At the Congressional Hearing on March 11, it was very obvious that outside of the halls of Congress, Net Neutrality and Internet Free Speech is very much a Bipartisan Issue. PCMag covered the Net Neutrality hearing, which resulted in this incredible quote by Michele Combs of the Christian Coalition, “The Christian Coalition and NARAL agree […]
Geez, the Peak Oil groups have been pointing this out for a long time. It’s about time that the NYT got with the program, and reported this study about Biofuels being a Greenhouse Threat.
Too bad they didn’t catch this already reported story when it was originally reported, and in time to stop all the harebrained […]
Well, the word is finally being bandied about– Recession. And everybody is pointing fingers and coming up with supposed band aids that will stop it in its tracks. The problem is that in many ways the powers that be are looking in the wrong place for both the reasons and the solutions. I’m not debating […]
Now he wants “us” to invade Iran. I’m sure that will be just as successful as our invasion of Iraq, and by the time we’re done, we’ll have so little armed forces left we’ll be ripe for takeover ourselves.

The NYTimes this morning has an OpEd piece from Studs Terkel on the whole issue of Wiretapping and Telecomm Immunity.

In a time when We, The People, are feeling very frustrated since it seems our voice is not being heard in Washington by the folks who are supposedly there to represent US and our interests and not just the interests of US MegaCorporations and War Profiteers (some of whom, like AT&T, are both), it’s a […]
The newest AT&T Terms of Service has an interesting new clause, which is the BEST argument for Net Neutrality that’s come down the pike yet. They will SHUT OFF your service if you badmouth AT&T. This is the applicable clause, and pay attention to c:
5.1 Suspension/Termination. Your Service may be suspended or terminated if your […]
Last month AT&T censored Pearl Jam on their website when an anti-Bush statement was made. This is the same AT&T that helped the NSA illegally tap our phones. This week Verizon blocked text messages from the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) on their Cellphone network. Verizon also allowed the NSA to illegally tap our […]
An Important film has just been released, called “No End in Sight, the American Occupation of Iraq“, which “dissects the people, issues and facts behind the Bush Administration’s decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening […]
