Take a last look at Grist's interview with Kucinich and fact sheet on his policies, and shed a tear for what might have been -- were the U.S. political landscape entirely different. source: The Plain Dealer see also, in Grist: Video of Kucinich at a Grist-spo ...

Errata A few last bits of musing from Grist's presidential forum on climate	David Roberts	19 Nov 2007	Gristmill
A few final notes from Grist's presidential climate forum, before (?) you get sick of me talking about it. Most memorable bits: Dennis Kucinich mentioning, at the very top of his speech, that he's a vegan. I heard the sound of thousands (or at least a dozen extremely vocal) Grist readers swooning. Kucinich offering every American a guaranteed minimum income, and coal miners in particular a not-mining wage equal to what they were making in the mines. Who me ...

Global warring Are we a nation permanently at war?	David Roberts	02 Aug 2007	Gristmill
In his interview with Grist, Dennis Kucinich urged us all to recognize the connection between global warming and global warring. In that spirit, I thought I'd pass along an astute observation from Glenn Greenwald, who on matters of media and war/terrorism is without peer. About this quote from Rep. Lincoln Davis (D-Tenn.), a conservative member of the DLC: Bill Clinton ordered our troops and worked with NATO in Bosnia. That's the kind of pro-war Democrat that we ou ...

In the House Oversight Committee's hearing on political interference with the scientific evidence of climate change, Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) proclaimed in disbelief and frustration that, 'Today we have a planet that's smoking!' He, like many before him, likened the campaign to cast doubt on global warming with the tobacco industry's campaign in the 1990s to distort information on the health impacts of smoking cigarettes. In early 2007, the Union of Concerned Scientis ...

Freedom to Chews		13 Feb 2001	Daily Grist
