Hello,

In the article "Babbling from Fitrakis," Scott Malone sounds like he's spent the last three years on the moon rather than here on earth. This is not about some sophomoric facts and figures as to the "President's" IQ; this is about the soul of a nation! Should the Democrats not be able to get themselves together, it's very true that Bush may very well win and win big. But if that happens, it would be precisely because of uninformed and surface-looking people like Malone rather than any inherent insightfulness in Bush's worldview. Mussolini and Hitler in fact exuded the same appeal to their people and employed the very same methods used by today's neocons. And, in both Germany and Italy we saw the voice of reason brutally silenced and the war machine put to use.

These "drug saturated anarchists" to whom Malone refers, include people like Chomsky, Fisk, Said, Krugman, Vidal and countless other scholars, each one of which will take pages to cite their contributions and achievements for humanity. They also include the overwhelming majority of the good people of the planet earth.

Sheesh. How many lies can Bob Fitrakis spew forth? Let's get this straight. President Bush is not a moron. That 91 IQ story is an internet hoax. Bush won the 2000 election fair and square. It  was Al Gore's henchmen who tried to steal the election. Both wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were justified and legal. President Bush is not a war criminal, he does not deserve to be impeached, and he will not  be impeached. Ramsey Clark & Co. can choke on that fact. President Bush will be re-elected in the biggest landslide in history. And all the drug-saturated anarchist thugs in this country can either continue to stare at the track marks on their arms, or they can become productive members of society. BUSH IN 2004.

Thanks for that in depth information on preemptive war and our defiant leaders who are violating every treaty we have.

We can argue about George Will’s political views. But there’s no need to debate his professional ethics.

     Late December brought to light a pair of self-inflicted wounds to the famous columnist’s ethical pretensions. He broke an elementary rule of journalism -- and then, when the New York Times called him on it, proclaimed the transgression to be no one’s business but his own.

     It turns out that George Will was among a number of prominent individuals to receive $25,000 per day of conversation on a board of advisers for Hollinger International, a newspaper firm controlled by magnate Conrad Black. Although Will has often scorned the convenient forgetfulness of others, the Times reported that “Mr. Will could not recall how many meetings he attended.” But an aide confirmed the annual $25,000 fee.

     Even for a wealthy commentator, that’s a hefty paycheck for one day of talk. But it didn’t stop Will from lavishing praise on Black in print -- without a word about their financial tie.

Count our blessings, an act the eternally pessimistic American left usually shuns on the grounds that it might indicate we've made some headway in progress toward the good, the true and the beautiful.

            First, let's look back. This year was a pretty good year. Who can complain about a span of time in which both William Bennett and Rush Limbaugh, outed respectively as a compulsive gambler and a drug addict, were installed themselves in the public stocks amid the derision of the citizenry? Some say that they've both winched themselves out of the mud, with Bennett's sessions in Las Vegas and Limbaugh's steady diet of OxyContin already faded in the public mind. I don't think so. There's nothing so enjoyable as the plight of a professional moralizer caught in the wrong part of town.

As the new year unfolds, one unmistakable fact remains unreported in America’s submissive mainstream media: our President George W. Bush is a war criminal. Any attempt to state this obvious fact is ignored and any Democratic Presidential hopeful who suggests we repudiate the new Bush doctrine of American imperialism and instead, work for world peace, is dismissed as a “vanity” candidate and told to drop out of the race.

It is with extreme disappointment that we write to you regarding the Bush administration's decision to exempt the Tongass National Forest from the Roadless Rule. The Tongass is just the first. Having gained access to the Tongass for commercial interests, Bush and his friends in the timber in! dustry will continue to pursue our public lands with no consid eration for native populations and endangered species.

Let's face it, the Bush Blow Out Sale has begun.

Enacted in 2001, the Roadless Rule protects 58.5 million acres of the last wilderness areas in the United States from industrial logging interests. Over 2.5 million Americans have voiced their support to protect these areas in our national forests.

However, it seems the Bush administration doesn't agree.
