It offered testimony from former loyalists George Will, Robert Novak, The Wall Street Journal editorial page, the Family Research Council's Web site and the Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly claiming "Bush is alienating his political base" by becoming "just another free-spending, big-government politician." Bush-bashing from the right has almost become a trend. By month's end, Bruce Bartlett will be the trend's poster boy. On February 28, Bartlett's book Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy will arrive in bookstores, adding its author to the growing list of conservatives who are lashing out at the president for his being what Bartlett calls "a pretend conservative [who] has more in common with liberals, who see no limits to state power as long as it is used to advance what they think is right." The book's publication will officially brand him as the kind of conservative Al Franken and Jon Stewart could love: a true believer who has lost the faith, a conservative out to melt the party's Big Cheese.
AHH YEAR IN REVIEW 2007: American Gangster All-Star Review
It is still a good possibility that people can do different things and still be accepted commercially as well. I think that was a highlight for me. It's hard to tell if this is a classic, classics are defined by time. I don't know if it has that quality to it. I think for me it was more a refreshing kind of change of what was going with all the ringtone rapping. - JR Writer: No comment. - Mr. Collipark: Can I be honest with you? I didn't buy it. I tried to buy it once on I-Tunes (laughs). Quite honestly I don't go to the store that much. From what I heard so far though, I like it better compared to what I heard on the last album (Kingdome Come). That's why I probably didn't make a point to just go get that record feel me? I feel like music is going through something right now and for me I'm playing my old music.
Stocks Slip Ahead Of U.S. Data, Sterling Up
Caution ahead of key U.S. retail sales data on Wednesday prompted investors to pare some gains in stocks while tough talk on inflation by the Bank of England helped boost sterling. Though rising off early lows, stocks were still in the red with investors taking risky bets off the table in case the U.S. report, due at 1330 GMT, showed more weakness in the world's biggest economy than already anticipated. A weakening consumer sector, which accounts for more than two thirds of the U.S. economy, has fuelled concerns that a recession is increasingly likely. Also worrying was fresh data showing much weaker than expected euro zone industrial output in December -- another sign of a global slowdown. "Euro zone growth is in trouble and the ECB had better get its skates on for easing soon," said David Brown, chief European economist at Bear Sterns International.
Mammograms Might Spot Stroke Risk
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20 (HealthDay News) -- In addition to detecting breast cancer in its early stages, new research suggests that mammograms may also help predict which women are at risk for strokes. Calcifications found in the blood vessels of the breasts -- what doctors call benign arterial calcifications -- were more commonly found on the mammograms of women who had suffered a stroke, said Dr. Paul S. Dale, chief of surgical oncology at the University of Missouri's Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. He is the lead author of the research, which was expected to be presented Wednesday at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference in New Orleans. Previous studies, including some by the University of Missouri team, have found a link between these calcifications, which are not cancerous, and the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Bush Failed Policy Domestic
Add to this grim picture growing unemployment and the financial crisis due to the subprime mortgage mess, and you can understand the situation we are in. Tuesday, January 1: Ralph Lopez: *Why We Should Not Mess With Iran The people of Iran are not our enemy. They don't hate us. Saturday, December 29: Ron Corvus: The Path To Democracy - NOT! (8 comments) The path to democracy is pure BS. I challenge anyone, anywhere, anytime to show me any lawful or constitutional authority which authorizes our government using military force - covert or overt - to "create a path to democracy" and to "nationbuild." There simply is no such thing.
