It's only natural that after our most recent 12-month carnival, 2007 would seem relatively blah. Every now and then, history lays an egg. What happened in 1957? 1910? 1887-1897?

There has been an effort to minimize the importance of a new congressional report about the probabilities of another catastrophic domestic terrorist attack.

As American and Indian intelligence continue to point to the Pakistani militant organization as responsible for last weeks attacks in Mumbai, I hope they've read a new report from the National Intelligence Council.

Immediately after the Mumbai attacks attacks, several Bollywood stars, including actor Aamir Khan, began to blog about the problem of associating Islam with terrorism.

Al-Qaeda's , No. 2 man distinguished Barack Obama from Malcom X, concluding that Obama is not representative of the militant black community, and thus not in solidarity with al-Qaeda's missions and goals.

DeLay was sanctioned three times for openly favoring lobbyists, misusing a federal agency and attempting to bribe a colleague for a vote. He claimed that Republicans were "bigger than Christ."

Stone's movie is kind to "W" in that it makes a case that George spent most of his life swimming in water too deep for his swimming skills. The tragedy is that voters never recognized that.

McCain's support and lobbying for the African terrorist group directly contradicts his attacks on Obama for having "worked closely" with Bill Ayers and for having "pledged to meet, without preconditions, the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea."

The GOP is in the midst of a meltdown that is so serious that they run the risk of branding themselves for a generation -- a new brand that is one that they won't be proud of.

In the video of a McCain event, a small, solemn group of patriots - average age about 75 - sings a chorus of "God Bless America," as if to inoculate themselves against the idea that a "colored boy" (insert your own euphemism) might possibly defile the White House with his presence.

Eeriness is fermenting in America -- a thick shadowy cloud. Like Manifest Destiny, it is expanding and creating settlements inside the psyche of the American mind.

This is a ploy to raise doubts in people's minds about Obama. They have nothing, but it's easy to say, "What else is Obama hiding?"

I carry my share of misery, but a fair number of reactionaries must have ceaseless raging fear in their heads. Isn't real life awful enough? Why the need for even worse alternate realities?

Whether your fear is personal or political - and people like Gloria Steinem would say the two are inextricably intertwined - you can use it to challenge yourself, to motivate, inspire and rise above.

It's always interesting to me how white guys can tell those of us who have to bear the brunt of racism when it is legitimate for us to call it out. Let's stop calling McCain a hero, what he was, and start calling him what he's become.

I keep recalling the poisonous climate revved up by right wing fundamentalists in Israel prior to Rabin's murder. Are my recollections uncalled-for exaggerations? I sure as hell hope so.

Whatever you believe about Bill Ayers and the Weathermen, the fact remains that he is not running for president. But John McCain doesn't really have any other arrows left in his quiver.
