Amid the public relations din, a patriotic voice Feingold:
acting like a patriot as senate tackles the Patriot Act By GEOFF DAVIDIAN There’s
a good reason for Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold’s courageous stand against
secrecy in the Senate’s consideration of renewal of portions of the PATRIOT
Act: the government has disregarded limits on federal police action in
the War on Terror and arrogantly refuses to discuss it in congressional hearings
or before the United States Supreme Court. More The
hidden cost of the War on Terror Supreme
Court asked to decide whether attorney general illegally changed IRS
regulations to allow federal police powers Congress meant to curb By GEOFF DAVIDIAN Reviews of books Confessions
of an Economic Hit Man 'And
we wonder why terrorists attack us?' asks author John Perkins By GEOFF DAVIDIAN Perkins portrays a world where a few are kept permanently happy
on the one simple condition that millions of souls lead lives of economic
misery and exploitation, through a system in which religious groups,
corporations and U.S. policy converge wherever poor nations have resources we
want. More Organize, then agitate _______________________ Journal Communications: Downtown and

North Shore Herald is a marketer's dream and resident's nightmare They
are not selling the paper to you -- they are selling you to the advertisers Thanks so much (Not) to Journal Communications, or whoever the
corporate parent entity they own is that repackaged Shorewood news into a
North Shore Herald. Not only has the horizontally and vertically monopolistic
organization forced Shorewood advertisers to now spend more to reach people
in Brown Deer and Fox Point who will never patronize them, but readers have
to scratch around for news they care about through the otherwise
irrelevant items about the inner workings of other municipalities. While it is the trend nationally for newspapers to merge,
consolidate staffs and raise advertising costs after falsifying circulation figures,
the joining of suburban Herald's into one mega-neighborhood advertising
circular only tightens Journal Communication's grip on the information it
thinks it can trust us with without us acting up and rebelling. There is a way to strike back, however. The Herald is offering
four free weeks to try to get you hooked on their revamped marketing product.
We suggest you call (262) 317-4254 and take advantage of the
free offer, but clearly insist that the trial end with the fourth issue. After that, you can read the three Shorewood stories or so for
free at Walgreen's, Pic N Save or the gas station in less than five minutes. Our hearts go out to Bridget Fryman
and the other writers who aspire to journalism but are chained to the
inverted pyramid of corporate domination. RIP. _________________ Shorewood

Attorney T. Michael O'Mara, Cookeville's Computer Manager Steve Corder and the city's insurance lawyer, John C. Duffy, of
the Knoxville firm Watson & Hollow, which defends city officials through
the Tennessee Municipal League's Risk Management scheme. The city was in the national
spotlight since a Cookeville Police Officer blew a family dog's head off with
a shotgun during an erroneous traffic stop on Interstate 40 the evening of Jan. 1, 2003. The incident, which was
captured on video, was not reported truthfully by the police officer,
according to the Nashville Tennessean. In denying the Defendants' motion,
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Dominic Amato said many telephone calls are
bounced off satellites, but pointed out that you
don't have to go to outer space to sue someone who cheats you by phone from
another state. Likewise, he reasoned, if Tennessee officials reach out through
the Internet to destroy Wisconsin property, those officials can be sued in
Wisconsin regardless of where the host server is located. Pleadings -- Read the hearing transcript
