Let the truth prevail. What is wrong with the Swift Boat ads that trash Kerry's Vietnam record? Is it because they are 527 ads? No. Is it because this is negative campaigning? No. Is it because we should not criticize war veterans? No. Is it because only the Bush Campaign organization and the Republican Party should be allowed to run TV ads about the candidates? No.
What is wrong with the ads is they are full of lies and distortions. Lies that have been proven to be wrong. That is what is wrong. While polls show Americans generally don't believe the ads, the polls also show the ads have been effective in lowering Americans' opinion of Kerry. And Karl Rove and the Republican campaign machinery know this. And more lies will follow. Because even lies can damage Kerry.

The military sure likes to cover up information
Make it disappear. Never happened. The 205th Military Brigade - the outfit running the Abu Ghraib prison - has deleted the links to pages with photos of their officers and staff goofing off in Iraq. G
Bill Mize is turning over in his grave
This morning the Rome Grange canceled the Motor Boats Off issue from their agenda at this evening’s Bill Mize Forum. Why? Threats and demands from the motor-boating community. Rational used to cancel:
Let truth prevail
The military records of Kerry and Bush are relevant. Both sides have spent millions because they think the American voters care. We are in a war and personal military experience is relevant.

Rove is behind the Kerry attack ads
The Bush campaign machine’s smear of Kerry’s service record is beginning to backfire. Soon, when attention is turned to Bush’s record, watch the Republicans scream foul. None screamed as lies were tol
Once, only Democrats or wimpy liberals would do it
Bush ads are trashing a Vietnam veteran’s record. The trashing of Vietnam veterans is supposedly the realm of war-hating hippies and liberals. Republicans have expressed their disdain about this for o
Saying Bush is for democracy is like . . .
So - will the Bush government now seek a violent way to overthrow Chavez as president of Venezuela now that he has easily survived the recall referendum? Our CIA and other secret U.S. agencies have be
The best comment yet on the movie
Fahrenheit 911, in my opinion. Dan Carpenter of the Indianapolis Star puts the movie into perspective.
Anyone want to step forward?
The Mercury Study by the U.S. Geological Survey has been released. It is available as a PDF file.
Bush is a one-trick pony
He has his leering look as he leans over a podium and says the US is safer with Saddam removed from power. That’s it. And variations on that. He has it down pat. He stumbles when he speaks of anything
Postpone the election?
Well, no surprise. And not even close to the extreme measures the weird people behind Bush will go to in order to avoid being thrown out of office. They went ballistic when Clinton was elected. They u
Have you seen the movie yet?
Seems most of my conservative friends are avoiding it. But they tell me what they think of Michael Moore and they are not nice comments. They should see the movie first.
Fahrenheit 9/11
Saw Fahrenheit 9/11
Very good documentary. The Democrats do not get off clean. The Democrats are well documented in the movie going along with Bush’s absurd war against Iraq. They are shown as mindless suits without a bi
Fahrenheit 9/11 is breaking records
This from the movie revenue watch website Box Office MoJo: “In terms of raw dollars, Fahrenheit is actually the biggest opening ever for a movie playing at less than 1,000 theaters, topping Roc
Americans had to really want to see this movie
No showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 in Bellingham this past week. Why not? Because Regal Cinema booked the rights to show it but waited to see if it was well attended. Regal controls all three movie
Leave no proof behind
From a friend who is an enlisted person in the military - in a combat unit. The officers - the lieutenants - of his unit lectured them this week about torture. The officers said the enlisted soldiers
We are remembering Reagan for the wrong reasons
and we will suffer for it. Reagan did not win the Cold War. Communism was systemically fatal - just as all the conservatives kept saying. Reagan did do the right things to end the Cold War - and he de
Mercury in Lake Whatcom
Today the Washington Department of Ecology released a report that says, basically, that mercury in the lake is less now than in the past. “Decreasing” is the operative word.

Re: Chamber of Commerce insert in today’s Bellingham Herald
The initiative is ‘remove motor boats’, not ‘remove boats’ from Lake Whatcom. Our Chamber of Commerce just lies in print to achieve their goal of defeating the initiative.
The Military Intelligence units are beginning to be exposed
ABC News has an exclusive interview with a sergeant in the 302 MI Battalion, a unit of Col Pappas 205 MI Brigade. See NwCit report below of May 4 - two weeks ago. The sergeant says there was and is a
