Lebanon Intrusion

In an apparent effort to lend support for the Bush administration’s bellicose policies toward Iran and Syria, the resolution – like a number of previous ones dealing with Lebanon – grossly exaggerated the influence of those two countries on Hezbollah.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, and 25 years after a second U.S. military intervention which left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Lebanese dead, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a resolution by a huge bipartisan majority which may lay the groundwork for a third one.

Bigtime Bigotry Haunts Our `08 Presidential Election

The Elections of '08 call for us to stand taller, and not allow our views to descend to the level of gutter politics.

(SALEM, Ore.) - It may as well be Halloween (Oct. 31st) in place of the US Election Day this presidential year (Nov. 4th).

Oregon Internet News Organization Revises Format; Announces Changes

Call it a victory for corporate media and corporate America. We admit that we have suffered a defeat, but it seems like rather than taking us to task for our reports, somebody came by in the middle of the night and dropped sugar in our gas tank.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Sometimes it is hard to know when your best efforts are falling short. It is not always easy to pin down what the causes are, but it is obvious that when a public entity like a news Website chooses to confront large problems in the world through journalism, that there will be a blowback factor.

Grannies on Trial for Protesting WWII Tank in Rose Festival

"A parade is a form of entertainment and it is wrong to include a tank in the streets of Portland, especially while our country is engaged in a war in which thousands of soldiers and civilians have died."- Bonnie Tinker
