An Open Letter to Lady Margaret Thatcher
"Mark Thatcher, son of Lady Margaret Thatcher, is in big trouble. He was charged in South Africa, with helping to finance a planned coup in oil rich Equatorial Guinea. He is under house arrest, on $300,000 bail. Equatorial Guinea is looking to extradite him on the same charges. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe may want to get their hands on him, too. Baroness Thatcher is naturally distraught. The Open Letter offers some advice and historical context."
Bloomberg Fails to Intimidate Protesters
"Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried, but failed miserably to intimidate the protesters at the massive rally against the GOP and the Iraq War, in NYC, today. The crowd was estimated at over 500,000. Bloomberg has tried repeatedly to manipulate a confrontation with the demonstrators and to scare them off. His tactics failed. He has been assisted in his efforts by NYC’s yellow-sheeted tabloids, the NY Daily News and the NY Post."

An Officer in Court

Beyond Hero-Worship
"Thirty-three years ago, speaking out against the war in Vietnam, John Kerry was an anti-war hero for some. Now he deserves to be no one’s hero. Like Bill Clinton, he has proven himself ready and willing to embrace war based on lies."
