When, if ever, will the dkos stop flashing that ad for aerospace industries? I honestly have never minded ads on this site- bills have to paid, pies have to be thrown, and sometimes an ad might alert you to a worthy product.

Defense modernization is not optional. To defend Americaâ€<sup>TM</sup>s global interests in 2018 and beyond, our military must be able to project its power globally, around the clock, in any weather.

Ray LaHood. An arrogant, garrulous sociopath, an enthusiast for war, a hater of the bill of rights, an antiabortion loon who opposes choice even in cases of rape or incest. And now he is going to be a member of Obama's cabinet.

I have gazed upon the stars, the bible, the entrails of a chicken, and my own navel. I share a common ancestry, verifiable by DNA, with every presidential candidate past and present, as well as with Karl Rove and slime molds. I have a true penchant for successful predictions based upon the sound methodology of thinking the worst thing I can possibly think in any given situation.

And out of the goodness of my heart, fellow Kossacks, I will now share with you the identity of the veep candidates a few days in advance of the official announcements. Armed with this most crucial of all knowledge, you will surely make a fortune in the stock market, own as many mansions as McCain, seduce drugged-out supermodels, and be honored as a benefactor of humanity. So be sure to remember me in your will...

Now without further ado, the running mates of the candidates will be as follows:

I am one of those who is endlessly grateful for Noam Chomsky's activism, his clear and perceptive explanations, and the withering snark he directs at the "Masters".

I know Chomsky has a well-deserved reputation as a scientific genius in linguistics, but I always thought that his political principles were simple (in a good way). Chomsky has taught me to apply the following principles to politics: States are systems of power, not moral entities and must adhere to their obligations under international law. Everyone is responsible for the foreseeable effects of his or her actions. Power is fundamentally invalid unless justified by contigent need, with the burden of proof placed on those trying to justify power. There is far more moral value in criticizing our own states and institutions (for which we are responsible) than in criticizing others.

I truly believe that antiwar activists should focus our energies on military recruitment. The empire will modify its militarism only if is does not have sufficient bodies and minds to run all its ongoing and contemplated wars. I believe so all the more strongly in light of the failure of our Democratic Congress not only to stop the war, but to stop the escalation of the war.

Suppose the nightmare scenario actually occurs- come convention-time, Obama has a slight lead in delegates chosen by the Democratic electorate, but Clinton swings the nomination her way through the votes of superdelegates.

It happens. Superdelegates give Clinton the nomination, even though Obama has more non-super delegates. What should we do?

IMPORTANT UPDATES BELOW

A young girl named Nataline Sarkisyan was initially denied approval for a needed liver transplant by her health care provider, Cigna of California. The case was diaried by nyceve and California Nurses Shum, each of whom asked us to call Cigna and protest. Joyously, Cigna changed its mind and agreed to pay for the transplant.

On October 15, 2007, Chalmers Johnson gave an interview to an Australian radio station to talk about his new book: Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic. During the interview, Johnson endorsed Barack Obama for President, though without any particular confidence that Obama can alter our imperial road to disgrace and bankruptcy.

No transcript is available on the internet, but I, a good and loyal Kossack, have transcribed the relevant section (at 27:45 through 29:00 of the interview).
