- Saddam, an evil man with a long track record of torture, murder, and tyranny, has finally been captured. For Iraqis, this is a welcome development, serving as closure on a 35 reign of terror by Saddam and his minions. Living halfway around the world and having no personal connection to Iraq, the capture of Saddam stirs up feelings that are more intellectual. Obviously it's good he was caught, because it's going to move Iraq even closer to full liberation, free from Saddam. With the obvious aspects of the case out of the way, I'm drawn towards the grey areas of the situation, like what Saddam deserves in the way of justice. |

- What led to "man of the people" Nas having a recent brush with the law? What offense of authority and privilege was the populist rapper trying to fight against when the "man" collared him? Ummm, "Nas was charged yesterday with smashing a bottle against the head of a clubgoer who had the nerve to infiltrate the VIP area at the trendy Meatpacking District nightspot Cielo." Wait, what now? Nas goes down in a blaze of glory fighting for Paris Hilton's ilk? |

- Nader Raising Money for Possible Campaign "WASHINGTON (AP) - Ralph Nader has not yet decided whether to make another run for the White House, but he's authorized a new exploratory committee to raise money for a potential bid. The Nader 2004 Presidential Exploratory Committee was formed in late October as part of the consumer activist's effort to gauge support for a run, said Theresa Amato, a committee director. ``He is using it to test the waters,'' said Amato, who served as Nader's national campaign manager when he ran for president on the Green Party ticket in 2000. She said the organization is part of Nader's overall strategy of ``talking to people, calling people, seeing what level of support there is.'' Nader won about 3 percent of the vote as the Green Party's candidate in 2000, but many voters blamed him for taking votes from Democrat Al Gore, paving the way for President Bush's narrow victory. |

- "The history of the last three years has demonstrated that the Bush strategists will stoop to any level to get their way. They are the masters of the last minute smear campaign. When Republican Senator John McCain posed a threat to George W. Bush's nomination for President in early 2000, dark suggestions were planted in the press that Senator McCain, the highly decorated Vietnam war hero, might have committed treason in the Vietnamese prison (where he languished for five years), and that he had fathered a child with a black prostitute (Senator McCain's adopted daughter, Brigitte, is from Bangladesh.) As the race for Senator from Georgia was tightening, President Bush's political strategist, Karl Rove, ran TV commercials accusing the sitting Democratic Senator Max Cleland of being soft on national security. |
