2007-11-07 10:39 Un tango político. Las mujeres en frente.
Este artículo, de los New York Times en EE.UU., habla del tema de las mujeres en el mundo de los políticos. Por mucha de la region, las mujeres están ganando poder como presidentas.

2007-11-05 20:59 Uncle Sam on the Line
By John Ashcroft, the United States attorney general from 2001 to 2005. He now heads a consulting firm that has telecommunications companies as clients (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 05/11/07): For almost two years, the country has debated whether the Bush administration acted properly and lawfully in undertaking emergency surveillance operations of suspected foreign terrorists on presidential authorization in the wake of 9/11. For several months, we have been debating bills that seek to modernize the For …

2007-11-05 13:30 New Detainee Rights Weighed in Plans to Close Guantánamo
Administration officials are considering granting Guantánamo detainees substantially greater rights as part of an effort to close the detention center and possibly move much of its population to the United States, according to officials involved in the discussions. One proposal that is being widely discussed in the administration would overhaul the procedure for determining whether detainees are properly held by granting them legal representation at detention hearings and by giving federal judge …

2007-11-04 17:47 Bloomberg.com: Latin America
That's Asian Tiger level. Seven stinking point eight percent. All this, on top of a war tax that has shaved 2.5% from Colombia's GDP and congressional Democrats refusing to give this ally the free trade it's earned. Despite those two economic leg irons, 7.8% is the proof that this is an economy that is roaring like a bonfire due not to an oil boom but to militant free market reforms. Having just gotten back from Colombia, one can feel it in the air. There's never been a success story like it, a …

"Cheney's Law", un documental del programa Frontline, de PBS. For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President Ge …

2007-10-21 09:08 Next Challenge in Iraq
By David Ignatius (THE WASHINGTON POST, 21/10/07): Let's assume that the numbers from Iraq are right and that there has been a significant reduction in violence there. Let's even agree that the Bush administration's strategy is finally showing some success. Isn't that an argument for accelerating the transfer of security to the Iraqis - and speeding up the withdrawal of some U.S. support troops U.S. military commanders are now discussing precisely these issues. Some argue that the Bush administr …

2007-10-18 23:54 Message from Ron Paul (10/18/07)
The other day, my old sparring partner in so many Congressional committee hearings, Alan Greenspan, was on the Fox Business Channel. After Alan promoted his new book, the reporter asked if we really needed a central bank. Greenspan looked stunned, and then said that was a good question; he actually talked about fiat money vs. a gold standard. Now, the ex-Fed chairman is not about to endorse our sound monetary policy, but you know our Revolution is working when such a question is asked in the mai …

"We are furious," the Chinese Communist Party 's secretary for Tibet, Zhang Qingli, declared this week. "If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there must be no justice or good people in the world." …

2007-10-18 10:57 Rush Limbaugh is Unpatriotic
Harry Reid said it, it must be true. During the phony controversy over Rush Limbaugh's calling phony soldiers "phony soldiers," it went almost unnoticed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Limbaugh "unpatriotic." If the Democrats' own rhetoric is to be believed, that remark should have been universally met with shock and condemnation. That's because, since the start of the war, conservatives have accepted the premise that it's always wrong to question someone's patriotism. For the past …

2007-10-18 09:52 Bush Still Relevant
WaPo columnist Dan Froomkin focused on this exchange in a Bush press conference yesterday: Asked how he found himself vetoing a children's health insurance bill that had passed Congress with bipartisan support, Bush insisted that using a veto is "one way to ensure I am relevant." When a reporter followed up and asked Bush if he felt he was losing leverage and relevance, Bush replied: "I've never felt more engaged and more capable of getting the American people to realize there's a lot of unfinis …

2007-10-18 06:50 McCain questions Romney's experience
U.S. Sen. John McCain on Wednesday questioned whether Mitt Romney, his rival for the GOP presidential nomination, is too inexperienced for the job. Romney, the Republican former governor of Massachusetts, has been criticized for saying in a recent debate that if elected he would ask White House lawyers whether he needed congressional approval to attack Iran. "That's a product of inexperience," McCain said Wednesday during an interview as his campaign bus cruised through Columbia. When asked if h …

2007-10-18 04:47 They can hope all they want
GOP Hopes Voter Anger Cuts Both Way (from Breitbart.com) Republican strategists hope a volatile electorate will save the party from congressional losses in 2008 that appear possible due to a string of setbacks. Democrats hold clear edges in raising money, limiting retirements and deflecting public anger. In the latest sign, the party's House campaign committee said Wednesday it has about $25 million to spend on targeted races next year; its Republican counterpart is in debt. Facing such news, th …

By David McGrath Schwartz Published in the Sun on Oct. 18, 2007 Sen. Harry Reid figured he was in pretty good political health after his internal polls showed him in early August with strong numbers: Well over half of Nevada voters viewed him favorably. Then he woke up to the Review-Journal s story on Monday reporting that more than half the people the newspaper polled don t like him. If both polls are to be believed, Reid s popularity plummeted in just two months. Reid protested to the R-J and …

In 1969, the US Senate had a hearing on funding the proposed Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but President Nixon wanted it cut in half for the Vietnam War. Sometimes nice guys do win some. In 1969, Mister Rogers [wiki] appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications. His goal was to support funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in response to significant proposed cuts. In about five minutes of testimony, Rogers spoke of the need for social and …

John Armor has thrown his hat into a ring already crowded with Army of Mumpower and Spence Campbell. Armor's announcement is no surprise, as he hinted about a run as early as April. Armor is Scrutiny Hooligans' favorite freeper Republican. That's primarily because he s willing to associate with us at all and was the first Congressional candidate in NC s 11th district to sit down for an interview last year. Mr. Armor has since spent time with Hooligans at Drinking Liberally with his charming fian …

T hough many of our recent posts have covered the happenings in Congressional Districts 2 and 3 recently, we want to make sure to keep one race on the political forefront from here until the 2008 general election. In our opinion, the race for Johnson County's soon-to-be vacated District Attorney's seat is perhaps the G.O.P.'s most important race during the 2008 cycle - at least symbolically. Steve Howe, a long-time prosecutor in the office and a true Republican, released his Campaign's steering …

2007-10-17 10:04 There Was An Election Yesterday
Hmmm, there was a special election yesterday, in Massachusetts's 5 th Congressional District - I had no idea. But the results are pretty surprising and could be a microcosmic example of how much trouble the Republicans are not in in 2008. See, MA-5 is a reliably liberal, Democrat-leaning district ( Dems from 1975; Marty Meehan since 1993), in practically the bluest state in the Union. And, the Democratic candidate running was a highly recognized candidate with national party support who focused …

LOUISIANA IS HOME TO MORE than 337,000 veterans, 55,000 of whom live in the First Congressional District, represented by Congressman Bobby Jindal. In one of his most recent television ads, Bobby Jindal defends himself against the accusations that he has voted against our veterans, implying that such a claim is absurd. Yet, at the same time, Jindal has refused to argue against any of the specifics. Here are the facts, provided by a third-party watchdog: Jindal Voted Against Giving the National Gu …
