"At one stop outside a burger joint, an older man came out of the crowd and embraced Kucinich in a bear hug. He commandeered the microphone Kucinich was using to address the large crowd and demanded that U.S. troops be withdrawn immediately from Iraq. Kucinich hailed him, shook his hand, and went inside the shop to address the rest of the crowd away from the bitter wind." [more]
"Squadrons of shiny new Touch Screen Trojan horses are being rolled into precincts across America. Not, as we are told, to make voting easier or more accurate, or to help disabled people vote privately, or to save America from the dangers of hanging chad and butterfly ballots — no. The real reason America is being flooded with billions of dollars worth of paperless computerized voting machines is so that no one will ever again be able to prove vote fraud." [more]
"It can be argued that globalization is inevitable, especially given the incredible technological leaps forward we make, seemingly on an hourly basis. But if that globalization is allowed to continue without giving workers around the world the ability to unionize, to fight for a living wage, to strike for the right to improve their lot, workers here in America and around the world will reap the whirlwind, will find their backs broken at the expense of bosses who have been historically allergic to giving their employees the rights they so richly deserve."

Bush even became the nominee. / The simple, monstrous truth of the matter is that both of these scenarios are in play simultaneously, linked by political opportunism and the desires of empire."

"I was between 5th and 6th on the sidewalk. Maybe the ones in front were warned to move, but I didn't hear any warning. It had been a peaceful protest. Suddenly the police came forward spraying pepper spray. A man nearby with an infant in a backpack got hit real good. The baby's face was so red I thought it had quit breathing. From the other direction came cop cars through the crowd and rubber bullets were fired at those closest to the cars. I kept retreating but the cops kept spraying. Lots of people were sprayed, including the cameraman from Channel 2 KATU." [more]
