Cable News: I Long For The Days Of "We Now Resume Normal Broadcasting"
It used to be if there was a major news story, the networks would break into regular programs with breaking news. They did straight reporting of the facts and did not look to dissect the story similar to a science student dissecting a frog in class. When they had nothing else to offer us, they would say, "We now resume normal broadcasting" and only break in if new events occurred.

The Fox (Gonzales) Promises To Investigate HEN Disappearances
If Gonzales has not resigned by the time you read this, please contact your members of Congress and push them to speak out, to tell Gonzales it's time to go.

Along The Gulf Coast, Post-Katrina, Part 1: Pascagoula

Here are the first of a series of photo albums that highlight the lingering devastation.

Give The Medal Back George
George Tenet does the equivalent of kill his parents and plead for leniency because he is an orphan. His upcoming book apparently tries to make the case that he was bullied when in fact he was one of the bullies.

Pakistan Army Suffered 700 Killed Vs. Taliban
Vice President Dick Cheney keeps urging Islamabad to go after the Taliban who rule the border provinces along Afghanistan but Pakistan's military dictator knows if he does, he'll lose. The only way to bring lasting peace to the region is to have democratic elections, and the dictator is afraid to hold them. In short, Pakistan is on the brink. All this from The Nation magazine.

GINSBURG'S DISSENTING VIEW WILL PREVAIL ON ABORTION RULING
The Republican far right's celebration over the Supreme Courts recent decision regarding partial birth abortion will be short lived ~ for Justice Ginsburg's fervid dissent framed the abortion question in the far broader constitutional context of women's equality rather than privacy. This is an argument that will isolate the far right and should draw a fifth Justice once the compelling legal arguments are framed and made.

Got A Minute (literally) To Sign Petition For Women Facing Mastectomies?
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating the "drive-through mastectomy" where women are forced to go home just a few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
