American Samizdat

Capitalism may very well be the best way to run an economy.

It is not the best way to run a world.

Globalize Democracy (.org)

I am not anti-capitalist. I am against a capitalism unfettered. With no limits, the most driving and powerful force in society becomes: "Make More Money." In an economy based on ideas, this unrestrained growth model might prove inspiring; in an economy based on the unsustainable harvesting of the planet's limited natural resources--this model becomes a cancer.

They say 3 leads spy a trend:

1) Daschle Dissents . . . and Fark displays their usual rabid right-wing leanings by describing this link as "Daschle refuses to apologize for giving comfort to the enemy. Liberal media says nothing" with the added graphic signaling "ASININE." Fark, you kids crack me up. Is 8th grade as bad as I remember?

With Daschle's dissent, a fever breaks.

2) EPA Official Resigns In Protest Over White House Energy Policy. Inside source tells Dr. Menlo this [pp.]: "They [within the EPA] say Whitman [Christine Todd, former Governor of New Jersey] isn't that bad--she comes up with some good stuff, but when she kicks it up the chain it gets immediately ripped up by Cheney." Inside source also avers with the common beltway knowledge that it is "Cheney and the Oilmen" who are really running things--common knowledge to those in the world who are used to cracking books in ways not involving fire and J.K. Rawling.

3) [and my fav] The link below posted by Gordon Coale illustrating the stunning success of the latest Michael Moore book: "Stupid White Men." These numbers don't jibe with the so-called "polls" which trumpet the brain-fry called Bush.

Has an Anti-Bush Renaissance already begun?

Bush is roundly described as "completely uncurious." Pulitzer-prize winning author of latest Theo bio backs this up on Charlie Rose [pp.]:"He doesn't read. He isn't curious. He seems to feel he already knows all he needs to know." --That last sentence, isn't that the ipsa facto definition of a moron?
