The Tiger at Bay: Scary Times Ahead
Immanuel Wallerstein
When Ned Lamont won the primary [Democrat senatorial primary in Conneticut against the incumbent, Sen. Joe Lieberman], a reader of the Wall Street Journal wrote a letter saying "we have reached a tipping point in this country - if we allow the left to govern as the majority our country is finished." He calls Republican leaders "inept." He, and many others, will be looking for fiercer leaders.
Everyone worries about civil war in Iraq. How about in the United States? Scary times ahead!

Another Year, Another Wage Loss
Robert Kuttner
Labor Day was created by the machinists union in New York in 1882 as a ``workingmen's holiday." Today, politics have largely been leached out of it. Labor Day is a long weekend marking summer's end. That extra day of rest is needed more now. Government statistics show the typical family works about 500 more hours a year than families did 30 years ago. Family incomes are failing to keep pace with the cost of living.

Inalienable Human Rights are not Privileges: The ACLU Sets the Standard in The Struggle for “Liberty and Justice for All”
Jason Miller
Throughout the religion’s history, various practitioners of Christianity have defied the compassionate teachings of Christ to perpetrate hateful, fear-mongering, and sometimes quite lethal campaigns against those who do not share their beliefs. The Inquisitions, the Salem Witch Trials, the persecution of Galileo, the US military’s slaughter of 600,000 Filipinos in an effort to (in the words of then US President William McKinley) “uplift and civilize and christianize" them, and Focus on the Family’s steady assault on homosexuals are but a few examples.

The history of American war profiteering is rife with egregious examples of incompetence, fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement, bribery and misconduct.

Shankar Vedantam
On this Labor Day, consider a paradox: Millions of Americans say they feel overworked and stressed out.

Given that people have been saying this for quite a while, employers should have figured out by now that they can save money by being more flexible in workplace arrangements.

Labor Day Special: Why Poverty Doesn't Rate
The Census Bureau last week released its latest estimate of the U.S. poverty rate -- the country's most important official statistic on domestic want and deprivation. The figure was sobering, signaling short-run stagnation and deterioration over the past generation. The 2005 poverty rate of 12.6 percent barely budged from the previous year's number, and was substantially higher than the 11.1 percent level registered back in 1973, the lowest on record. No less disturbing, the official measure indicates that a greater portion of families and children live in poverty in America today than three decades ago.

Pat Buchanan's xenophobia is now in hardcover
Pat Buchanan can seem more like an entertainer than a commentator. But he is also peddling dangerous ideas.
``Should America lose her ethnic-cultural core and become a nation of nations, America will not survive" he writes in his new book, ``State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America." Buchanan's argument: The country is losing its Western European identity and being overrun by Mexicans and other immigrant groups.

Bush Stays the Course--at a press conference
David Corn
George W. Bush keeps trying to rally popular support for his war in Iraq. But he has little to offer other than stay-the course-ism. He cannot point to progress in Iraq. Nor can he point to a plan that would seem promising. Thus, he is left only with rhetoric--the same rhetoric.
That was on display during a presidential press conference at the White House on Monday.

Religion-related fraud getting worse
Rachel Zoll
Billions of dollars has been stolen in religion-related fraud in recent years, according to the North American Securities Administrators Association, a group of state officials who work to protect investors.
Between 1984 and 1989, about $450 million was stolen in religion-related scams, the association says. In its latest count — from 1998 to 2001 — the toll had risen to $2 billion. Rip-offs have only become more common since.

Book Excerpt: The End of Iraq--How American Incompetence Created a War Without End
Peter W. Galbraith
Between March and September 1991, the Iraqi Army and security services killed as many as 300,000 Shiites. One mass grave near the city of Hillah is said to hold 30,000 bodies alone.
While George H. W. Bush's call for the uprising may well have been a careless ad lib, this is not how Iraq's Shiites saw it. They believe Bush encouraged the uprising and intentionally allowed Saddam to crush it because Bush wanted Shiites to be killed.
Like the Shiites in the south, the Kurds vented their fury against the regime. When the rebels took over the General Security Directorate headquarters in Suleimania, they caught the security agents about to execute the remaining prisoners. Instead, the security men were shot. An elderly woman threw herself on one of the corpses, biting and kicking it. As the crowd tried to pull her off, she explained, "He killed three of my sons. Don't I have the right to do this to him?"

We should have learned since 9/11 that force has limits.
Jay Bookman
In Iraq, force has proved unable to transform a dictatorship into a functioning democracy. Force has failed to transform most Iraqis and Arabs, into supporters of American policy. Force has failed to intimidate the Arab world into meekly accepting American leadership in the region.
We have also learned that in a struggle against insurgents and terrorists, relying too heavily on firepower creates more enemies than it kills, particularly if firepower is leveled too often at innocent civilians.

At its best, liberalism is about the defense of the underdog, of minority rights, of social justice, of active but restrained government, of civil liberties, of openness and tolerance.
But liberalism has also become associated with elitism, arrogance and disdain for the values of average Americans.

The last guy in the first of those eight-hour London airport security lines searching for mouthwash and hair gel bombs hadn't even gotten close to the point of throwing away everything but his passport and clothing when Republican congressional campaigners were forming a conga line to celebrate a splendid opportunity.

Factory Shift: Manufacturers Struggle to Fill Highly Paid Jobs
Molly Hennessy-Fiske
Manufacturing, long known for plant closings and layoffs, is now clamoring for workers to fill high-paying, skilled jobs. While millions of manufacturing jobs have been outsourced or automated out of existence during the past decade, many of the remaining jobs require higher skills and pay well — $50,000 to $80,000 a year for workers with the necessary math, computer and mechanical abilities.

We Know Bart, but Homer Is Greek to Us
Three-quarters of Americans can correctly identify two of Snow White's seven dwarfs; only a quarter can name two Supreme Court justices.
Americans are more familiar with the Three Stooges — Larry, Moe and Curly — than the three branches of the U.S. government — judicial, executive and legislative.

The New Gender Divide: Facing Middle Age With No Degree, and No Wife
Eduardo Porter and Michelle Porter
Once, virtually all Americans had married by their mid-40’s. Now, many American men without college degrees find themselves still single as they approach middle age.
About 18 percent of men ages 40 to 44 with less than four years of college have never married, according to census estimates. That is up from about 6 percent a quarter-century ago. Among similar men ages 35 to 39, the portion jumped to 22 percent from 8 percent in that time.

About 11 million illegal immigrants were living in the U.S. at the start of this year, the federal government said in a report.
That's up from an estimated 8.5 million living in the country in January 2000, according to calculations by the Office of Immigration Statistics in the Department of Homeland Security.

Prisoner of Conscience: Sgt. Joe Darby, the whistle blower about atrocities at Abu Ghraib, speaks out
Wil S. Hylton
Everybody thinks there was a conspiracy at Abu Ghraib. Everybody thinks there was an order from high up, or that somebody in command must have known. Everybody is wrong. Nobody in command knew about the abuse, because nobody in command cared enough to find out. That was the real problem. The entire command structure was oblivious, living in their own little worlds. So it wasn't a conspiracy - it was negligence, plain and simple. They were all fucking clueless.

Public Pension Plans Face Billions in Shortages
Mary Williams Walsh
In 2003, a whistle-blower forced San Diego to reveal that it had been shortchanging its city workers’ pension fund for years, setting off a wave of lawsuits, investigations and eventually criminal indictments.
When the S.E.C. shifted its gaze away from municipal finance, Mr. Levitt now says, it left “a regulatory hole.” If the agency were equipped to monitor state and local governments the way it monitors corporate disclosures, he said, “it could provide an early warning of financial conditions threatening the solvency of any number of communities.

Birth Pangs of a New Christian Zionism
Max Blumenthal
Over the past months, the White House has convened a series of off-the-record meetings about its policies in the Middle East with leaders of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a newly formed political organization that tells its members that supporting Israel's expansionist policies is "a biblical imperative." CUFI's Washington lobbyist, David Brog, told me that during the meetings, CUFI representatives pressed White House officials to adopt a more confrontational posture toward Iran, refuse aid to the Palestinians and give Israel a free hand as it ramped up its military conflict with Hezbollah.

Philanthropist George Soros writes that the Bush camp reminds him of the Nazi regime.
Anne-Marie O'Connor
George Soros, the Hungarian Holocaust survivor whose fortune is matched only by his philanthropy, pioneered a kind of self-styled approach to global reform that made him, in the words of the Carnegie Endowment's Morton Abramowitz, "the only private citizen who had his own foreign policy."
With no sluggish bureaucracy to answer to, he rose to prominence with stunningly practical bequests delivered in a timely manner. There was his $50-million donation to the besieged citizens of Sarajevo in 1993 that financed a water plant so that women did not need to rely on the public wells where Serbian snipers picked them off with ease. There was his pro-democracy support in the Soviet Bloc, for Poland's Solidarity movement and for Czech dissident Vaclav Havel, who would become that country's post-Communist president.

In Miami, Graying Anti-Castro Movement Is Losing Steam
Carol J. Williams
At the height of the Cuban-American exile rallies after President Fidel Castro ceded power July 31, there were never more than a few hundred participants in the streets. Their noisy celebrations of Castro's latest illness showed a bitter face to the rest of the world.
But the embarrassed quiet that now prevails is perhaps a more accurate indicator of the mood among the city's largest ethnic minority.

Half of U.S. Still Believes Iraq Had WMD
Charles J. Hanley
Do you believe in Iraqi "WMD"? Did Saddam Hussein's government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003?
Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll finds, and experts see a raft of reasons why: a drumbeat of voices from talk radio to die-hard bloggers to the Oval Office, a surprise headline here or there, a rallying around a partisan flag, and a growing need for people, in their own minds, to justify the war in Iraq.

Over a mess-tent dinner of turkey cutlets, the bony-faced 21-year-old private from West Texas looked right at me as he talked about killing Iraqis with casual indifference. It was February, and we were at his small patrol base about 20 miles south of Baghdad. "The truth is, it wasn't all I thought it was cracked up to be. I mean, I thought killing somebody would be this life-changing experience. And then I did it, and I was like, 'All right, whatever.'"

Billy Shore
When you fly as often as I do you learn to mind your own business as soon as you take your seat. But that wasn’t possible once I saw the military honor guard boarding US Airways’ 1:45 p.m. flight from Boston to Washington earlier this week.
The mom leaned her elbows on the window ledge, supporting her chin and cheeks with both hands. She remained perfectly still. She stared for 10 or 15 long minutes and never moved. The father stood nearby, rocking from foot to foot and pacing a bit. They did not touch; they did not say a word to each other. Neither wore a wedding band. Perhaps they were divorced, or simply isolated in their pain.

Super wealthy philanthropist George Soros says Bush camp reminds him of the Nazi regime
Anne-Marie O'Connor
With no sluggish bureaucracy to answer to, George Soros rose to prominence with stunningly practical bequests delivered in a timely manner. There was his $50-million donation to the besieged citizens of Sarajevo in 1993 that financed a water plant so that women did not need to rely on the public wells where Serbian snipers picked them off with ease. There was his pro-democracy support in the Soviet Bloc, for Poland's Solidarity movement and for Czech dissident Vaclav Havel, who would become that country's post-Communist president.
Soros has given away about $5 billion since he embarked on this citizen-policymaker approach in the 1970s, a sum that approaches the $7.2-billion estimate of his net wealth by Forbes in 2004. That put him in the league of a Rockefeller or a Carnegie and has made him a perennial Nobel nominee.

An Interview with Gore Vidal
David Barsamian
Gore Vidal is a gold mine of quips and zingers. And his vast knowledge of literature and history—particularly American—makes for an impressive figure. His razor-sharp tongue lacerates the powerful. He does it with aplomb, saying, “Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” He has a wry sense of noblesse oblige: “There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.”

Bush's Record: Failure Upon Failure
Bob Herbert
The Middle East is in flames. Iraq has become a charnel house, a crucible of horror with no end to the agony in sight. Lebanon is in danger of going down for the count. And the crazies in Iran, empowered by the actions of their enemies, are salivating like vultures. They can’t wait to feast on the remains of U.S. policies and tactics spawned by a sophomoric neoconservative fantasy — that democracy imposed at gunpoint in Iraq would spread peace and freedom, like the flowers of spring, throughout the Middle East.
If a Democratic president had pursued exactly the same policies, and achieved exactly the same tragic results as George W. Bush, that president would have been the target of a ferocious drive for impeachment by the G.O.P.

The Lonely American Just Got a Bit Lonelier
Henry Fountain
For as long as humans have gathered in groups, it seems, some people have been left on the outside looking in. In postwar America in particular, the idea that loneliness pervades a portion of society has been a near-constant. Only the descriptions have changed: the "lonely crowd" alienation of the 1950's; the grim career-driven angst of the 70's and 80's; the "Bowling Alone" collapse of social connections of the 90's.

Don't Know Much About History (or federal deficits)
Somewhere between the firing in 2002 of President Bush's first Treasury secretary, Paul O'Neill, and the Senate confirmation this week of his third Treasury chief, Henry Paulson, the administration changed its tune on budget deficits. In the early days, the line was, essentially, that deficits don't matter. Mr. O'Neill's ouster was due in part to his gall in suggesting otherwise. Now, officials dutifully declaim that deficits matter, but that Bush-era shortfalls are "within historical norms."

Pollution can disrupt the body's hormones and cause it to store more fat, they said. Birth-control pills, along with steroids, antidepressants and some other medications, tend to promote weight gain. Air conditioners? We burn more calories when we're hot, the scientists said, and tend to eat less then, too. Smokers tend to weigh less than nonsmokers.

Ideology won't prevent cancer: Vaccine that would reduce cervical cancer risk faces a challenge from religious right.

A vacine proved to dramatically reduce cervical cancer, the second most common form of cancer among women, would be expected to sail through federal approval processes. Yet getting such a vaccine to the people who would benefit the most from it is no sure thing, thanks to those promoting an ideology that any sex outside (heterosexual) marriage is wrong. A far-right political agenda should not be allowed, again, to threaten women's health.

Randall Balmer
At evangelical colleges like Wheaton College there are two kinds of required gatherings: chapel and convocation. The former is religious in nature, whereas a speaker at convocation has the license to be far more discursive, even secular — or political.

Assimilation Is More Than Learning English
Mathew Spaulding, Ph.D
No matter how the debate on immigration plays out, it’s safe to predict that large numbers will continue to immigrate to America every year for decades to come.
As lawmakers debate the Who, How Many and From Where questions of immigration, they also should focus on a largely ignored question: How do we assure that legal immigrants assimilate? How do we assure that they become fully functional citizens whose sense of national identification -- and loyalty -- resides first and foremost with the United States?

What students need to know to make good decisions about military service
Scott Key
According to the Govern-ment Accountability Office (GAO), the military spends more than $3 billion a year on slick ads and polished recruiters who tell students that the military is their best option for obtaining jobs with benefits and money for college.
As the war in Iraq continues and recruitment lags, high schools have become important military recruiting grounds. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act requires that public secondary schools provide the military access to students. To maximize this new access, the military has added recruiters to target students with fabulous promises to convince young people to enlist. Students are faced with one of the most important decisions in their lives — what to do after high school.

It was just a matter of time, he said, before his buddies and he bumped down some back road in Iraq right into an ambush. They were so exposed, the somber young soldier told his dad. They were riding around in unarmored Humvees with canvas tops and gaping openings on the sides where doors should be. That seemed pretty stupid now that people were shooting at them and lobbing rockets. John, a 20-year-old gunner whose job it was to keep his head up and return fire, felt hung out in the breeze.

How Will the Good Jobs Of the Future Be Created?
E. J. Dionne Jr.
There is no sturdier liberal or Democratic slogan than "Jobs, jobs, jobs." But liberals have a problem: The old capitalist job-production machine is not working the way it used to. The venerable promise that new (progressive) leadership will create masses of well-paying jobs is harder to make and even harder to keep.
In principle this is a larger problem for conservatives, whose main economic program involves reinforcing the status quo by giving tax cuts to rich people so they have more money to invest. Conservatives simply ignore the fact that fewer jobs are being created, particularly at home, for each dollar invested.

The software to make a PC do anything useful can cost you as much as the computer.

The Truth about Detroit: The problem is not jobs. It’s wages and benefits.
Robert B. Reich
Just because the UAW is losing members doesn’t mean American auto workers are losing jobs. According to government data, more Americans are making cars today than were making them 25 years ago. Instead of working for the Big Three, though, lots are now working for Toyota, Honda, and other foreign-based automakers building cars here in the United States.
The problem is not jobs. It’s wages and benefits. The real median wages and benefits of American auto workers have been dropping for several years. A quarter century ago, America’s auto workers were at the top of the heap. Technically, they were blue-collar, but their wages and benefits put them near the top of the middle class. Lately they’ve been descending into the lower middle class.

U.S. Muslim Clerics Seek a Modern Middle Ground
Laurie Goodstein
Sheik Hamza Yusuf, in a groomed goatee and sports jacket, looked more like a hip white college professor than a Middle Eastern sheik. Imam Zaid Shakir, a lanky African-American in a long brown tunic, looked as if he would fit in just fine on the streets of Damascus.
Both men are converts to Islam who spent years in the Middle East and North Africa being mentored by formidable Muslim scholars. They have since become leading intellectual lights for a new generation of American Muslims looking for homegrown leaders who can help them learn how to live their faith without succumbing to American materialism or Islamic extremism.

Wall Street Doesn't Like This War
Ken Miller
Sectors of the economy can profit from war in certain circumstances, but Wall Street really doesn't like war--at least not the one now raging in Iraq, which is beginning to look like a write-off. The defense industry does like military expenditures. And US capitalists in general do appreciate the role of a robust military budget in bolstering the dollar as the ultimate reserve currency, in assuring that the rules of global finance are favorable to our interests and in protecting access to petroleum products. But we really do not like uncertainty. We like an environment we think we understand, one in which a return- on-capital analysis can be based on reliable assumptions of a predictable level of risk.

A Student's Forest Paper Sparks One Hot Debate
Bettina Boxall and Janet Wilson
A graduate student's finding - that post-fire logging hindered forest regrowth -was hardly revolutionary. But the study, with Donato as lead author, was published just as Congress was considering legislation to make it easier for timber companies to undertake salvage logging of dead trees after fires on federal land. That bill, backed by the Bush administration and recently passed by the House, is based on an underlying assumption that burned forests recover more quickly if they are logged and then replanted.
The student's results provided ammunition to the bill's opponents - and more broadly to environmentalists fighting salvage logging, which makes up roughly a third of the timber sales from national forests across the country. They argue that dead trees provide not only wildlife habitat, but the nourishment for a new forest that will ultimately provide a richer, more diverse ecosystem. That is anathema to timber advocates, who see dead wood left to rot unharvested as not only counterproductive but a waste of resources.

Loving Day Recalls a Time When the Union of a Man And a Woman Was Banned
Neely Tucker
The word "miscegenation" is a linguistic artifact, a sort of postmodern joke, a term most often used with a sense of irony.
But at a backyard barbecue in the District on Sunday afternoon that was dedicated to the joys and intricacies of interracial love, sex and marriage, Lydia and Peter Mosher remembered when bans on interracial relationships were deadly serious. Such laws began in Maryland in 1661, multiplied across the country and did not end until a Virginia case in 1967. No one needs a reminder about the fate of black men who had sex with white women in the Jim Crow era.

Over the last few weeks monetary officials have sounded increasingly worried about rising prices. On Wednesday, Richard Fisher, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, declared that inflation "is running at a rate that is just too corrosive to be accepted by a virtuous central banker."
I'm worried too — but not about recent price increases. What worries me, instead, is the Fed's overreaction to those increases. When it comes to inflation, the main thing we have to fear is fear itself.

An Amnesty by Any Other Name...
Edwin Meese III
The fair and sound [immigration] policy is to give those who are here illegally the opportunity to correct their status by returning to their country of origin and getting in line with everyone else. This, along with serious enforcement and control of the illegal inflow at the border — a combination of incentives and disincentives — will significantly reduce over time our population of illegal immigrants.
America welcomes more immigrants than any other country. But in keeping open that door of opportunity, we also must uphold the rule of law and enhance a fair immigration process, as Ronald Reagan said, to "humanely regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people: American citizenship."

Democrats' loser linguistics: Republicans aren't winning because they have the best buzzwords, but because they're fluent in politics' ground-level language.
Geoffrey Nunberg
'TOGETHER, America can do better." The Democrats' awkward new slogan may not say much more than "Anybody would be an improvement on the current bunch of bozos," yet many Democrats are hoping that it will be enough to bring the party back to life this fall. And they may be right, given the widespread discontent with the administration's apparently bottomless bozosity.
But the very ungrammaticality of the Democrats' slogan reminds you that this is a party with a chronic problem of telling a coherent story about itself, right down to an inability to get its adverbs and subjects to agree. Until Democrats can spell out a more explicit and compelling vision for America, it isn't clear how the party can restore its faded luster.

Saving America
Doug Thompson
None of the political parties are much better than each other. It is all about power and carefully choosing the least destructive party to run the country is the only way to proceed. That is my decision. The democrats will destroy America in one generation. The republicans might take two or three generations, but the self-loathing boomers that screwed everything up will be long gone, dead.

Peace Activists at Hillary Clinton's Speech Try to Take Back "Take Back America"
Medea Benjamin
The Take Back America conference, an annual event
held in Washington, DC this year from June 12-14,
is supposed to be a venue for prominent
progressives to gather and debate the major
issues of our day. Their aim is to "provide the
nation with new vision, new ideas and new
energy." But choosing New York Senator and
probable presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
as a keynote speaker and then stifling dissent
against her pro-war position hardly seems the
stuff of a new vision for America.

Bush and l'affaire Plame -- Zero accountability for "not only what is legal, but what is right"
Judd Legum, Faiz Shakir, Nico Pitney Amanda Terkel and Payson Schwin
White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Presidential Adviser Karl Rove "has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes" in the investigation of the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. Yet the basic facts of the case remain: a senior White House official willfully undermined U.S. national security in an effort to tar a critic of the administration’s case for war in Iraq, then repeatedly misled the American public over his role in the smear campaign.

"Anchor Babies" Away
Mona Charen
In 1970, six percent of all births in the United States were to illegal aliens. In 2002, that figure was 23 percent. In 1994, 36 percent of the births paid for by Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid, were to illegals. That figure has doubtless increased in the intervening 12 years as the rate of illegal immigration has risen.
Any children born in the United States automatically becomes a U.S. citizen. They are instantly eligible for panoply of social services, food stamps and other forms of aid. When they reach the age of 21, theycan petition to have their parents and siblings declared permanent residents.

Born Again Christians Just As Likely to Divorce As Non-Christians
Recent legislation, lawsuits and public demonstrations over the legality of gay marriage are just one battlefront regarding the institution of marriage. A study released by The Barna Group, of Ventura, California, shows that the likelihood of married adults getting divorced is identical among born again Christians and those who are not born again. The study also cited attitudinal data showing that most Americans reject the notion that divorce is a sin.

Research shows tax cuts produce more government spending. Your silence is deafening, conservatives!
Jonathan Chait
A study, by William Niskanen of the Cato Institute, found that the conservative "starve the beast" strategy does not work. Indeed, since 1981, he found that tax cuts tend to produce more spending, while tax hikes produce less.
It would be interesting to see how conservatives reacted to having the factual basis for their entire domestic strategy exposed as a fraud. And it is interesting because "starve the beast" is so central to the GOP approach to governing and because the reaction is a case study in how the conservative movement reacts when its views are disproved.

During the presidency of George W. Bush, the White House has made an unprecedented reach for power
Elizabeth Drew
George Bush's White House has systematically attempted to defy, control, or threaten the institutions that could challenge it: Congress, the courts, and the press. It has attempted to upset the balance of power among the three branches of government provided for in the Constitution; but its most aggressive and consistent assaults have been against the legislative branch: Bush has time and again said that he feels free to carry out a law as he sees fit, not as Congress wrote it.

Antipsychotics Drug Use Climbing: Use of potent antipsychotic drugs to treat children increased more than fivefold from 1993 to 2002.

Antipsychotic medication usage increased to 1,438 per 100,000 children and adolescents in 2002 from 275 per 100,000 from 1993 to 1995. The total number of visits in which the drugs were prescribed rose 1,224,000 in 2002 from 201,000 in 1993 to 1995.
Psychiatrists were more likely to prescribe the drugs than other physicians, according to astudy published in the June issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.

Caught, released, gone underground: Illegal immigrants make mockery of Border Patrol policy
Michael Martinez
They arrested him and took him to the station. They fingerprinted, photographed and questioned him, leaving him red-eyed and tired in a room with more than a dozen other suspected illegal immigrants.
Then Border Patrol agents handed him a "Notice to Appear" before an immigration judge, and by early afternoon the 38-year-old farmworker from El Salvador was escorted out the same door he had entered. Three hours later he was on a bus to Houston, armed with a document that would allow him to pass a Border Patrol checkpoint up the road.
He said he had no intention of returning for the court hearing.

Give the Defense Department an F: Report to Congress on the state of Iraq is inaccurate and misleading.
Anthony H. Cordesman
IF THE UNITED STATES is to win in Iraq, it needs an honest and objective picture of what is happening there. The media and outside experts can provide pieces of this picture, but only the U.S. government has the resources and access to information to offer a comprehensive overview.
But the quarterly report to Congress issued May 30 by the Department of Defense, "Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq," like the weekly reports the State Department issues on Iraq, is profoundly flawed. It does more than simply spin the situation to provide false assurances to lawmakers and the public. It makes basic analytical and statistical mistakes, fails to define key terms, provides undefined and unverifiable survey information and deals with key issues by omission.

'86 Amnesty Frames Immigration Debate: The law, which legalized millions but didn't halt the flow, offers lessons.
Teresa Watanabe and Anna Gorman
With the U.S. Senate's approval of a landmark immigration bill last week, setting up a showdown with the House, some policymakers say moving forward depends on looking back.
In 1986, President Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill featuring, among other things, widespread legalization of illegal immigrants, tougher border enforcement and measures aimed at eliminating the hiring of unauthorized workers. The current Senate proposal includes similar features.
"Here we are again," said Bill King, who headed up the 1986 amnesty program in the western United States for what was then the Immigration and Naturalization Service. "It's almost as if today's politicians are resurrecting the transcripts and speeches from 1986."

Supporting Our troops: Is It Relative?
Brian Settles
As free citizens, we all have a right to voice our opinions in this society. Men and women of moral and political consciousness can not, should not, sit back witnessing a deterioration in our foreign relations with the rest of the world and, at the same time, endure the daily examples of our dedicated servicemen being sacrificed for a bogus military campaign that has minimal prospects for attainment of the unrealistic objectives for which it was launched. The best way we can Support Our Troops is to upgrade the pressure on our elected officials to devise an EXIT STRATEGY that falls short of the manner in which we left Vietnam, running for our lives. More and more are dying everyday in Iraq. The Iraqi security forces may NEVER be ready for prime time on their own.

Lies, damn lies and marriage statistics
Meghan Daum
THE factoid heard 'round the world. Twenty years ago, Newsweek ran a cover story saying a 40-year-old single woman was more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to find a husband. Citing the findings of a Harvard-Yale study, the article effectively told a lot of women that they should start adopting cats now.
Like most headline-making numbers, the figures applied to white, college-educated types were these: A 30-year-old single woman stood a 20% chance of ever getting married. By age 35, her chances dropped to 5%. The terrorist comparison, which wasn't included in the research, was based on the study's calculation that a 40-year-old's chances of marrying were 2.6%.

By big margins, Mexican workers have been the dominant group coming to the United States over the last two decades, yet Washington has opened only limited legal channels for them, and has then repeatedly narrowed those channels.

Book Review: American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century
Jeff Madrick
In Kevin Phillips's view, the Bush energy policy is a prime example of America's failure to confront its most difficult challenges. Phillips, once a member of the Nixon administration, has written a timely book that argues that America is very different from the independent and omnipotent nation portrayed by President Bush and his administration. Dependency on oil is one of three major tendencies that will seriously undermine America's future, he writes, the other two being the influence of radical religion and the growing reliance on debt to support the economy. For Phillips, these constitute "the three major perils to the United States of the twenty-first century," and he offers little hope that the US will avoid the consequences. Since he wrote his widely read The Emerging Republican Majority in 1969, Phillips has published several books lamenting how poorly the Republicans have handled their responsibilities. American Theocracy is his most pessimistic work to date.

Richard A. Viguerie
As a candidate in 2000, George W. Bush was a Rorschach test. Country Club Republicans saw him as another George H.W. Bush; some conservatives, thinking wishfully, saw him as another Ronald Reagan. He called himself a "compassionate conservative," which meant whatever one wanted it to mean. Experts from across the party's spectrum were flown to Austin to brief Bush and reported back: "He's one of us."

Lay Convicted, Bush Walks
Greg Palast
Don't kid yourself. If you think the conviction of Ken Lay means that George W. Bush is serious about going after corporate bad guys, think again.
First, Lay got away with murder - or at least grand larceny. Like Al Capone convicted of failing to file his taxes, Ken Lay, though found guilty of stock fraud, is totally off the hook for his BIG crime: taking down California and Texas consumers for billions through fraud on the power markets. Lay co-convict Jeff Skilling and Enron did not act alone. They connived with a half dozen other power companies and a dozen investment banks to manipulate both the stock market and the electricity market.

Hey Democrats, Why Win?
Adam Nagourney
Election Day is six months away, and the question being asked only partly in jestis: Is it really in the best interest of the Democratic Party to win control of the House and Senate in November? Might the party's long-term fortunes actually be helped by falling short?
There's the prospect of continued conflict in Iraq, high gas prices, corruption investigations, Republican infighting and a gridlocked Congress. Democrats would have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2008, by this reasoning, and for the future they enhance their stature at a time when Republicans are faltering.

The New World order, Pilgrim style
Jim Rossi
Had the native Americans won King Philip's War, they might have wiped New England off the map forever. It was fought with musket, sword and bow in swamps and forests with armies of hundreds — although sometimes only dozens. Each side executed prisoners, burned villages and massacred women and children. The colonists prevailed only by dividing the tribes, making Mohawks and Mohegans their allies and remaining united themselves. It was, Rhode Island founder Roger Williams wrote, "our duty and engagement for one Englishman to stand to the death by each other in all parts of the world."
The original Pilgrims were neither religious patriots nor bloody conquerors. And the native Americans they befriended, then betrayed were more sophisticated and less peaceful than commonly believed.

The Illegal Immigration Debate
Jonathan Curiel
Today in the streets and capitols of the United States the fate of minorities perceived as outsiders (illegal immigrant Hispanic workers now instead of blacks) is hanging in the balance. The politics of immigration is like any other brand of politics: It's often divisive, raw, and emotional. Logically, newly established Americans would empathize with other immigrants trying to forge new rights for themselves.
"The default position (for immigrants) is to sympathize, but when it comes down to it, the immigrants who are here don't want to have their position challenged by new immigrants coming in," says Jeremi Suri, history professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is an expert on protest movements. "Once you're here and established and rooted here, at least in the economy, other people coming into the economy to compete with you are of course threatening to your position."

Hope is the antithesis of action. Hope expects that someone else will do the hard work of change, that things will just...get better.
Derrick Jensen
When we stop hoping for external assistance, when we stop hoping that the awful situation we're in will somehow resolve itself, when we stop hoping the situation will somehow not get worse, then we are finally free—truly free—to honestly start working to resolve it. I would say that when hope dies, action begins.
A WONDERFUL THING happens when you give up on hope, which is that you realize you never needed it in the first place. You realize that giving up on hope didn't kill you. It didn't even make you less effective. In fact it made you more effective, because you ceased relying on someone or something else to solve your problems—you ceased hoping your problems would somehow get solved through the magical assistance of God, the Great Mother, the Sierra Club, valiant tree-sitters, brave salmon, or even the Earth itself—and you just began doing whatever it takes to solve those problems yourself.

Chalmers Johnson, who served in the U.S. Navy and now is a historian of American militarism, lives cheek by jowl with his former service.
So what kind of empire is ours? The unit is not the colony, it's the military base. This is not quite as unusual as defenders of the concept of empire often assume. That is to say, we can easily calculate the main military bases of the Roman Empire in the Middle East, and it turns out to be about the same number it takes to garrison the region today. You need about 38 major bases. You can plot them out in Roman times and you can plot them out today.

Coming Home from War on the Cheap
Judith Coburn
Much has been written about how President Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld waged war on the cheap, sending too few ill-equipped young soldiers -- 30% of them ill-trained Reservists and National Guardsmen -- into battle. But little has been reported about how shockingly on-the-cheap the homecomings of these soldiers have proved to be. The Bush administration awarded Blake Miller a medal, but it has fought for three long years to deny soldiers like him the care they need. While Miller and his men were being thrown into the fire in Falluja, the White House was proposing to cut the combat pay of soldiers like them. (Only an outburst of outrage across the political spectrum caused the administration to back off from that suggestion.)

The Immigration Debate, Parte Dos
Joseph Phillips
America *was* founded by immigrants and immigrants to this nation — both willing and unwilling — have contributed much to American culture and history. The heated debate we're now having bears no relation to Ellis Island. We are not discussing absorbing immigrants fleeing oppression or famine, or even whether we are accepting too many immigrants from a particular region. The issue is the right of a sovereign people to decide the manner and place of migration across its borders. Americans are not opposed to immigration. They are opposed to illegal immigration.

The Conspiracy Against Assimilation
Robert J. Samuelson
It's all about assimilation -- or it should be. One of America's glories is that it has assimilated many waves of immigrants. Outsiders have become insiders. But it hasn't been easy. Every new group has struggled: Germans, Irish, Jews and Italians. All have encountered economic hardship, prejudice and discrimination. The story of U.S. immigration is often ugly. If today's wave of immigration does not end in assimilation, it will be a failure. By this standard, I think the major contending sides in the present bitter debate are leading us astray. Their proposals, if adopted, would frustrate assimilation.

Capital flows today are bigger in relative terms, but a century ago they were more evenly distributed between rich and poor countries. After 1914, however, globalization fell apart, and by the 1930s the world economy had fragmented — with disastrous consequences for growth and employment

Bill Maher's Advice to President Bush
Bill Maher
Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you anymore. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the Army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.
Listen to your mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards' maxed out. No one's speaking to you: Mission accomplished.

Amid Rallies, Questions Over Immigrants' Impact / Q&A: Illegal Immigrants and the U.S. Economy
Liane Hansen and Adam Davidson ; Adam Davidson
Many economists say the effect -- good or bad -- of 11 million undocumented workers is minimal. Overall, illegal immigrants don't have a big impact on U.S. wage rates. Respected recent studies show most Americans would notice little difference in their paychecks if illegal immigrants suddenly disappeared from the U.S. The wages of low-skill high-school dropouts are suppressed by somewhere between 3 percent and 8 percent because of competition from immigrants, both legal and illegal.
The economic impact of illegal immigration is far smaller than other trends in the economy (e.g., increasing automation in manufacturing or the growth in global trade). These factors have a bigger impact on wages, prices and the health of the U.S. economy

CEO Pay Growing
Kathy M. Kristof Deals undermine efforts to tie compensation to corporate performance
One reason executive pay has soared in recent years is that compensation deals are getting more lucrative at the front end, with fat signing bonuses and initial grants of stock. That allows some chief executives to bank large sums of money before they've proved themselves on the job. Over a five-year period, 11 companies paid their CEOs a combined $865 million — while they presided over a $640-billion decline in shareholder value

Guard the Borders -- And Face Facts, Too
George F. Will
Border control isimportant for four reasons. First, control of borders is an essential attribute of sovereignty. Second, conditions along the border mock the rule of law. Third, large rallies by immigrants, many of them here illegally, protesting more stringent control of immigration reveal that many immigrants have, alas, assimilated: They have acquired the entitlement mentality created by America's welfare state, asserting an entitlement to exemption from the laws of the society they invited themselves into. Fourth, giving Americans a sense that borders are controlled is a prerequisite for calm consideration of what policy that control should serve.

A Poverty of the Mind
Orlando Patterson
The "cool-pose culture" of young black men is too gratifying to give up. For them it was almost like a drug, hanging out on the street after school, shopping and dressing sharply, sexual conquests, party drugs, hip-hop music and culture, the fact that almost all the superstar athletes and a great many of the nation's best entertainers were black.
They find this subculture immensely fulfilling. It also brought them a great deal of respect from white youths. Nevertheless, young black men and women tend to have the highest levels of self-esteem of all ethnic groups; their self-image is independent of how badly they were doing in school.

Some of the unstated stipulations in the Declaration of Limited Independence and the Bill of Restricted Rights. The usual unfocused and mindless riots were followed by the usual unfollowed special commission musings.

A Conservative Criticizes A Neocon About Iraq Asesses American Weaknesses and the Need for A Global Role
Niall Ferguson
The first big neocon error was their abandonment of realism. In particular, there was a failure to grasp the implications of toppling Hussein for the Middle Eastern balance of power. Henry Kissinger was right when he said of the Iran-Iraq war: "A pity they both can't lose." By getting rid of Hussein, the United States unwittingly handed Iran a belated victory.

Bill O’Reilly’s baroque period
Nicholas Lemann
Bill O’Reilly’s classical period, the first few years of “The O’Reilly Factor”—which débuted in 1996, at the same time as Fox News—O’Reilly seemed to be a recognizable member of the conservative-talk-show-host species, like his Fox stablemate Sean Hannity, or like Joe Scarborough, on MSNBC. He attacked Bill Clinton and Al Gore relentlessly; the Monica Lewinsky scandal was his signature subject. Now, ten years later, O’Reilly has become baroque, and “The O’Reilly Factor” is a complex affair, dense with self-references, obsessions, and elaborations, even though it still delivers a satisfying punch.

Senator Russ Feingold: A Peculiar Politician?
William Greider
Senator Russ Feingold is an embarrassment to the US Senate, which makes him an authentic hero of the Republic. The Wisconsin senator gets up and says out loud what half of the country is thinking and talks about every day. This President broke the law and lied about it; he trashed the Constitution and hides himself in the flag. Feingold asks: Shouldn't the Senate say something about this, at least express our disapproval? He introduces a resolution of censure and calls for debate.

Russ Feingold tossed a political grenade at President Bush; many Democratic senators ran away.
E. J. Dionne Jr.
Russ Feingold tossed a political grenade at President Bush this week. Many Democratic senators ran away.
The grenade was the Wisconsin senator's proposal to censure the president for violating the law by ordering electronic surveillance on Americans without explicit congressional or court authorization. The episode says more about Bush's political frailty than first-blush accounts have suggested. It also underscored the frictions and tensions between passionate Democratic activists and their cautious leaders.

I don’t know about you, but I have had it with the D.C. Democrats, had it with the DLC Democrats, had it with every calculating, equivocating, triangulating, straddling, hair-splitting son of a bitch up there, and that includes Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As usual, the Democrats have forty good issues on their side and want to run on thirty-nine of them. Here are three they should stick to:
1) Iraq is making terrorism worse; it’s a breeding ground. We need to extricate ourselves as soon as possible. We are not helping the Iraqis by staying.
2) Full public financing of campaigns so as to drive the moneylenders from the halls of Washington.
3) Single-payer health insurance.

Army to Launch Criminal Probe of Former NFL Star Pat Tillman's Death

The Army has said that it would launch a criminal probe into Pat Tillman's death. The onetime National Football League star was inadvertently killed by gunfire from fellow soldiers in Afghanistan in 2004.
The Army's decision came after the Pentagon's inspector general reviewed the case and recommended further investigation into whether soldiers in Tillman's unit should be charged with negligent homicide.

BE AFRAID. Be very afraid. That's the message we Americans receive daily from everyone from government officials to newscasters, environmentalists and corporate marketers. Let's face it: like sex, fear sells. But has hyperactive fear-mongering become corrosive to American society? That's what a growing number of social critics and sociologists are concluding. In a nation so proud of its pioneering spirit, the culture of precaution, they say, is turning us into a bunch of chickens.

Joe Bageant
We no longer depend upon community and other people around us. We live in our houses, idiotically sited vinyl "Tudor-esque" fuck-boxes with brick facade (sorry Neddie, I just had to steal that lick) which grow bigger each year in order to accommodate our massive asses, egos and collection of goods, and we "order out." Or go shopping for it at the mall. Beyond the need to get laid, there is little real reason to be together with other thinking, feeling adults. We do not need each other to do anything important in our lives, because all those things are performed by strangers, often as not thousands of miles away.

In the race to get ahead economically, America's young workers are falling behind. A new survey shows median incomes fell for householders under 45, even as they rose for older ones, between 2001 and 2004.

The United States reaps the grief Bush has sown
Cynthia Tucker
President Bush is a great professor of politics. His lessons — have become essential political wisdom:
* All Arabs are alike (topple Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with the terrorist atrocities of Sept. 11, 2001.
* In the pursuit of power, politics trumps principle. Never risk alienating the part of your base that's loony and hateful by publicly criticizing their xenophobia.
A war on terror can cover a lot of ground. No programs, no policies, no answers? No problem. When you're waging a war on terror, you don't have to make sense or explain yourself.

Is Freedom Just Another Word for Many Things to Buy?
Barry Schwartz, Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner Snibe
In today's America, everyone appears to agree that freedom is about having choices and that having more choices means having more freedom. Choice is what enables all of us to live exactly the kind of lives we want to and think we should.
But this "wisdom" is suspecrt. First, most Americans do not think freedom is about exercising more and more choice. Secondly, more choice does not seem to make them feel freer. Americans are increasingly bewildered — not liberated — by the sheer volume of choices they must make in a day.

TODD GITLIN'S objective with his 11th book, "The Intellectuals and the Flag," is "to contribute to a new start for the intellectual life on the left."
"Post Vietnam liberals have an opening now, freed of our sixties flag anxiety and our automatic rejection of the use of force. To live out a democratic pride, not a slavish surrogate, we badly need liberal patriotism, robust and uncowed."

Eight simple steps to a Swiffer Congress
Jonathan Turley
Improprieties are all too common in Washington. Although there are calls for reform, the smart money in Washington has to be on the long-armed lobbyists, not the short-memoried voters. Just in case anyone is serious, however, here are eight simple changes that would clean up Congress.

Another Marie Antoinette Moment
David Brooks, chief executive of the bulletproof vest manufacturer DHB Industries Inc., made hundreds of millions of dollars, principally from federal and municipal contracts for bulletproof vests. 18,000 of those vests were recalled by the United States military, some from Iraq.
A report on ballooning pay for chief executives singled out Brooks for making $70 million in 2004 compared with $525,000 in pre-Iraq-war 2001. He made an additional $186 million in 2004 selling company stock.

The Top Break-ups of 2005 (That Didn't Involve Hollywood Stars)
Michelle Cottle
Many of the most sensational and surprising splits of the past year involved public officials, journalists, and buttoned-down executive types who don't merit the cover of In Style or Us Weekly, in large part because no one wants to see them in tight jeans and swimwear.

2005: Bad Year for Goliath. How About David?
Rebecca Solnit
To say this was a bad year for Goliath doesn't mean it was a good one for "the little people." U.S. public opinion has almost caught up with the rest of the world in opposing the war, but Iraqis are still being bombed and American soldiers are still dying.

The Tax-Cut Zombies (The GOP)
Paul Krugman
The GOP tax-cut theory was memorably described by David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's budget director, as "starving the beast." Proponents of this theory argue that conservatives should seek tax cuts not because they won't create budget deficits, but because they will. Starve-the-beasters believe that budget deficits will lead to spending cuts that will eventually achieve their true aim: shrinking the government's role back to what it was under Calvin Coolidge.

Kurt Vonnegut's son defends him against charges of supporting terrorists
Mark Vonnegut
FOR THE past month or so it's been said and repeated that Kurt Vonnegut supports terrorism. The desire to have it be true is almost palpable. If novelist Kurt Vonnegut supports terrorism, then maybe all critics of the war are on some level proterrorist.
Kurt Vonnegut cares not a fig about the Middle East. He's never been there, doesn't think about their art or writing, may or may not be able to pick out some of their capitals and important rivers on a map. His true heroes are Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain.

Scrooges in the House of Representatives
Derrick Z. Jackson
Billions of dololars in cuts for student loans, Medicaid, and food stamps made by the House of Representatives.
They passed the final part of what amounts to $95 billion in tax cuts. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that $70 billion of the $95 billion in tax cuts will go to households making over $100,000. That category accounts for 14 percent of households. That 14 percent will get 74 percent of the money.

Chinks in the Republican Armor
Fred Hiatt
GOP links in a power chain the Democrats could never break: The GOP could press lobbyists to hire only Republicans and give money only to Republicans. The money would guarantee dominance in state legislatures. The legislatures would redraw congressional districts so Democrats could never win.
Republican-appointed judges could be counted on to slap down any complainers. But the chain holds only as long as people vote next year the way they voted last year.

Derrick Z. Jackson
House of Representratives takes from the pooor and gives to the rich. It cut $50 billion from programs serving low-income Americans. It passed the final part of what amounts to $95 billion in tax cuts. Out went billions for student loans, Medicaid, and food stamps.
The top 20 percent of American households would get 88.9 percent of the House's tax-cut benefits. the bottom 20 percent would get only 11.1 percent. Twenty-four percent of the benefits would go to Americans who make more than $1 million a year, 0.2 percent of the population.

The vast majority of undocumented migrants from Mexico were gainfully employed before they left for the U.S., according to a Pew Hispanic Center report. The report suggests failure to find work at home does not seem to be the primary reason the estimated 6.3 million undocumented migrants from Mexico have come to the U.S.
