[Open Left - Front Page] Masturbatory Practitioners Of Bad Performance Art: His complaints range all over, from a contemporary African-American socialist group in Florida, to street protesters in 1968, to academics, to WTO protesters in 1999, to those who worked on the FISA campaign, to those who opposed the Iraq war but failed to stop it, to progressive Democrats in the 1990's, to people who want Wes Clark to be VP, to commenters in a thread at Jack and Jill Politics, and on and on. Giordano appears to be trying to create some sort of historical lineage of "progressives" who he doesn't like because they engage in "broken patterns of activism." However, the broken patterns of activism are never defined, and the people who subscribe to those patterns are never listed.

[Reidblog [The Reid Report blog]] The war for Iraqi oil: The bottom line: the Bush administration sought the invasion of Iraq from the time they stepped into office, and initially drafted a plan, in secret meetings with oil industry giants, and including "the late" Ken Lay, which included staging a coup to replace the inconvenient dictator of Iraq with an oil industry favorite, and maintaining the nationalized Iraqi oil industry under the control of U.S. and European firms.
