On the 22nd of May, 1856, as the deteriorating American political system veered towards the edge of the cliff, Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina, shuffled into the Senate of this nation, his leg stiff from an old dueling injury, supported by a cane. And he looked for the familiar figure of the

Wincing the Night Away! Probably one of the most anticipated albums in the indie world. Long delayed, 3 years from the northwest darlings of indie pop. On a first listen it's more mellow than Chutes or Oh, and more produced and meticulously tweaked. Buy it when you can : here First impressions? (4-7 word reviews) Fantastic! :Split Needles (Classic Shins, delectable hook)

Draw a line under the top 0.1 percent of income earners (in the US) - the top one-thousandth. Above that line are about 145,000 taxpayers, each with at least $1.6 million in income and often much more.ANDPresident Bush said during the third election debate last October that most of the tax cuts went to low- and middle-income Americans. In fact, most - 53 percent - will go to people with incomes

Blasted MPAA showed its ugly head this last week. By shutting down several tv.torrent sites, with the thought that they'll make a dent in the issue by restricting access. I think they need to look at our historical policy of "restriction" and how it's failed numerous times. Prohibition is the obvious parallel, and it shows that if you restrict access, people will find alternative avenues for

You thought the fillbuster-buster was a cynical gambit? Today's Los Angeles Times carries a chilling account of evangelical leaders' plans to use their congressional allies to harrass judges off the bench by stripping them of their staffs, administrative budgets, and such, and then to "reconstitute" their courts once the heathen jurists have quit in frustration.The story is based on an audio tape
