A quarter mil for a shill, so much for a free press
By Mark Drolette
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 18, 2005-The Bushies really should have come to me before bribing-uh,
hiring; no, no, I was right the first time-right-wing commentator Armstrong
Williams to shill for the federal No Child Left Behind Act in his newspaper
columns and on his radio and TV show, "The Right Side."

Bush's choice for energy secretary was one of Texas' top five worst polluters
By Jason Leopold
Online Journal Assistant Editor

January 18, 2005-In the bizarro world that George W. Bush lives in, it
pays-literally-to be a miserable failure, a criminal and a corporate con man.
Those are just some of the characteristics of the dastardly men and women who
were tapped recently to fill the vacancies in Bush's second-term cabinet.

One man has stopped killing; hope for more to do the same
By Monica Benderman
Online Journal Guest Writer

January 18, 2005-For the past two weeks, my husband Kevin and I have answered
questions from reporters, journalists, interested citizens from almost every
state in the union, and about 8 foreign countries. After all of these
interviews, I have a few questions of my own.

'Abstinence only' undermines the war on HIV/AIDS
By Mary Shaw
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 18, 2005-Conservative Republican Senator Rick Santorum, from my home
state of Pennsylvania, recently reiterated his longstanding support for the
global war against HIV/AIDS by touting the passage of the new omnibus
appropriations bill, which includes $2.9 billion in HIV/AIDS funding.

Does gay marriage jeopardize heterosexual marriage?
By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 18, 2005-In his state of the union address last January, the
born-again George W. Bush called for no less than a constitutional amendment
to protect what he calls "traditional marriage." He skirted the term
heterosexual marriage for the more folksy "traditional marriage."
Heterosexual probably sounded too much like homosexual.

Constitutional right to travel to Cuba
By Tom Crumpacker
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 18, 2005-Our government has been telling us that the reason it is
prohibiting us from traveling to Cuba is to deny Cubans hard currency so that
they will change the way they have organized their society. If so, it's the
first time in our history we've been forced to give up one of our fundamental
liberties in order to implement a foreign policy objective.

Condoleezza Rice's academic background
By Margie Burns
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 21, 2005-At every stage of her adult career, the right-wing-funded
Hoover Institution has been Condoleezza Rice's platform and haven.

By: Jack Dalton

January 21, 2005-The U.S. Army yesterday formally charged Sgt. Kevin
Benderman, who recently refused deployment a second time to Iraq and had
filed for conscientious objector status, with violation of articles 85 and 87
of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

After the election: Recomposing the collective symbolic landscape
By Charles Frederick
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 21, 2005-Bush "won." My first feelings are desperation, sorrow and
anger for the new suffering this "victory" will represent-even though I had
never believed a Kerry victory was anything more than a tactical opportunity.
But why, when the Bush agenda is so pernicious, could it have such popular
success? Taking up this question effectively is an antidote to the
desperation the Bush victory creates.

A Canadian woman's perspective
Abuse of citizens by governments and multinational corporations
By Frances Oommen
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 21, 2005-Sometime ago, an awareness came to me that the changes being
introduced by governments were in reality an abuse of citizens.

New Osama tape, deeper propaganda twists
By Larry Chin
Online Journal Associate Editor

January 21, 2005-Last December 16, a new Osama bin Laden video hit the air
waves. Like previous productions, the tape was conveniently timed to
reinforce and invigorate Washington's expanding war agenda, keep the
populations of Western nations fearfully compliant and supportive of the Bush
administration's "war on terrorism," further provoke anti-Western sentiment
in the Middle East, and distract from exploding political and economic fault
lines all over the world, from Ukraine and Kuwait, to the financial markets
and tension within the Bush administration itself ("wag the dog").

Torture is a problem, not a solution
By Mary Shaw
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 21, 2005-On January 15, the BBC quoted outgoing U.S. Homeland
Security Secretary Tom Ridge as saying that the U.S. did not condone the use
of torture to extract information from terrorists, but that under an "extreme
set" of hypothetical circumstances, such as a nuclear threat, "it could
happen." Heaven help us.

Shouting 'WMD' in a crowded global theater
By Margie Burns
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 21, 2005-In the course of a life not nearly misspent enough, there
are a few things I have learned. One thing is that little lies are often
weirder than big ones.

US foreign policy: Question all assumptions
By Ivan Eland
Online Journal Guest Writer

January 21, 2005-(Independent Institute)-Post-World War II U.S. foreign
policy, including that of the Bush administration, has been based on certain
assumptions about the nature of the world. Unfortunately, most of those
assumptions are suspect.

The first Bush [p]residency
By Sartre
Online Journal Guest Writer

January 21, 2005-[batr.org]-Falling between great disappointment and utter
horror, the first Bush term as U.S [p]resident can only be adequately
apprized from a long term perspective. The historic significance will be
written in the future, while the real world reality must be endured today.
Partisan politics have become meaningless, and political rhetoric insulting.
The propaganda spin machine never stops and the twenty-four hour newspeak
cycle never rests. Events march on to perdition, as consumers fill their
carts as if tomorrow will never come. The slog continues as people revert to
fantasy land and take comfort in their disillusions.

"All truth passes through three states," wrote Arthur Schopenhauer. "First it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
