We need help! Most of
these references are from 2006
(and the links have not been checked
lately), so we want suggestions for more current article references of
interest to Gunnison Democrats. But be careful about copyright
restrictions; posting of web references is fine but your webmaster will
not post clips from copyrighted material, unless allowed in some way.
This keeps us all out of trouble.
The references in this section will
frequently present a problem. Copies of news articles cannot in
general be posted because of copyright restrictions. Links to
articles may expire after one or two weeks depending on the archiving policies of
the publication. Some sites require no-cost registration, a
nuisance but generally not too burdensome. Please bear with us.
07/08: "Feeling No Pain", July 12 commentary by Bob Herbert for the NY TImes on the "Stop Whining" remark by the out-of touch Phil Gramm. This may be available to non-subscribers for a while.
06/08: Here is a recent U.S. government report on the effect of opening previously off-limits sources of oil and gas; the effect on prices and supply appears small and far in the future. Look and judge for yourself. The recent push by McCain and Bush is once again ignoring the facts. See http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/otheranalysis/ongr.html
A recent op-ed by Thomas Friedman in the NY Times 6/22/08 is much more scathing! (It may not continue to be available on-line.)
02/06: Here is one of the best brief discussions I have seen of the global warming issue, from the back page of the American Physical Society publication APS NEWS (Feb. 2006 issue). Recommended for understanding the issue!
Here is some information recently provided by a very distressed retired couple formerly with the National Park Service: Apparently a political loyalty test has been imposed on upper level managers in the National Park Service. This was reported by Joel Connelly in a column in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in an article by PEER, a public employee activist group, and no doubt other sources. From the latter article, the .pdf files of the "loyalty" directive and of the "President's Management Agenda" have been copied to this website for your quicker reference. Please read... this is serious!
A related topic is the forcing of creationist literature into the Grand Canyon bookstore by Deputy Assistant Secretary Paul Hoffman, which you may already have heard about. A partial reference is here, but you'll have to pay the NY Times for the complete archived article. It's interesting that Mr. Hoffman (whose main job qualifications seem to have been as former manager of the Cody WY Chamber of Commerce) managed to make #12 in the New Republic recent article (Oct. 17 issue) "welcome to the Hackocracy". Try your local library? This article is very interesting reading in general, I wish I could post it. Just now added: Here is a recent Washington Post article on the still continued sales of this book.
Here is the text of the Libby indictment.
