I'll start with More nude Peace activism in California before moving on to more frat-boy stuff -

More Krugman - As a drunk is to alcohol, the Bush administration is to budget deficits.

[With Republicans,] we'll probably be on a deficit bender until the baby boomers retire — and then it will get much worse.

Did I mention that they are trying to kill poor people off now, by denyiny them access to ER care?.

PETA also had their latest pr nude event, a skating no-fur protest. No question here I support skin over fur anyday.

And this segues into...

The question you have to ask anyone who supports Bush's tort reform limits, do you think your spouse or child's life is only worth $250,000 no matter how badly someone screws up and kills them?

In Texas our new Republican attorney general is all in favor of this reform, he already got his $10 million from an accident that left him with paralysis. Maybe if you tell Republicans they can't get their $10 million they will think more about this. Or are only the ones getting sued for bad actions heard from by the Republicans...

It's like the American public not hearing about the anti-war movement.
Since, of course, most of the war protest news is missing in action.

On Jan. 11, tens of thousands participated in an anti-war protest in Los Angeles, and a similar turnout is expected in San Francisco on Saturday. Anti- war rallies are also to be held in Orange County, near the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, and in Washington.

The demographics of these events are telling. Showing up these days: Not just the usual kooky cadres of semi-professional protest junkies, anti- globalization crusaders and whacked-out conspiracy theorists but protesters from the solid middle class as well. It's time for Washington to start worrying.

Not to worry, the connected press corps didn't notice that mistakes were made in Globalization, why should they notice this administrations pattern of mistakes and the real people this time?
