Our longshoremen walked out in Oakland but it got scant coverage here on the West Coast. I really feel the focus is off the war on and the economy. The suffering of civilians in Irak is barbaric - how is it all going to end.</p> Siun – great piece. Our longshoremen walked out in Oakland but it got scant coverage here on the West Coast.

Credibility and viability will drain away from (D) captured Netroots when a Democratic President continues and expands the Imperial bloodshed in the middle east.

I was raised on a love of Van Gogh … my father taught me at age 2 to say Papa Van Gogh when he pointed to the prints he’s hung all over our apt so that is a special place for me and makes me smile and get teary all at once.</p> I will check – I think the renovation is still ongoing but some folks feel that actually makes the Rijksmuseum more approachable.

Not our congressional leadership. Despite the continuing war crimes, Congress moved forward on their plans to sign another blank check for the Iraq occupation – and this week the Senate Armed Services Committee unanimously voted to make Iraq pay for reconstuction and more. As Carl Levin said:

“The American taxpayers are paying for too many things . . . that the Iraqis ought to pay for out of their surplus,

Nancy Pelosi chimed in, saying the House would add similar language to it’s appropriations:

“We’ve spent a fortune on infrastructure in Iraq when we have deficits in infrastructure in our country.”

One, two, three, four– who and what are we fighting for?

May I ask, what “surplus” do the Iraqis have???

This is why I have criticized the Dems as well as the Thugs!!!!!!!
