The Three Strategic Fallacies of the Bush Administration's foreign policy; from the New America Foundation. If you're an Atlantic Monthly reader, the name of that organization will be familiar as a partner in the magazine's Real State of the Union issue. I would add that trashing the UN Security Council and its members when you may need them to help deal with North Korea (remember, that one's multilateral, per President Bush at his news conference) is probably a pretty stupid thing to do.
Corporate greed, part 37: It seems to me that GE would be hard-pressed to argue with the point that their biggest union makes in this press release. How do you justify giving huge raises to the executives while shifting health care costs to the retirees and employees?
I've griped about this before; now the scientific community is weighing in. The CSPI (Center for Science and the Public Interest), the NAS (National Acadamies of Science), and the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) have protested what they see as ideological stacking of scientific panels. "(HHS Secretary) Thompson has yet to respond to a similar letter the group sent in December." Arrogance is not limited to the foreign policy part of the Administration, it seems.
