Kucinich drops out of presidential race

Kucinich announced he is dropping out of the presidential campaign to concentrate on running for the US House of Representative seat he currently holds. This cartoon is about the corporate media and their decisions to keep certain people out of the televised debates - namely, the only two candidates that are against the war - Kucinich and Paul.

Hope the print is big enough to be able to read it. I an not sure who sent me this cartoon, but there are more like it on this website.

The little mouse at the bottom says "Thank goodness for a free press!" Well, I guess we can say thank goodness for the internet and blogs, where we can still say what we want.

I worked on the Kucinich campaign, and am sorry to see him drop out. I knew he never had a chance, but I had some hope that Americans would hear his message and turn away from such a destructive and self-destructive course that they are intent on following..... but such is not to be.

Train wreck ahead and it looks like it will come in this form:

Going bankrupt: The US's greatest threat

A "guns over butter" mentality entrenched in the US political system since the start of the Cold War is starting to cause havoc in the nation which has the largest defense budget in the world, as well as having the largest trade deficit. The US's short tenure as the world's "lone superpower" is over and most of the damage can never be repaired, although trimming the US$1.1 trillion expected to be invested in the Pentagon this year would be a start.
