin Scalia, we’ve just received another. (WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST IS DISTURBING.) No, it’s not that hunting trip he took with Cheney – wikipedia offers that “Scalia refused, however, to recuse himself in the case of Cheney v. United States District Court for the District of [...]

Good God!: Religious Violence, Imperialist Violence, Violent-Violence.
As the New York Times pointed out recently, U.S. Iraq War Veterans have been killing people. I mean, not just people from another place, but people in our country. Flabbergasting, isn’t it? We train people to kill non-US citizens, and then they kill US citizens. You’d think all people were created equal or something. So [...]

Hate Is Not a Family Value: the Megan Williams Case
The egregious facts of the Megan Williams case must be an embarrassment to most Americans, because that’s the only lame excuse I can think of to explain why, as $3.60 points out, this is taking a backseat to Vanessa Hudgens in the nude.

Free the Jena 6, Symbolism, and Political Fashion
So, most importantly, for those of you who might not have heard about the Jena 6, here’s the story. In brief, it’s about a group of black kids who sat under a tree that was a “traditionally white” hangout spot in the mostly white town of Jena, Louisiana, last December. The next day, there were [...]
