John Ashcroft is a dangerous menace to American values. He doesn't believe in freedom, states' rights, or the rights of an individual to freely practice no religion. His Pentecostal agenda is at odds with the needs of the country and the Constitution, and I call for his immediate resignation for the good of the United States of America which all of us, including Ashcroft, love.

Senate Leader Opens Debate on Estate Tax Repeal Here's where the rubber meets the road. Actually this is where the Republicans want the rubber to meet Uncle Sam's posterior. It's not pleasant pondering a reaming of the body politic by an incredibly tiny minority, but this repeal is for less than half of one percent of the population. 3 people out of 1000. If the Senate had any integrity at all they would vote this travesty down this week and get on with the serious business of the country.

Honda Takes Up Case in U.S. for Green Energy This report wouldn't be news if the US challenged American automakers to make more fuel efficient cars. I like Honda cars. I have deep respect for the prowess of their engineers, and I don't begrudge them market share or profits. I'm just embarassed that Detroit looks so utterly lame in comparison. It's not due to talent or energy, but Big 3 management. Wake up guys!
