Apr. 23rd, 2004 10:11 amKerry's Missing Message . . .
In the past month or so, everything has gone wrong for George W. Bush. He has been criticized at hearings of the Sept. 11 commission for being lackadaisical about terrorism. Richard Clarke accused him of being weirdly obsessed with Iraq. More than 100 Americans have been killed there in the past 30 days, and Bush was so inarticulate in his recent news conference that you could say he violated the standards of his own "No Child Left Behind" policy. Still, if this keeps up, he'll win reelection in a landslide.

Cities near the June gathering of leaders from eight of the world's most powerful nations have new local ordinances requiring "security deposits" for public events.
"The most onerous thing about it is it's asking citizens to pay in order to exercise the constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom to assembly," said Brunswick peace campaigner Robert Randall, who plans to host a "Fair World Fair."
"In effect, unless you have money, you no longer have this First Amendment right," Randall said in a telephone interview.
[...] The American Civil Liberties Union, fighting what it calls a full-scale assault on freedom since Sept. 11, 2001, has threatened to sue Brunswick and Savannah if they do not come up with compromise ordinances by Friday.

Apr. 23rd, 2004 11:00 pmI'm so glad to be back in SE Michigan. I'd forgotten how informative Canadian news can be.
The National is a great show. Tonight it had an extensive segment on meditation and its effects on the brain. A neurosurgeon was a significant portion of the story, as were Tibetan monks. I managed to record this. I think it will be very helpful to review.
Also on the National was a story about the coffin photo controversy. Their assessment of the situation seemed on-point to me. They interviewed people at the Vietnam memorial who said that they felt the photos were respectful and were a symbol of sacrifice. They--the National--correctly recognized that the symbol was a powerful one that Washington did not want shown to the American public.
