Thank you, Howard Zinn, for being a great man who didn't believe in the "Great Man Theory of History." Thank you, Howard Zinn, for opposing war, all wars, including our own "good wars," our own "holy wars," as you called them—and for pointing out that a "just cause" does not lead to a "just war."

"We don't have a right to be disappointed by Obama"

Barack Obama decided to please Wall Street instead of deliver on his promise of change.

There was something almost criminally pathetic about Alan Greenspan's confession that he had "made a mistake" in believing that banks could adequately police themselves.

Socialism for the greediest, not the neediest.

We've had eight years of a Republican President who didn't believe in regulation, and we had eight years before that of a Democratic President who governed for Wall Street. We're seeing the results before our very eyes.

It's July 4th again, a day of near-compulsory flag-waving and nation-worshipping. Count me out. Spare me the puerile parades. Don't play that martial music, white boy. And don't befoul nature's sky with your F-16s. You see, I don't believe in patriotism.

I don't know why there's such a hullabaloo about Ralph Nader's announcement that he's running for President again.
