Public Final Salute to the Fallen (except by AWOL Bush)

clipped by: ratcatcher2
clippers remarks: What could have been expected of an AWOL cold fish with not an ounce of empathy for the families of the soldiers that hed sent to their deaths for his LIES with illegal invasions. He nearly ran over Cindy Sheehan at Crawford to avoid commiserating with her on her sons death

He could not find time to attend any funerals away from his golf and playing with himself. He banned any public images of the final farewell, probably to disguise his absence.

Beyond War: A New Economy is Possible!

clipped by: nedhamson1
This past Saturday, April 4, in honor of Dr. King and his visionary Beyond Vietnam speech in 1967, 10,000 people marched on Wall Street to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to demand a larger investment in the needs of our communities. Labor, veterans, students, immigrant rights groups, military families, faith-based people, womens groups, and community groups joined us for a lively, vibrant march.

Joining us, too, was Rev. James Lawson, a leader to us all and co-worker with Dr. King. Speaking before the start of the march, Lawson said to marchers, In the spirit of Dr. King and the movement for equality and justice of the fifities and sixties, I say if we want peace to blossom, we must eradicate poverty, racism, sexism, violence, and greed in the U.S. Peace cannot come by crying peace. Peace can only begin to emerge when justice does.

Pretty Good Week!!!

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: But if you have any question as to whether or not her visit, meant to spin the fuck out of the foul shit going on at GITMO, is a symptom of all that is wrong and unholy in the world, take a look at what one right wing *nutblog had to say in support of her:

Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza, by the way, was crowned Miss Universe in July 2008 in Nha Trang, Vietnam. It?s like she?s the In-Your-Face Ambassador of Free World Hotness to the Commie Holdout World.

And scene.

dayana-mendoza_4_1_09When beauty queens blog it can only result in one thing: material for us. And when reigning Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza took time from her USO sponsored trip to Guanatamo Bay to record her thoughts reflections and spa treatments, well really this post wrote itself.


Here?s her post in its entirety, dated March 27, 2009, which has already been removed from the Miss Universe Website:


This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience.


Wait, wait, wait. Mark this day. We?re speechless. Thankfully this post is writing itself.


Dayana?s post was promptly removed and replaced with a message from Paula M. Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization saying that Dayana was only talking about the hospitality she received from the military and their families. Oh, we?re sure the wives loved her.

Hunger For Sons

clipped by: debbyski
Clip Source: www.nytimes.com


SHENZHEN, China ? The thieves often strike at dusk, when children are playing outside and their parents are distracted by exhaustion.


Deng Huidong lost her 9-month-old son in the blink of an eye as a man yanked him from the grip of his 7-year-old sister near the doorway of their home.

Sun Zuo, a gregarious 3 1/2-year-old, was lured off by someone with a slice of mango and a toy car, an abduction that was captured by police surveillance cameras.


Although some are sold to buyers in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, most of the boys are purchased domestically by families desperate for a male heir

The demand is especially strong in rural areas of south China

?A girl is just not as good as a son,? said Mr. Su

?It doesn?t matter how much money you have. If you don?t have a son, you are not as good as other people who have one.?

Without a real social safety net in China, many parents fear they will be left to fend for themselves in old age.

Admiral says war veterans will suffer for years

clipped by: rmowery
clippers remarks: The government better ante up on this and insure they take care of our Vets. This prediction from the Adm is nothing different from what our Vets faced in Vietnam. In both cases there was no reason to send our troops into harms way and it sounds like again our government is not going to help those who were sent there to fight.

This is another example of the absurdity of how those in top power of the government use our military and just toss aside those who have erved their country. We all need to help these folks returning home.

Admiral says war veterans will suffer for years

NEW YORK (AP) ? Homelessness, family strains and psychological problems among returning veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will persist in the U.S. for generations to come, the top U.S. military officer said Thursday.


"This is not a 10-year problem. It is a 50- or 60- or 70-year problem," Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a lunchtime audience at the Hudson Union Society, a group that promotes nonpartisan debate.


Mullen said he was particularly disturbed by the emergence of homelessness as a problem among war veterans.


"I have started to meet with, in veterans hospitals, homeless veterans" of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said. "And they are every bit as homeless and every bit as tragic as any homeless vet weve ever had. We as a country should not allow that to happen."
