McCain's Latest Idea: That would be a gas tax holiday from Memorial Day til Labor Day. Yeah, buddy, now that's really going to solve our economic woes. And precisely how are we going to pay for it? Join us as we weave in Rick Perlstein's comments posted on

McCain's Campaign Posts Plagiarized Recipes: Thanks to AP for this little gem, which also describes a couple of Ann Romney's contributions to Mitt's former website. Nothing like a little comic relief. Hint: Meatloaf Cakes?
McCain's Position On G.I. Bill Worth Watching: Sara Robinson's "How To Kill An Army: A Scenario", published yesterday on
www.ourfuture.org is quite interesting. Seems a petition with 30,000 signatures in support of the expansion of benefits in the G.I. Bill was delivered to Senator McCain's office, and the response was not positive. You must join us for a discussion of the G.I. Bill, the history and the future of our military. It's difficult to understand why the good Senator would not be leading the charge on this one. And he could win in November?
Condi, Condi, Condi: And Cheney, Powell, Tenet and Rumsfield, too, what a crew!
www.bravenewfilms.org has produced a stunning short video featuring Rice's December 2005 testimony repeatedly denying that the U.S. tortures while explaining the information to the absolute contrary exposed recently by CBS. Go there. Then sign the petition. Like they say: p-s-s-t-do something!
Let Them Eat Cake, Indeed: Rex Nutting's "Hedge-fund Managers Get Biggest Payday in History", published Wednesday in
www.marketwatch.com is obscene. We're talking about the payola for the top 25 hedge fund managers. It's enough to run a small country. Listen up for details.
Department of Commerce and I.R.S.: Ah, here's some information that will make your day. Join us as we discuss Ben Shepard's "The Census Big Con: It Doesn't Add Up", published Tuesday on
www.ourfuture.org, and AP's Jim Abrams' "Lawmakers Quarrel Over Tax Policy" posted Tuesday. We're being smothered by incompetence!
We'll be back Monday, April 21. Until then, wise up! Thanks for your support.
