Tuesday's Links
Activism
Since the Washington Post published its controversial propaganda "advertising supplement" two weeks ago, we've been staying away from linking to their news and editorials. Would you like to see us go back to linking their stories, or keeping the ban in place? Please use the comments to let us know! Additionally, we're still soliciting ideas for activism - please help us out! Otherwise, we'll have to resort to stuff like Help America Recount. Worthwhile? Sure. Gonna change the election? Probably not.
News
United We Stand. The Supreme Court refuses to hear an appeal against Massachusetts's allowance of same-sex marriage. Good in the short term, but does it open up the door for more problems with other states down the road?
And Divided We Fall. A new poll shows that the majority of Americans do not want Roe vs. Wade to be overturned. 59% of those polled say that they don't want a new Supreme Court member who will overturn the ruling.
Alberto Gonzales is facing some tough criticism from civil rights groups across the country. Seems Gonzales wrote a memo in January 2002 warning the Bush administration that they could be held accountable for "war crimes" if they did not agree with the conclusion of Justice Department attorneys that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Editorials
Howard Dean is wondering the same thing the rest of us are - with all the talk of cuts in budget, and asking for line-item veto, why, in the newest spending bill, is there $2 million dedicated to buying back the presidential yacht? His concise, common sense messages are exactly what the DNC could use...
With the way Social Security is set up, benefits could be paid through 2042. It's not in dire straits, and, honestly, Bush's targeting of it makes very little sense. Go here to see a graphical representation of the relative health of Social Security now, and what President Bush's plan would do to it.
Joseph S. Nye, Jr., explains why, for the first time since 1971, total foreign enrollment at the university level fell, and why you should be concerned.
