Rice, a Uniter of the Divided - washingtonpost.com

Who would have thought that the competence of George W Bush's first campaign slogan would be so in line with the rest of his administration. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he run as a compassionate conservative who would unite the two parties? Looks like it only took the compassionate conservative six long years to accomplish the goal he set. The trouble is they seem to be uniting against him.

Within minutes of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's arrival on Capitol Hill yesterday, it became apparent that the Bush administration had, after four divisive years, finally succeeded in uniting Congress on the war in Iraq.

Unfortunately for Rice, the lawmakers were unified in opposition to President Bush's new policy.

And if anyone here or abroad can still listen to Condi spin the administrations actions and intentions and still walk away believing her about what is happening in the world...Well, I have a bridge leading to some oceanfront property in Sun City, AZ that I would love to unload at a great price.

Call it "globalization," or the "free market," or "capitalism." Whatever its name, people across the United States and throughout the world are experiencing the devastating effects of an economy that places profit above all else.

I haven't had the chance yet to read the issue, but, I will over the next few days. If you are interested in local economies, sustainable living or local energy go read the mag. If you like it try a trial issue...What have you got to lose?
