  well, since you've asked nicely, i'll resubscribe

  if they change the photo on the home page to show just Kucinich and Edwards. How's that for unbiased reporting?

  Oh, all right, they can stick Clinton in there, too. That's my final offer.

  (By the way, I'll bet that's Kucinich's shoulder you can just see on the right of the frame. If so, it's a blatant crop-out.)On Reflections on Grist's presidential forum on climate change posted 2 years ago 62 Responses

  Good going with the crystal ball

  "The reality is that Kucinich isn't going to be president. Pretending he is counts, yes, as moral onanism."

  Congratulations. You've got the corporate media's line in wishfully self-fulfilling prophecies down to a T.

  The corporate media (and Grist) label Kucinich, who's in 4th place in nation polls (first in this one: http://democracyforamerica.com/pulsepoll/results), as an "unelectable" candidate because the corporate media (and, apparently, Grist) obviously have the heebie jeebies over the idea that someone who actually stands up to power should ever get into the White House.

  Better an independent and honest candidate with some wacky ideas than any number of corporate-funded candidates with minor variations on the same extremely sinister ideas.

  Excuse me while I go and masturbate over the dream of having a President with real moral stature. Not that that could ever happen, or at least not if you believe what self-important journalists have to say.

  Oh, and this is where I unsubscribe from Grist.On Reflections on Grist's presidential forum on climate change posted 2 years ago 62 Responses

  cheat neutral

  Anyone who thinks carbon offsetting is quite a good idea should visit www.cheatneutral.com where they hilariously tear the idea to shreds.

  too little, too late

  sorry, Mr Murdoch and the rest of the so called "green capitalists".

  The time to do something about climate change was when scientists - who actually know something about it - started saying it was a potentially devastating threat.

  That was over 20 years ago. What were you doing then? Making as much money as possible while strenuously denying the need to act.

  Now we know it's a real, and absolutely devastating, threat, and you and the other capitalists have absolutely forfeited any right to be considered "leaders" against climate change. That must go to the people who were actually doing something about it 20 years ago, when it mattered.On An interview with Rupert Murdoch about News Corp.'s new climate strategy posted 2 years, 6 months ago 14 Responses
