9646 [lbo-talk] trading Hagel for Kerrey: good for warmongers -- rank: 1000

<http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/644839.html> At the start of the 1970s, incarceration appeared to be a practice in decline. Criticized for its overuse and detrimental effects, practitioners and reformers looked to community-based alternatives as a more promising strategy for managing criminal offenders. A 1967 report published by the President s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice concluded: Life in many institutions is at best barren and futile, ...

New York Sun - September 11, 2007 <http://www.nysun.com/article/62343> Kerrey Edges Toward a Senate Comeback BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun The president of the New School, J.

9651 [lbo-talk] forget the mess in Iraq - let's bash MoveOn! -- rank: 1000
[from The Note] We all knew yesterday would mark a turning point in the politics of the Iraq war -- and this is no time to envy the Republicans. But all it took was a newspaper ad (and one particularly poor pun) to make Democrats squirm, at the very time the party needs unity the most. Republicans' rallying point actually had little to do with the long- awaited report to Congress by Gen. David Petraeus. Moveon.org's ad in yesterday's New York Times was meant to help Democrats make a case ag ...

You've failed to provide any serious evidence of this, but you keep saying it over and over. Besides, what's wrong with oppositional criticism of a capitalist state, even if it is anti-imperialist? Venezuela is trying to change capitalist property arrangements and class relations; Iran has never done that, and never will, give ...

[from Tom Heald's Pridelets] PageOneQ Pridelets for September 11 On this day in 1992, Geraldo's sleazy syndicated talk show warns of the dangers of "Bedding Down with Bisexuals."
