11/25/04 :: By Stu Finkel A Liberal ThanksgivingCategories :: History
On Thanksgiving, we should remember the MORAL VALUES that we hold dear, the ones that are trampled on daily by the propaganda machine that insists that "morality" consists only of gay bashing, anti-feminism, and scapegoating Hollywood for all of our nation's woes.

06/08/04 :: By William Hare We Are Still Paying for the Reagan LegacyCategories :: History
Before anyone gets drugged under the ether of coverage concerning the greatness of the Reagan Legacy, take a step back and initiate a reality check.
