George W. Bush’s approval ratings are at record lows, the economy is in the tank, gasoline prices and mortgage foreclosures are skyrocketing and the Iraq war grinds on without end. The GOP has lost special House elections in three congressional districts they have held for decades in Illinois, Mississippi and Louisiana. And Democratic candidates are ahead in 35 “battleground” districts now held by Republicans. Should the left celebrate the 4th of July? http://transitional.pww.org/article/view/13320/ Fri, 03 Jul 2008 16:53:33 EDT Should Independence Day be a cause of celebration for Americans? What does this commemoration of the Declaration of Independence really mean in a nation whose history is tainted with criminal wars, greed, racism and slavery? <br> Oil dreams http://transitional.pww.org/article/view/13305/ Thu, 02 Jul 2008 03:56:37 EDT The price of oil spiking at the same time credit is falling is one of capitalism’s most musical cacophonies! <br> <br> Shades of Green: June 28, 2008 http://transitional.pww.org/article/view/13297/ Wed, 01 Jul 2008 14:04:39 EDT Candidates who value families will win in November http://transitional.pww.org/article/view/13285/ Tue, 30 Jun 2008 16:57:19 EDT The candidates who demonstrate to voters that they value families will win in the November elections. That’s quite a reversal from the 1980s, when the conservative agenda began to be packaged as “family values.” Contradictory China http://transitional.pww.org/article/view/13284/ Tue, 30 Jun 2008 16:51:20 EDT Almost everything you’ve heard about China is true — at least, that’s my impression from a short week-and-a-half visit to Beijing at the end of May.

About 50 Democrats joined the Republicans in approving the disappointing compromise authored by House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer.
