MTV just started accepting political ads. And the first political ad that millions of young people will see is a negative attack on Barack Obama—saying he’s “worse than a flip-flopper” and accusing him of no longer being against the war. It’s outrageous.
The Republicans’ strategy is clear: kill the hope that’s brought millions of new young [...]
I don’t read The New Yorker as much as I want to, it’s an excellent magazine though. So, it was shocking to me when I learned earlier in the day that they had a frontpage which depicted, in a cartoon satire, Barack Obama and his wife, within the White House, adorning “muslim atire”, with [...]
Oh, and another breaking news that I thought I would write about, for posterity sake I guess. The former White House Spokesman for The Bush Administration, Tony Snow, has just passed away. He announced last year that he was leaving his position after his doctors realized that his cancer (he had colon) had [...]
I can’t say enough how each and every donation means so much for the families who were hit by Typhoon Frank. Even though I have devoted so much of my time towards aiming most of my articles towards Sulpicio Lines and the sinking of The MV Princess of The Stars, I know too, the [...]
These days, aside from the MERALCO debacle, in which The Lopez family is still embroiled in, because the government just won’t relent, I find myself still enraptured and drawn to the sad and utter failure of Myanmar’s military Junta in providing aid for its people. In fact, they didn’t even need to provide aid, [...]
Over at Filipino Voices, my recent article is about the new photos that have surfaced which portrays President Gloria Arroyo golfing with her “buddies” at ZTE, apparently the same trip to China in which the NBN deal was finalized. The President didn’t reveal this to the people, but then again, as more things seem [...]
First, it was to let us think that Global Warming did not exist, to refute it altogether. It was the policy of denial and attack. Then George Bush, backed away from Kiyoto, and told us he would find a better way. And now, his plan is to do nothing. If ever [...]
Hu Jia, 34, a prominent activist on human rights in China has been convicted of inciting subversion of state power and socialist system and jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Are we seeing a purge in China? A silencing of voices, in response to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games? If you ask The Chinese Governments, they [...]
This is the delight for which The Bush Administration must face when they make themselves the mouthpiece of a propaganda that started on 9/11. 4,000 American soldiers dead. Thousands, of dead Iraqis, and no end in sight. An enemy they lost focus on, and new enemies they create everyday. The Bush [...]
The situation in Tibet is very serious, and because of some conflicting reports and some unverified news coming from the region, including announcements from Beijing itself, there are theories surfacing as to how and why it even got to this point. Although, the why could easily be traced to the deep rooted resentment of [...]
I’m very concerned with the development in China, especially Lhasa. There have been protests against the Chinese government and their rule in Tibet, the escalation is also connected to The Olympics to be held this summer in Beijing. Youtube has actually been banned in China, and now, it seems there is a news [...]
If there’s anything that gets my blood boiling, it is the killing and murder of innocent individuals, and the the sidetracking of human and civil rights. For the people of Burma, there is no more such thing as Human Rights, there is just a human will — to live.
Background: Since August 19, 2007 [...]
Hillary Clinton has proven to those who were willing to count her out, that she definitely is the comeback kid. Barack Obama had won 12 in a row, including the early Vermont Win yesterday. But Super Tuesday Round two turned out to belong to Hillary Clinton as she won big in Rhode Island, [...]
It’s another primary battle once again, the road to The White House for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will again focus on another Super Tuesday. It’s March 4, 2008 and one candidate has momentum and the other simply does not. If Barack Obama and the wave that he is riding is to [...]
If there are people out there who are weary of calling the troop surge in Iraq a success, then they are not alone. Although Republican politicians, mainstream media, George W. Bush and especially John McCain have touted the surge a success, they are only telling of the paint job that has been done to [...]
Fidel Castro, the dictator of Cuba, has finally announced that he will indeed resign as President of Cuba. It was inevitable, since he is yet to be seen in public and his ailment has forced him to put his brother as his replacement. This is the end of nearly 50 years of a [...]
