Robert Scheer on Obama's State of the Union Address
"Obama’s
Faux Populism Sounds Like Bill Clinton" — I get angry because betrayal by
the “good guys” for whom I have ended up voting has become the norm.
Mark Heisler on Joe Paterno's Death
"Lessons
of JoePa, in Case the Next Witch We Hunt Doesn’t Drop Dead" —
Unfortunately, most people will insist they were the ones insisting this was a
witch hunt all along, and believe it.
Carrie Rickey on Hollywood's Lack of Female Directors
"Where
Are the Women Directors?" — Here’s a thought exercise: In a nation where 33
percent of the Supreme Court justices are women, 17 percent of the seats in the
Senate and House are held by women and 12 percent of the statehouses have female
governors, what accounts for the fact that only 5 percent of movie directors in
2011 are female?
Barry Lando on China’s Tactics in Afghanistan
"Afghanistan:
Coffins for the U.S. and NATO, Contracts for China" — Some bitter ironies
in Afghanistan these days: U.S. and French soldiers gunned down by the very
Afghan troops they work with. America and its NATO allies, facing huge budget
problems themselves, persist in squandering billions in Afghanistan to defeat
Islamic radicals and create a propitious climate for growth and investment.
Right now, the largest investments so safeguarded are Chinese.
Lena Groeger on Making Sense of Romney's Taxes
"Inside
Romney’s Tax Returns" — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
released 550 pages of tax returns Tuesday and news organizations are making
their way through them. ProPublica shows us where to look to make sense of the
numbers.
Ellen Cantarow on an Environmental Occupy
"Fracking
Gets Its Own Occupy Movement" — While most anti-fracking activists have
been responding to harms already done, New York state’s resistance movement has
been waging a battle to keep harm at bay.
Joe Conason on the GOP's Response to Obama
"Mitch
Daniels: Bombast From the Past" — Why the Republicans chose Mitch Daniels
to deliver a rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address is
puzzling. Isn’t he the former Bush budget director who said the Iraq War would
cost $50 billion when it ended up costing $3 trillion?
Amy Goodman on Obama's Populist Pledges
"Obama’s
Late Payment to Mortgage-Fraud Victims" — In his State of the Union
address, many heard echoes of the Barack Obama of old, the presidential aspirant
of 2007 and 2008.
William Pfaff on the Debate Over Iran
"Is
a Nuclear Iran Really to Be Feared?" — The obsession of the American
foreign policy community, as well as most American (and a good many
international) politicians, by the myth of Iran’s “existential” threat to
Israel, brings the world steadily closer to another war in the Middle East.
Eugene Robinson on Gingrich’s National Unpopularity
"America
Does Not Share South Carolina’s Fondness for Gingrich" — Amid all the
excitement, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that America has known Newt
Gingrich for three decades—and really doesn’t like him.

It’s official: NCSE is now stepping into the climate change arena. We’re
expanding our mission and we’re expanding our web site.
What follows is our official release, links to our new mission
statement, a video introducing NCSE and our new initiative, links to an
exclusive excerpt from “Merchants of Doubt”, and more.
Stay tuned: more announcements coming this week!
Qs? Want to interview executive director Genie Scott or our new climate
change policy director? Let me know!
Dear Friends of NCSE,
NCSE files a friend-of-the-court brief in the Freshwater case. Two
antievolution bills in Missouri: one that would encourage teachers to
emphasize “the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses” of
evolution and one that would require equal time for “intelligent
design” in the state’s schools and universities. Protestant pastors in
the United States reject evolution, according to a survey conducted by
the research arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. Over a third of
K-12 educators who teach about climate change have been influenced to
teach “both sides,” according to a NESTA survey. And a reminder about
NCSE’s Grand Canyon expedition in 2012.
