Purpose

We want to spread the awareness of the unique nature of the Pacific Northwest, where people have always blazed their own trails. We hold that it is once again time to consider our commonwealth, to speak for a sustainable future separate from the suicidal path of environmental, spiritual and societal destruction inherent in the rise of the corporate state.

Bush Fatigue

Today’s bit of ugliness - A report about U.S. soldiers who detained an elderly Iraqi woman in her 70s, placed a harness on her and made her crawl on all fours and rode her like a donkey. She is still traumatized by this treatment, several months later. Just one more example of “your tax dollars at work”...

I read in Maureen Dowd’s column in the NY Times that the only thing that seems to upset Republicans about this long string of bad news is that Jeb Bush would probably not be able to succeed his brother. “By 2008,” a wistful Republican fund-raiser said, “there’ll probably be Bush fatigue.”

I got news for you, pal - the whole world’s got “Bush fatigue” already. Wake up and smell the hubris.
