An Army scientist who was suspected in the 2001 anthrax attacks was found dead of suicide. Throughout the week, the Feds released a succession of circumstantial evidence to convince the public of his guilt-- although many remained skeptical. One of their strongest pieces of evidence was the fact that he was crazy and had made threats and acted strangely. If he was so obviously nuts, then why the fuck was he allowed to continue working at a high-security DOD facility?
New estimates released this week showed that least 56,000 people become infected with the AIDS virus every year in the United States -- 40 percent more than previous calculations, according to the CDC. The data also confirmed that there is a severe impact of the epidemic among gay and bisexual men, as well as black men and women in the United States-- which helps to explain why the Bush administration has done little to address the issue.
There is a growing trend across the U.S. of Spanish-language news broadcasts beating English-language competitors in overall viewership. This may not last long if right-wing bigots continue in their efforts to send our economy into the dumpster in order to satisfy their anti-immigrant agenda.
An Ohio inmate convicted of raping and murdering two young women says he's too fat to be executed. How about we starve the bastard until he weighs 98 pounds, then finish him off?
The White House denied this week that the Bush administration directed the CIA to fake a letter tying Sadam Hussein to Al-Queda. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind says the story was confirmed by several sources and all the interviews are on tape. Could this turn out to be the proverbial Bush-gate?
McCain responded favorably to Paris Hilton's spoof of his "Obama Celebrity" attack ad. Wake up, dude-- she called you a 'wrinkly old guy' and compared you to the Golden Girls and the Cryptkeeper!
