  If you are sitting in class taking a test, and youve chosen to sit amongst your bone-headed, slacker friends, dont turn to them for help when you cant figure out of any of the answers.

  President Obama, in his visit to China, held a "town meeting" with Chinese students in which he praised openness and lectured them on the value of freedom of information, saying that he is a "supporter of non-censorship" and that open access to information was a "source of strength." And yet America is hardly free of ...

  BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash — Authority: 150
  The ongoing absolutism in Congress in trying to prevent women -- or at least poor women -- from obtaining abortions is one of the more shameful spectacles in America.

  I never thought Id find myself thanking the women-loathing, Christian fundamentalist-pandering Democrats in Congress for anything, but here it is: Thank you, Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI), for your outrageous amendment to the House version of the health insurance reform legislation in Congress, which bars any ...

  With word being leaked out over the weekend that our Nobel Peace Prize president is close to announcing plans to escalate the U.S. troop level in the Afghanistan War by 50%, we are about to have perhaps the ultimate of ironies -- a president announcing a big step-up in American war-making on November 11, the day known ...

  As the strike by transit workers in Philadelphia enters its fifth day, it is clear why unions have such a tough time in the United States, where fewer than one in eight workers is covered by a union contract. Although the average pay of transit workers is just $50,000 a year (that represents take-home pay of less ...

  Ordinary, average, struggling Americans might be scratching their heads over the news today, as the Labor Department reports that unemployment is up by four-tenths of a percent for the month to a record 10.2%, fully three-tenths of a percent higher than economists had been forecasting, and stocks do what? Rise by a ...

  It would be easy to read too much into the few statewide races that were decided last night, but I think its fair to say that the results in New Jersey and Virginia, where Republican gubernatorial candidates won -- in New Jerseys case knocking off a well-funded Democratic incumbent -- that the results were a blow to ...

  Country Joe McDonald said it best in his iconic "Fixin to Die" Rag : "Oh, its one, two, three, what are we fightin for? Dont ask me. I dont give a damn." In fact, we were fighting for nothing in Vietnam. It was a war that started out because the U.S. didnt want the Commies to win a battle in the so-called Cold War, ...

  BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash — Authority: 150
  If you listen to the happy-talk folks at Treasury and the Fed, and on the tube, youd think things had finally turned a corner.

• Dave Lindorff: Our Nuclear Hypocrisy

  
  BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash — Authority: 150
  How absurd is it that we have the government on the one hand pulling back from using a hollowed out mountain in Nevada to store nuclear waste because of a fear (legitimate, I grant) that hundreds or thousands of years hence, some earthquake or other catastrophe could cause the stored waste to leak into the water ...
