'It's the end of the world as we know it', they told us last fall, 'and we have to bail out all the banks or it's going to be pandemonium in the streets'. Almost a year later, as the economy teeters on precipitously post-massive bailout, the autopsy of Bush's last swindle is beginning to see the light of day and renegade filmmaker William Lewis has put together "Life On The Edge Of A Bubble" to offer a visual tapestry of those shameful days.

A May 20th feature in Time Magazine took on the healthcare reform debate. One thing that Time fails to note in the context of the US debate -- all the countries mentioned have SINGLE-PAYER, non-profit, healthcare for their people. The same kind that Americans are told is off the table.

The fallout from the assassination of women’s healthcare provider Dr. George Tiller continues. But little has been said about investigating the killing as an act of terrorism, a federal crime.
