Bush to Seek Cabinet-Level Domestic Security Office: "The president's speech, at least in part, appears intended to deflect some of the attention from the security hearings on Capitol Hill, where the administration has come under criticism from some members of Congress. The president will speak to the people barely an hour after the evening news programs carry reports about the Senate hearings into security breakdowns before the Sept. 11 attacks."
I think that speaks for itself. But let me add this: when I see the power grabbing going on by the Bush Administration, I have to ask myself how similar these trends are to the ones when McCarthy started his power-grab back in the 50s. Something feels very wrong about what is going on and I am not alone in worrying about it. 1:31:18 PM 
Educational Insensitivity: "The bias and sensitivity review process, as it has recently evolved, is an embarrassment to the educational publishing industry. It may satisfy the demands of the religious right (in censoring topics) and of the politically correct left (in censoring language). But it robs our children of their cultural heritage and their right to read - free of censorship."
The good news: The New York board of Regents is stopping the censoring. The bad news, they aren't the only ones that do it. 1:27:44 PM
Ignoring a Growing Peril: "The Bush administration has acknowledged that the U.S. will experience far-reaching and, in some cases, devastating environmental consequences as a result of global warming. But it does not plan to do much about it." 1:09:31 PM
