Simone Crowe, Truthout: 'Over a thousand uranium mines have already contaminated water across the Southwest, poisoning communities with radiation that leads to cancer, harming the biodiversity of rivers and dissipating toxic ore dust into the air. Despite the immeasurable damage the mess of these abandoned mines has inflicted, including the official designation of the Four Corners as a 'national sacrifice area,' the federal government and foreign mining companies want to continue uranium mining in the Grand Canyon.'

Kucinich: 'Frankly, we need to challenge the president'

The Raw Story

04/13/11

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is known for being outspoken, but in a Wednesday interview with website The Real News he went a bit further in his criticism of President Barack Obama, arguing that he is more aligned with Republicans than Democrats on matters of deficit and spending. 'Frankly, we need to challenge the president,' he said. ... Kucinich has previously called for a Democrat to step up and challenge Obama for the Democratic Partys 2012 nomination to the presidency, but said he would not be the person to do it...

I Remember America

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'It has not always been this way. Maybe we are all suckers for the down-the-memory-hole 24-hour news cycle nonsense that has afflicted this country for far too long already, because it is getting harder and harder to remember the simple fact that it has not always been this way. This, however, is how it is now. On Wednesday, the Democratic president of the United States will stand somberly before a bank of television cameras to announce the orderly annihilation of the social contract that has guarded and sustained the American people for generations.'

Did Koch Industries write the budget deal?

Did Koch Industries write the budget deal? Or is it just a coincidence that so many of the the things Republicans demanded - and got - just happen to line up with the financial interests of the billionaires who fund the Tea Party and much of the 'conservative movement?'

Pennsylvanias New Jobs Czar Fought Environmental Regulations for Years

Abrahm Lustgarten, ProPublica: 'For years C. Alan Walker, a coal industry mogul and wealthy donor to Pennsylvanias Republican Party, clashed with environmental officials who tried to regulate his companies. He described them as 'vindictive,' 'out of control' and 'the most dangerous thing' affecting the country's welfare. In 1981 Walker even argued that the state should let someone from industry influence how environmental regulations were enforced.'
