Monday's Links
Activism
One of the big issues for the 2004 election was what has come to be known as "moral values." Chief among these was the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry and be legally recognized as such. However, there's much more to it than that. Here's a listing of gay rights, and how they differ from state to state. There are also links on the right on how to get involved locally.
News
Impending war over high court nominees. We knew this was coming, but it's interesting to look at some of the history. It's also interesting to note that despite all of the fuss put up by Frist, of Bush's 259 appellate nominations, Democrats only blocked 10.
Fallujah Burns. During the week-long siege for Fallujah, 38 American troops, 6 Iraqi troops, and 1,000-2,000 insurgents have been killed. Now, "the enemy is broken," and we have "liberated the city of Fallujah." However, there are still "isolated pockets" of fighting.
Although Fox News was the first of the "big three" online news sources to break with the news that Colin Powell has resigned as Secretary of State, MSNBC has the first story on it. Including previously unreported Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Powell is the sixth Cabinet member to resign since Bush's re-election.
Editorials
Election result maps. A nice compilation of scaled election results maps. This is less political and more just for your edification. Thanks to Tami Kaufman for the link.
A Polarized Nation? The Washington Post claims that we are more united than you think, but many forces are still working to polarize us.
The Unfair Attacks on Teresa Heinz Kerry. It's quite pathetic that many people in this country are so threatened by strong, independant women.
George W. Bush Quote of the Day
We must continue the work of education reform, to bring high standards and accountability not just to our elementary and secondary schools, but to our high schools, as well.
-- Washington, D.C., Nov. 4, 2004
Last we checked, high schools ARE secondary schools.
