SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT
Mark Hertsgaard, Dragonfly Media
Twenty years later, the Dow/Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal continues to wreak havoc on the lives of thousands. And yet corporate officials have never answered for their actions.

SOMETHING'S FISHY IN OHIO
Jesse Jackson, Chicago Sun Times
In the Ukraine, citizens are in the streets protesting what they charge is a fixed election. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell expresses this nation's concern about apparent voting irregularities. The media give the dispute around-the-clock coverage. But in the United States, massive and systemic voter irregularities go unreported and unnoticed. Ohio is this election year's Florida. The vote in Ohio decided the presidential race, but it was marred by intolerable, and often partisan, irregularities and discrepancies. U.S. citizens have as much reason as those in Kiev to be concerned that the fix was in.

ONLY THE GRASSROOTS CAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Joe Trippi, Wall Street Journal
Mr. Kerry raised nearly half of his war chest over the Internet. He was so successful at this that he actually outspent the Bush campaign. But it was the outsider campaign of Howard Dean, reviled by most of the Democratic establishment, that pioneered the use of the Internet to raise millions in small contributions; Mr. Kerry was just the beneficiary as the party nominee. And it was the risk-taking Dean campaign that forced the risk-averse Kerry campaign to opt out of the public financing system. Had that decision not been forced on Mr. Kerry, he would have been badly outspent by George Bush; he would not have been competitive at all throughout the long summer of 2004.

HE GOT SHAME
J. Douglas Allen-Taylor, AlterNet
In the full court press to place blame for the Pacers-Pistons brawl, Ron Artest is sacrificed. But who,>really, is at fault?

THE VANISHING MOTHERS OF AFRICA
Stephen Lewis, AlterNet
The gender-inequality struggle is the toughest struggle of all; and nowhere is it more keenly felt than in the battle against AIDS.

[Duchess Note: Despite what you may have heard on CNN, Fox News or MSNBC ... the Protest Rally & Candlelight Vigil yesterday in Ottawa drew in huge amounts of peaceful Canadians. Protesting the visit of the US puppet dictator ... the totally dumb ass, arrogant, miserable excuse for a human being ... Bush2. I say "bravo" to our northern friends ... Peace & Solidarity!]
