This review of a Thomas Dolby show gives some interesting insight into what he’s about, why and how he’s touring again, how he performs, and where a couple song ideas came from. Neat stuff.

The Free Press — Independent News Media – Election Issues

Ohio election protection activists have won a landmark court battle to
preserve the ballots from 2004’s disputed presidential election, and
researchers studying those ballots continue to find new evidence that
the election was, indeed, stolen. Among other things, large numbers of
consecutive votes in different precincts for George W. Bush make it
appear ever more likely that the real winner in 2004 should have been
John Kerry. Meanwhile, indictments and prison terms are mounting among key players in that tainted contest.

Bush’s Faustian Deal With the Taliban –May 22, 2001

Enslave your girls and women, harbor anti-U.S. terrorists, destroy every vestige of civilization in your homeland, and the Bush administration will embrace you. All that matters is that you line up as an ally in the drug war, the only international cause that this nation still takes seriously.That’s the message sent with the recent gift of $43 million to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, the most virulent anti-American violators of human rights in the world today. The gift, announced last Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to other recent aid, makes the U.S. the main sponsor of the Taliban and rewards that “rogue regime” for declaring that opium growing is against the will of God. So, too, by the Taliban’s estimation, are most human activities, but it’s the ban on drugs that catches this administration’s attention.

So, in May 2001, the Bush Administration became the biggest monetary supporter of the Taliban. And this hasn’t been widely publicized by the “liberal media” why again?
