It's all true, sort of. Because, like so many dire warnings and images, these are designed to provoke a charitable, uncritical, mass response: Because things are so bad, let's all pull together to provide water and sanitation.

But don't look behind the curtain where the promotional strings are being pulled by major multinational water companies with a very specific agenda: to make water an economic commodity that is bought and sold on global markets and is managed by transnational companies that claim to be more efficient, flexible and cheaper than public water agencies.

Janeane- How about getting Harry Belafonte on MR as a guest? He was at Cooper Union Sat. night and was absolutely marvelous talking about his life and involvement in civil rights and his present role as a progressive spokesperson and a thorn in the Bush Administration's side. I'm sure you heard him on Democracy Now! today if you were not at Cooper Union on Sat. I do not remember if he was ever a guest on AAR or MR, but he is truly an outstanding individual and would be great to hear on your show.

"Chávez is much-criticized, both in Venezuela and abroad. His most vociferous opponents see him as a dangerous and authoritarian militarist who threatens Venezuelan democracy. They also report that both poverty, unemployment, and corruption figures under Chávez have not seen improvement.[76][77] They also note the 1% drop in Venezuela's per-capita GDP under Chávez. The opposition cites the many public hospitals that lack basic supplies, while others describe Chávez as a demagogue with a personality cult. They also question the payments to poor Venezuelans enrolling in Chávez's social programs, worrying that such dependency corrupts their work ethic and predispose them being pro-Chávez.
Chávez and Cuban leader Fidel Castro on the 2005-04-11 cover of the National Review. Chávez and Castro are often reported by media as being among the most dangerous threats facing democracy, free trade, and security in the Western Hemisphere.

Chávez also stands accused of electoral fraud and political repression, including keeping anti-Chávez activists as political prisoners.[78] Others claim that Chávez is not fulfilling promises regarding labor and land reform.[79][80][81] Abroad, Chávez is reported as being a confrontational ideologue[82] who supports and trains terrorists.[83][84] Furthermore, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented human rights violations under Chávez.[5][6] Scores of deaths and hundreds of injuries inflicted during both opposition and pro-Chávez demonstrations saw little official investigation. Meanwhile, Chávez faces allegations of both censorship and ill treatment or torture of his opponents. Chávez supporters counter by alleging repression of Chávez supporters and social workers by anti-Chávez mayors; using this claim, the Chávez government is attempting to place local police forces under federal control. Meanwhile, relatives of victims who were killed in the April 11, 2002 clashes filed a case against Chávez and others at the International Criminal Court, stating that Chávez committed crimes against humanity. A final decision is pending.

Finally, Chávez is criticized for his controversial statements, including his

three cheers for log cabin republicans!!!

inally, Chávez is criticized for his controversial statements, including his January 2006 statement that “[t]he world is for all of us, then, but it so happens that a minority, the descendants of the same ones that crucified Christ, the descendants of the same ones that kicked Bolívar out of here and also crucified him in their own way over there in Santa Marta, in Colombia. A minority has taken possession all of the wealth of the world...”[85] The Simon Wiesenthal Center omitted the reference to Bolívar without ellipsis, stated that Chávez was referring to Jews, and denounced the remarks as antisemitic by way of his allusions to wealth. Meanwhile, the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, and the Confederation of Jewish Associations of Venezuela defended Chávez, stating that he was speaking not of Jews, but of South America's white oligarchy.[86]

Increase in Contracting Intelligence Jobs Raises Concerns

Monday 20 March 2006

AllWorld Language Consultants Inc., a Rockville firm, is seeking experienced military interrogators to work in Iraq for $153,500 a year plus bonuses, with proficiency in Arabic "preferred but not required," according to Yahoo's Hot Jobs listings.

The U.S. Army element of the Multi-National Force-Iraq is looking for a private contractor to provide airborne surveillance over that country that will "provide situational awareness of the entire area of operations," according to another Web announcement.

Lockheed Martin Corp. is seeking a counterintelligence analyst to work for the Pentagon's newest intelligence agency, the Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), in its Colorado Springs facility to "create and deliver briefings, write reports, and represent Counterintelligence Field Activity," according to a Web classified ad.

These positions and thousands like them are part of a growing trend at the Pentagon to contract out intelligence jobs that were formerly done primarily by service personnel and civil service employees.

Notice the passive voice, "Chavez is criticized" -- not mentioning WHO is doing the criticizing -- because it's the same pseudo-macho droolbuckets who sit endlessly copying & re-copying greatgranpa's "God & Man at Yale" , juts cutting in & pasting new names & more recent events . . .

Rightwingers live in a sort of quotocracy -- "Look, someone WROTE it! It doesn't HAVE to be tested in the actual world!! How dare you question the authoritarian of what I HAVE QUOTED!!!!"

Multiple Layers of Contractors Drive Up Cost of Katrina Cleanup

New Orleans - How many contractors does it take to haul a pile of tree branches? If it's government work, at least four: a contractor, his subcontractor, the subcontractor's subcontractor, and finally, the local man with a truck and chainsaw.

If the job is patching a leaking roof, the answer may be five contractors, or even six. At the bottom tier is a Spanish-speaking crew earning less than 10 cents for every square foot of blue tarp installed. At the top, the prime contractor bills the government 15 times as much for the same job.

Katrina Survivors: Don't Abandon Us
A Film by Chris Humez

On Tuesday, March 14th, Katrina survivors converged on Washington to protest FEMA's eviction of those displaced by Katrina from their motel rooms. Chris Hume spoke to people affected by the policy. This time there has been no extension or court order extending the program. People once displaced by Katrina are now being displaced by our government. Photo by Isis.

Subject: Tribune's Dennis Byrne tells Republican voters to crossover
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 16:35:16 -0600

“A certain number of dissatisfied Republicans will reject them all and pick up a Democratic primary ballot, motivated by the knowledge that they can get better government by voting for two challengers, Forrest Claypool for Cook County Board president and Edwin Eisendrath for governor. The Claypool vote is especially important because a comatose county Republican Party makes the election of a Democrat nearly certain.

And Republicans in the west suburban 6th Congressional District can do a service by crossing into the Democratic primary to vote for Christine Cegelis, the more likely of two candidates to beat a shameless interloper, Tammy Duckworth. In an incredible act of arrogance, she was imposed on the district by Democratic money man Rahm Emanuel and outsiders who think they know better than the voters who should represent them.”

Top 10 COnservative Idiots of the Week:

#1 Katherine Harris

IT'S ON! Last week, Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Election Thief) announced to a boner-popping Sean Hannity that she would not be abandoning her doomed Senate race, and made a shocking prediction - "I'm going to win." Harris made the announcement on "Hannity & Colmes," pausing for dramatic effect as she stared deep into the camera in a manner which I presume was supposed to be alluring but was actually more reminiscent of Goldfinger saying, "No Mr. Bond... I expect you to die." See for yourself - Crooks & Liars has the video.

I was always very impressed with Janeane's insight and fearlessness, but after her recitation tonight of a passage from Iceberg Slim to describe the Republican party, she is now OFFICIAL! That was absolutely genius Janeane!!!

I've heard Janeane mention this concept that the Right won't speak badly of their own but the Left does it all the time. Now I found the reason.

"Speak no evil of other Republicans."
- Reagan

"the DNC is NO better, just less organized and even more fractional since they lacked the charismatic leader(Reagan) to spout the 11th Commandment of "speak no evil of other Republicans" and thus remain more balkanized"

Wish I could reproduce an article from a local newspaper headline tongiht... the banner article was about the local Republicans infighting because the party chairman is trying to "throw out the results of the May primary in five GOP committeeraces"...because "the candidates"..."have been told they are politically unfit to serve the Republican posts because of their recent support of Democratic candidates."

Don't think I can find a link, though...

I must have been having a sexy dream as my vagina was well and truely wet and needed to have a good seeing to. Spreading my thighs wide, I gently started to rub my swollen clitoris with one hand,lubricating it with my juices and playing with my large breast with the other, then bringing one of my breast to my mouth, sucking and teasing it, coating my nipples with juices from my dripping pussy and licking them, tasting my scent, making me feel even more horny as the rush of my first orgasm explodes causing me to buck and shake on the bed, but I'm still hungry for more, not satisfied yet. I leave the bedroom and pad down to the kitchen where I know that in the fridge is a nice long, thick, cool cucumber just waiting for me. Back in the bedroom I go to the locked drawer in the dresser and take out an item, a length of electric flex with a plug on one end and special electrodes on the other. It's been a long time since I've felt this horny and the only way I can satisfy my nymphomaniac horniness is to have an electric orgasm. I insertrd one of the special chromium bullet shaped electrodes deep inside my pussy about eleven inches in, then using a condom, roll it onto the cucumber to secure the second electrode so that it is tightly attached to the cucumber at one end, leaving about ten inches of cucumber exposed, by this time I'm ready to masturbate with anything to get satisfaction.

I can't stand this teasing anymore, my pussy is begging for satisfaction and so I push it nearly all the way in, loud slurping noises coming from inside, the intensity is so gorgeous, beads of perspiration drip from my forehead and my breathing has increased, the cucumber is a blur as I plunge it in and out at a ferious rate, I am like a nymphomaniac gone crazy, screeming out with off the scale pleasure.

Janeane's on fire tonight. She rocks.

McCain Takes on DeLay Accomplice
By Paul Kiel - March 20, 2006, 12:01 PM
There have been a number of signs lately that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), eyeing 2008, is cozying up to the Republican establishment, but this just might be the surest one yet.

The Washington Post reported yesterday that McCain had hired Terry Nelson to be a senior advisor to his political committee, the Straight Talk America PAC. Who is Terry Nelson? George W. Bush's national political director in 2004, for one. It's just the latest example of McCain's strategy of taking what he can of Bush's money infrastructure - as the Post reports, he's been busily recruiting Pioneers, Rangers and Super Rangers from '04.

But there's one crucial, telling detail about Terry Nelson that the Post leaves out. And that's his role in the money laundering scheme for which Tom DeLay is being prosecuted down in Texas.

Nelson was the deputy chief of staff of the Republican National Committee in 2002 when the alleged crime occurred. His role was crucial, although he hasn't been charged. He's named right there in the indictment.

DeLay and his money men, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, are accused of trying to get around a Texas law against using corporate money to fund candidates. To do that, they wrote a check to the RNC and had the RNC bounce the money back to the Texas candidates they wanted to fund. According to the indictment, the scheme was laid out to Terry Nelson, and he made sure the RNC carried it out.

Is the slime in McCain starting to ooze out?

If anyone listened to Bush's speech today, he indirectly blamed the Clinton administration for pre-war intelligence (WMD). Gee, I didn't see that coming.

Where's his resolve when it comes to taking responsibility?

Terrific coverage from the veterans.

What would have happened in 2004 if Kerry had had the courage to make his Winter Soldier testimony the centerpiece of his campaign? The only reason Kerry was known was because he was such an articulate antiwar spokesman, who brought home the truth about the brutality & ugliness of the American assault on the Vietnamese. These vets -- and the ones who didn't make it, and the ones who are maimed for life, not to mention the Iraqi peoples -- needed THAT young man . . .
