Today's the day! So many months -- and years -- of one's life go into writing a book, and then one day, if you're lucky, it's placed on the shelves of a bookstore (and now, in the new century, it is converted to ones and zeroes downloaded onto your e-reading ...
Does President Obama Want to Impose a Crushing Burden on Our Children?
Sorry deficit fanatics, this one has nothing to do with the cost of the stimulus or the deficits run-up during the Obama years. We're talking real money here. We're talking about plans to raise the age of Medicare eligibility to 67. To deficit hawks everywhere this is a great way ...
Mr President, Let Us Live in Peace on a Healthy Planet Earth
PRESIDENT OBAMA promised on October 27, 2007: "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am President, it is the FIRST THING I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You ...
The Constructive Anarchy of a Vermont Peoples' Movement
A blue sky dawned on the day after Irene blew through Vermont last week. At first sight of the colossal damage that their rivers and creeks had caused, Vermonters were stunned and shocked. Just as quickly, they went to work. The overwhelming magnitude of the damage prevented our local town ...
"My Terrorists" -- The Excerpt Everyone's Talking About from "HERE COMES TROUBLE" by Michael Moore
This week, I gave permission to London's Guardian newspaper to publish an excerpt from my new book, HERE COMES TROUBLE, before it hits the shelves next week (or, to put it another way, no American paper was going to run a 4,000-word piece from yours truly!). This excerpt, which the ...
The True Nature of the War in Afghanistan
The Afghanistan war is not the good war we should have fought instead of Iraq. It is not about making us safer from terrorism. It is not about suffocating the rising tide of Islamic extremism. It is not about spreading women’s rights. And it is certainly not about exporting democracy. ...

What Really Irks Me About The GOP
You know what really makes me sick about the Republican Party? For eight years, we had what they want us to think was the blissful splendor that was the George W. Bush administration. Well, we know what a complete mess that turned out to be. No matter how much the ...
The Corrupt Establishment Begins Smearing Eric Schneiderman
Last month we had New York Fed Board Member Kathryn Wylde whining and meddling about Eric Schneiderman’s investigation into big banks. That seriously backfired. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan put pressure on him as well, and that didn’t go over so well. And after Tom Miller petulantly stopped allowing Schneiderman on ...
Will President Obama side with the Koch brothers or American families?
Charles Koch, one of our country's most prolific conservative donors, was recorded praising his oil, energy and Wall Street friends who contributed millions of dollars to his political causes. That Koch likely referred to President Obama as Saddam Hussein and framed the upcoming election as the "mother of all wars" ...

Brief Analysis Of Obama's Job Initiative
The old saying goes, if at first you don’t succeed, you try and try again. We’re taught this almost from infancy. You fall off your bike? Get back on or you’ll never learn how to ride without the training wheels. Sometimes it’s pretty painful to learn things in this manner. ...

Peace Prizes for War Presidents, Missile Tests on Day of Peace
The U.S. missile ‘defense” system is simply not defensive. It is offensive in every sense of the word and it is increasing tensions throughout the world. Even on the day where the world is to think about peace--- World Peace Day on September 21—you would not know that the day existed ...
Labor Day Reflection: Time for Americans to participate in power
The Roman philosopher and statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero said “Freedom is participation in power.” By that standard Americans are not free. We do not participate in power. We do not even have power over our own economic lives, our elected “representatives” ignore us and listen to the moneyed interests sending ...

No, not 29 million job offers. I'm no better at applying for jobs than you are, and my town offers nothing but dead-end McJobs or positions in the military industrial complex, just like yours. I mean I just spotted an easy way to create 29 million jobs, one for every ...
