I'm sure we have some moderate and conservative readers here at Corrente, and I bet some of you think that I'm over the top more than occasionally. Which is true, but here's an article that may help you understand why I and people like me say the things we do about Amurkin pseudofascism and rising neo-imperialism:

Via today's Alabama news roundup:
Recently obtained e-mails seem to contradict claims of former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed that he did not know until last year that an online lottery company was behind his 2000 effort to defeat a proposed ban on online gambling. Read below the fold...

While the federal government's pandemic flu plan persuades peaceful people who work for public health and safety that the notion of martial law is a good thing, in the face of a putative threat from dying birds.
What is more liberal than advocating basic hygiene, working to keep restaurants clean and grocery-store meat-counters safe, offering vaccinations against deadly diseases to
those who cannot afford the fees the corporate healthcare system demands? Read below the fold...

Jesus' General has revealed a new way to think about Bill O'Reilly, and feeling a surge in affection for Falafel Man, I wrote a song. Duh.

Let me tell you all a story
About a man, a hero
He stood for hope and glory
His tolerance was zero
He fought against the bad guys
He brought them all to heel
He had two beautiful & firm thighs
They made you want to cop a feel Read below the fold...

Howie:
On to Katrina: We already knew, from testimony and interviews, that Bush's statement that "no one could have anticipated" the breaching of the levees was not exactly an accurate description of the warnings that he and other top officials received. Now newly released video of the meetings in those fateful days has confirmed it.
"Not exactly an accurate description..." I love it! Let's go to the tape: Read below the fold...

I've never understand why the extremely legitimate deal to sell control of our ports to the Emirates had to go through in such a hurry; the Republicans claim that to wait would be racist--oh, puh-leeze--but what's racist about making sure that selling big parts of Philly and Manhattan to pro-torture money-launderers who vacation with OBL doesn't pose any security risks? Surely these guys can wait 45 days? [Hums the old Sly Stone tune, It's a family affair, it's a family affair...] AP sheds some light: Read below the fold...

I confess I actually buy cooked food rather a great deal, instead of cooking it for myself. (Matyson!) But if I cut loose from the corporate beast, I'm going to have to cut back on that.
Anyone have any thoughts on a minimum budget in money and time for someone who likes to eat well but has grown suddenly poor?
Sure, $30 at the dollar store really can buy a month's worth of food, but heck, I'm not retired yet... Read below the fold...

So, in New Orleans after Katrina, a fisherman's business goes under. The fisherman then displays adaptability and goes into the T-Shirt business, and gives away an anti-FEMA t-shirt. (I guess there's a big market for that message down in NOLA.) And the MBFs at FEMA arrest him. Only in Bush's America! Read on:

From the Champaign IL News-Gazette:
One law of quantum mechanics, called "superposition," says properties such as the spin of an electron or the polarization of a photon can be in a range of different states at once down at the atomic and subatomic levels.

A friend of mine was actually "shocked" by the South Dakota situation. Most of us saw it coming in December of 2000. Most of us also saw this:
Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 is pending in the state legislature.
