Kerry and the Environment: Not Easy Pretending to be Green

| Joshua Frank |

Despite John Kerry's cozy relationship with big green organizations like
the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters, the Senator
should not be mistaken as a friend of the environment.

For example, Kerry, who voted against the Kyoto Protocol, told Grist
Magazine in an interview last year: "[The Kyoto agreement] doesn't ask
enough of developing nations, the nations that are going to be producing
much greater emissions and which we need to get on the right course now
through technology transfer." Perhaps someone should clue Senator Kerry
into the awful truth-that although the US accounts for only 4% of the
world's population, we still emit over a quarter of the globe's CO2.
Shouldn't we, then, be setting an example?

Memo To Liberals: Attack the Corporate Parties, Not Fellow Progressives

| Carl Mayer |

Over the last several months a cottage industry has developed of
progressives who, in concert with the corporate Democratic Party, spend
an inordinate amount of time attacking the Nader for President campaign.
They have become professional Stop Nader Liberals.

The ringleaders of this effort have been Norman Solomon, Jeff Cohen, and
to a lesser extent, Micah Sifry.

These gentlemen might better spend their time defending democracy and
the one candidate in the race who has fought his entire career for
democracy and for the progressive issues they profess to believe in:
ending the war, stopping trade deals and opposing the Patriot Act. Ralph
Nader is on the right side of all these issues; Kerry and Bush are not.

It's a hot, sweaty, steamy day.
It's gonna be a real long day today.
I stand rigid as a pole at my station, my place if you will
Stripping these leaves, as fast as I can go---No, faster than I can go,
or should go

Bush and God

| Terry Jones |

"George?"

"Yes?"

"This is God here ..."

"Hi, God. What can I do for you?"

"I want you to stop this Iraq thing, George."

"But you told me to do it, God!"

"No I didn't, George ..."

"But you did! You spoke to me through Karl, Rumsey and Dick and all
those other really clever guys!"
