Co-conspirators Stan Dai and 25 year old WingNerds Gone Wild video producer James O’Keefe seen leaving the courthouse in a photo that O’Keefe did not have a chance to tamper with before I could:

If it gets any more Bipartisan this Healthcare Reform bill will be issuing hunting permits for your quota of women entering and leaving women’s health clinics.
Because this is supposed to be a bipartisan effort to fix healthcare and all, and that is all the left really wants to do is to fix it so people [...]

Where criminals are still free and desperately arguing for a continued coverup of their crimes:
I’m not amused that the Wall Street Journal solicited an op-ed attacking the decision to try KSM in civilian court from one of the people–John Yoo–with the biggest conflict on such a decision. It’s yet more proof that Rupert Murdoch is [...]

This is the first of a two-part podcast with Commissioner Wallström, who has revolutionised the European Union’s strategy for communicating with citizens and has been a bold experimenter in using internet based technologies for putting their message out and encouraging debate between the institutions and citizens.

During the 2008 Democratic Convention, I ended up covering a confrontation between between Alex Jones and Michelle Malkin. Today is a much different political environment, and it may be time these two rivals joined forces…

I can’t claim a great love for Lord Mandelson, but throwing green custard in his face is just plane stupid. Describing him as ’slimy’ is an opinion, one that is shared by many, but does it advance a debate? Of course not.
One of the causes I espouse is to try to lessen the distance between [...]

Last week I interviewed William Morris of the Next Century Foundation. They are involved in conflict resolution in places such as Gaza, Iraq and also facilitate track 2 dialogues, for example arranging confidential discussions between Hamas and people who publically claim they’re not/ cannot talk to them. These meetings are a way of initiating [...]

“The ability of the global system to dampen instability and prevent failure is nearing zero. We have neither the organizational frameworks necessary for global governance nor the precise tools of global policy required… Any chance of real global change must start at the ground level by correcting the true sources of the problem and spread [...]

About 3,200 years ago something extraordinary happened: a group of people formed a new society in a unique way. Where they came from is open to debate. Some say the indigenous people rose up and overthrew their oppressors. Some say the idea came with nomads from the east. The descendants of the society’s early members [...]

Some years ago I visited two villages near Gampaha, Sri Lanka. Both were small and poor. Both were inhabited by members of Rodhi caste, the Sinhalese version of untouchables. But there, all similarity ended. In the first, families of five and six lived in palm-leaf huts just large enough for them all to lie down [...]

“In the next few days we will know if Russia wants to be part of the international community or if they don’t give a damn what the worlds thinks of them”, is the stark warning given by 42 year old Georgian artist and writer Nick Gabrichidze, who is also coordinator of SOS Georgia.

From 2001-2003, I was Co-coordinator of the Green Party of Los Angeles County. The GP was growing fast then, lots of voter registration drives and outreach. It was fun. Other parts were not so fun. In my role of Treasurer, I had a legal obligation to file a complaint against a Green Party member for [...]
