Danger for the Democrats
From the Progessive Review newsletter
Serious danger awaits the Democratic Party if Clark continues to show strength. The media, led by CNN, has been promoting a falsely glamorous picture of the general who is distrusted, disliked, and disrespected by a number of his military and diplomatic colleagues and whose career is marked far more by institutional chutzpah than by military heroics. The media, which often has childlike fantasies concerning military officials, has not bothered to look closely into Clark’s background. Among the things it might find if it did: how Richard Holbrooke insisted on a top aide always being close to Clark in case he said something stupid in public, how Clark endangered peace negotiations, and the lieutenant colonel responsible for keeping Clark’s shoes shined.
The danger is that, after a few early primaries, some of the other candidates may drop out, throwing their support to Clark, who already has the backing of the crypto-Republican wing of the party led by the Clintonistas and the Democratic Abandonship Council. In such a case, Dean’s lead could dramatically dwindle and the party could be left with a loose cannon as its candidate.

IMF fires warning shot at US
The International Monetary Fund Wednesday urged the Bush administration to develop a plan to balance the federal budget, saying tax cuts had given the economy only a modest lift, and warning that widening fiscal deficits held dangers for domestic and global growth.
U.S. policymakers will need both tax increases and spending restraint to balance the budget, the global lender said in a report, which it described as part of an annual review of the U.S. economy.

LA Auto show banner drop
“A typical Ford vehicle on the road today gets fewer miles per gallon than the Model-T did 80 years ago,” said Jason Mark, Clean Car Campaigner with the human rights group Global Exchange.
Also participating were Rainforest Action Network, as well as others. There was also a hydrid car caravan, which I slug-like, slept through and thus didn’t participate in with my Prius.
Update! I didn’t miss it! The Hybrid Parade is tomorrow, Saturday, at noon - an hour that even a morning slug like myself can make!
