Anger Greets Colin Powell as Protesters Are Evicted in Santa Barbara 
Angry throngs bedecked in a dazzling array of costumes, sporting signs and guerrilla theatre regalia opposed Colin Powell on his self-serving speaking engagement where he waxed profound on general themes of leadership and barely mentioned his role in the lead up to the bloody Iraq war. Protesters were forcibly evicted by a coterie of muscle men as apparent supporters of the alleged war criminal chided them and the venue manager refused to refund the $50 ticket price....

In a letter sent out to the Department of Labor Office of Labor Management Services (OLMS) Doug details the Loveall Leaderships many business ventures taken on while they are raking down big bucks to represent us.

CA Medical Board ignores executioner docs: "We don't get involved in ethical violations". When the physicans who aided and abetted torture of human beings in Abu Gharaib, "Gitmo", or wherever come to California after military service, will the Board allow ex-torturers to start caring for patients? Hey - Alberto Gonzales tells us it's all legal - no criminal activity here.
So if you call the medical board (1-800-633-2322), maybe they can explain to you - if executioners can be doctors, why not torturers? Why not cannibals?
Heck, it's just that pesky ethical stuff - ...

DiFi and the Royal Democrats: The Curious Withdrawal of Cindy Sheehan Last week, that noble antiwarrior, Cindy Sheehan, declined to challenge Senator Diane Feinstein in the upcoming Democratic primary. Ms Sheehan reiterated that Party officials had not pressured her against running. It reminded me of how the Party had so thoroughly squashed the stridently anti-war candidacy of Howard Dean in 2004, that every time the good doctor surfaces now to speak, he’s looking over his shoulder.
Feinstein should be challenged. Feinstein is one of the “Royal Democrats,"...
