  • Tar Sands Action The Keystone XL Pipeline
    Chanting “Yes we can,” about 65 protesters held a third consecutive day of sit-in protests in front of the White House on Monday morning, calling for the Obama administration to block approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.
    “We the prisoners being held in the Central Cell Block of the D.C. Jail need company and encourage the continuation of the protests against the tar sands pipeline,” Speth said. “Help us stop this disastrous proposal! I’ve held numerous positions and public office in Washington but my current position feels like one of the most important.”Gus Speth

  • This Week in Politics 13 August 2011
    This Week is Politics is a roundup of the week that was.
    Forty-seven years ago, my grandfather Dwight D. Eisenhower bid farewell to a nation he had served for more than five decades. In his televised address, Ike famously coined the term "military-industrial complex," and he offered advice that is still relevant today. "As we peer into society's future," he said, we "must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."  Susan Eisenhower
    It is in this great tradition of crossover voters that I support Barack Obama's candidacy for president.

  • Tom Coburn and the Wild,Wild West
    "It's just a good thing I can't pack a gun on the Senate floor," Coburn said ;and also called his colleagues "a class of career elitists" and "cowards."
    A spokesman for the Oklahoma Republican said "Dr. Coburn was obviously joking and would be happy to personally apologize to any of his colleagues who were offended."
    "That said, his frustration with a Congress that has inflicted severe economic damage on the country is well-known and well-founded. Fortunately, actions speak louder than words. Few have done more to try to bridge the divide in Congress and come up with a solution than Dr. Coburn," spokesman John Hart told CBS News Thursday.
    Coburn's comment follows the January attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during a constituent event in Tucson.
    Coburn also said President Obama received "tremendous advantage" from government programs "as an African-American male."
    Mr. Obama's "intent is to create dependency because it worked so well for him,"
