Progressive Democrat Issue 103: THOUGHTS

BIG week. I missed my second chance to be on BBC radio, but the main thing is my blogging is getting noticed! I also am being asked to be a Managing Editor for the international blog Culture Kitchen. I invite everyone to visit Culture Kitchen, read what we offer and maybe comment a bit. The site is evolving rapidly these days and now is a good time to start participating. Politics and feminism are a major part of what we focus on, but other aspects of "culture" are also covered. So join in!

Last weekend we reached 3000 US soldiers dead in the quagmire of Iraq. For what? What have we gained? In light of last weekend's media circus in Bagdhad surrounding the execution of a man who was once favored by the US, I just want to remind people of something.

As Fox News is piddling over itself ecstatically about Saddam Hussein's execution, I just want to ONCE AGAIN remind America that THIS MAN (shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld):



Had NOTHING to do with THIS EVENT (which I experienced first hand):



So all Americans need to ask THIS MAN:



when we will catch THIS MAN:




Write the media to express your opinion on Bush's failure to fight terrorism. Three thousand soldiers dead in Iraq and for what? Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda are alive and well and we look like fools.
