This Truck Driving Texan Appears To Be A Strong Barack Obama Backer
Above is the truck that belongs to a person who appears to be quite an avid backer of President Obama. I took this picture in Houston two weeks ago. While Texas votes Republican at the statewide level, I am sensitive to the perception that people have in other parts of the country that everybody in Texas is driving around in big trucks with Confederate flag stickers. Here is somebody driving abou
“Houston” Sculpture In Houston City Park Still Covered With Graffiti

Below is a new picture— The old graffiti is still there and there also seems to be some new graffiti. So I guess we’ll just let that thing sit there and have people come and spray paint it.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Admitting That You Just Don’t Know

‘Sovereign’ Tax Cheat Bilked Millions from Treasury; Gets 12 Years

Hating the young.
The key moment in modern British politics is not, as some might imagine, the bail-out of the banks and the subsequent recession as the collapse of Lehman Brothers reverberated around the globe. It in fact came a year earlier. Gordon Brown was still enjoying his political honeymoon, having finally taken over from Tony Blair as prime minister. Realising that it would help enormously if he had his
Do US flag officers believe Iraq had WMDs?
by Doctor Science Daniel Drezner reported at Foreign Policy on a recent poll conducted by Dartmouth political scientist Benjamin Valentino that found, among other points, that 63% of Republicans believe that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction at the time of the US invasion in 2003. This is approximately the same percentage who believe that President Obama was born in a foreign country. What th
The Weapons Supply – Who is Deciding Who Gets What?
Several high-ranking Syrian military officers have reportedly defected to Turkey. China is urging calm after Syria’s downing downs Turkish jet, and China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, says he hopes parties will “adhere to diplomacy” as Turkey takes the issue to NATO, insisting that the jet was in international airspace, while Syria claims that the aircraft entered its airspace. During the first d

Uses of a Forgotten Cluster
Astronomical surprises can emerge close to home, close in terms of light years and close in terms of time. Take NGC 6774, an open cluster of stars also known as Ruprecht 147 in the direction of Sagittarius. In astronomical terms, it’s close enough — at 800 to 1000 light years — to be a target for binoculars in the skies of late summer. In chronological terms, the cluster has had a kind of re-birth
The Misruling Class
Editor’s Note: In a February 2006 In These Times cover story titled “In the Search of Solidarity,” Christopher Hayes, then a senior editor for the magazine, wrote: Right now, our politics are atomized and transactional: we send checks, we sign petitions, we forward articles. We buy sweat-free clothes, recycle and look for vocations that don’t collude too egregiously with evil. But we’ve uncons
Haggling over Peripherals
Negotiations between the United States and Pakistan over the cost of hauling freight from Karachi port to Afghanistan and the wording of a statement of regret or apology over Pakistani deaths at a border clash last November have become demeaning to everyone involved. Patching up these contentious issues will have lasting benefit only if a much larger impasse can somehow be bridged. The central imp

RIO+20: Promised Green Economy Was a Fake, Say Activists

The three-hectare garden is managed by women from this village and surrounding sett
