Republicans Move To Stealthily Steal Electoral Votes In CA

If every state allocated electoral votes on a pro rata basis, the Electoral College would become unnecessary. Personally, I think that's a good thing. Some states already do this and Maryland recently decided that all their electoral votes would go to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of how the citizens voted. Change is needed.

Iraq’s Medical Meltdown (The difference between now and the Vietnam War)

“The Bush Administration violated every single tenet that has been known in humanitarian circles for decades,” says Dr. Frederick Burkle. Traditionally, responsibility for humanitarian efforts has fallen to USAID, as in Vietnam. But in a move Burkle calls “unprecedented,” Bush transferred that authority to the DoD, the guys who blow people up!

Pot Ups Risk for Mental Illness By Miniscule Amount

I hate when they use % increase in risk without the underlying numbers. For example, if your chance of psychosis is 1 in 10,000, the 41% increase in risk the article quotes would make it 1.41 in 10,000. I'd call that statistically insignificant.

Was Pat Tillman Deliberately Killed?!

""The medical evidence did not match up with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman said. No evidence at all of enemy fire was found at the scene - no one was hit by enemy fire, nor was any government equipment struck. Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments." (excerpts from AP article)

So the question is, was it a personal spat with a fellow soldier or something more sinister? Pat Tillman was reported to be disillusioned with the war and was possibly planning on speaking out.

Thom Hartmann began his program by reading from a new Executive Order which allows the government to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies. He then introduced Paul Craig Roberts by quoting: "Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran."

"Of course, it was better under Sadaam!" - Iraqi Author Sinan Antoon

To back up his opinion he compares electrical and water service then and now, and says there was at least order before, now there is only chaos. He goes on to say that everything that was good about Iraq was destroyed by the war, everything that was bad was made worse. 10 years ago, Iraqis didn't think of themselves as Shia or Sunni or Kurd. Many are of mixed heritage. It's not America's job to decide whether Iraq will be 3 states or one. The occupation is the biggest problem Iraq has now.
