An Austere GOP Hearts the Ruining of Americaby Jude CowellIf you’re anything like me, you’re having some difficulty keeping current your Shock Doctrine Politicians scorecard, so you may benefit from a list with their names, birth data, and a few of their astrological details.

GOP v Workers — and Women
International Womens Day 2011: Hanging By a Thread in America?by Jude CowellWith their assaults on Workers Rights coming soon to a state near you, notice that the GOP has shown the gall to attack Women’s Rights, too. Isn’t misogyny passe? Now if you, dear reader, voted GOP or TP in November 2010, it’s difficult for me to believe of you that rolling back women’s hard-won rights was any part of
Horoscope: Libya (w Feb 21, 2011 transits)
See CNN’s timeline of the unrest in Libya, and here is this morning’s coverage on NPR – have a listen if you missed it.Last I heard (on Democracy Now!), over 300 Libyans have been killed in the last few days.

Chomsky: Peak Oil, Climate Change, Tea Partisans (video)
For rational, realistic perspectives on Global Warming (aka, Climate Change) and Peak Oil, try this 20 minute 4 second video first broadcast on January 3, 2011 by The Nation magazine.

If Ron Paul runs for president in 2012 (video)
Here’s a video of 2008 candidate Ron Paul where he expresses precisely and succinctly what an out-of-control US government has done and why the Republican Party cannot fairly exclude him for his conservative views: of all the Ron Paul videos, this may be my favorite and shows why Dr. Paul’s candidacy should be viable in 2012 if we want America to continue to exist as a nation.Not that he’ll be
