ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Dog Days of Summer: Last week we learned that almost all the oil gushed from the Deepwater Horizon well has magically disappeared, unemployment is still high, there's a new Supreme Court Justice, grain prices shot up because of giant fires in Russia, gays can marry in California (almost), the war in Iraq is over (almost) and the Pentagon wants wikileaks to give them back all their stuff! This Amanpour goes all military with General RAY ODIERNO and General PETER CHIARELLI while Face the Bob gets far-right-winger evangelical TONY PERKINS. Meet the David gets WH Energy Adviser CAROL BROWNER and JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER plus a roundtable grudge match with HAROLD FORD and MIKE PENCE. State of the Candy gets VA guvnor BOB MCDONNELL and MI guvnor JENNIFER GRANHOLM plus Admiral THAD ALLEN will explain what they did with all the oil in the Gulf. And this weekend also marks the 65th Anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S. the only time such a weapon was used and against thousands of unsuspecting Japanese civillians who were incinerated instantly or died shortly from radioactive poisoning. The Japan Times reports At a memorial ceremony attended for the first time ever by a U.N. secretary general and a U.S. representative, Hiroshima on Friday marked the 65th anniversary of its atomic bombing by calling on Japan to withdraw from the U.S. nuclear umbrella and accelerate the progress made over the past 18 months to eliminate nuclear arms....Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba said in his message to the ceremony that Japan needs to do more to assure the world it is serious about remaining a nonnuclear state. "The time is ripe for the Japanese government to take decisive action. It should begin to take the lead in the pursuit of the elimination of nuclear weapons by legislating the three nonnuclear principles, abandoning the U.S. nuclear umbrella, and implementing passionate, caring assistance measures for all of the aging hibakusha anywhere in the world." ... The mayor also urged Kan to speak to nuclear weapons states directly and push them to disarm completely by 2020. Also in the JT Rhetoric belies atomic policy, But amid the warnings of the dangers of the weapons and calls to prevent further nuclear proliferation internationally, little was heard about proliferation risks associated with Japan's support for exporting its nuclear power technology to nations that have not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, or its pursuit of a plutonium program at the Monju fast-breeder, and construction of the Rokkasho nuclear fuel reprocessing plant....Of particular concern is Japan's effort to secure a nuclear cooperation agreement with India, which is not a party to the NPT regime. On June 28, Tokyo entered into negotiations with India to export nuclear power technology and equipment. In addition to antinuclear groups, Akiba indicated to Hiroshima media last month he opposes the deal, although he did not mention it at Friday's ceremony. But five hibakusha organizations in Nagasaki have also formally protested it. "If Japan concludes a nuclear cooperation agreement with India on the grounds that other countries, including the U.S., Russia and France, have done so, or because it is in Japan's commercial interest, it will become impossible to prevent nuclear proliferation," said the Tokyo-based Citizens' Nuclear Information Center, following the June announcement by Prime Minister Naoto Kan's government that it will pursue a deal. And what would the U.S. do with its huge stockpile of decomm'd ICBMs loaded with highly enriched uranium? Make more depleted uranium weapons? The U.S. still hasn't figured out what to do with its nuclear waste from its own nuke power plants across the country. Learn more at NuclearFreePlanet.org.

HELP BRADLEY MANNING Julian Assange, wikileaks: Asked about Mr. Manning, Mr. Assange said: "There is no allegation as far as we can determine" that the documents posted on WikiLeaks Sunday are "connected to Bradley Manning." He said WikiLeaks has nonetheless "committed funds" to Pfc. Manning's legal defense, offering his military-appointed legal team money in case it wants to hire civilian counsel. (WSJ)

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)

The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

  • VIDEO! Pap with GREG PALAST! BP’s OTHER Spill As the media focuses on the BP oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico that continues to poison that body of water, they completely missed the story about another BP oil spill that occurred up North. Luckily, investigative journalist Greg Palast has been exposing the lies and activities of BP for the last 20 years, and he uncovered the story when the media failed, and he recently joined Mike Papantonio to talk about the many problems that he has uncovered about BP.
  • VIDEO! Sam Seder & DAHR JAMAIL!Are taxpayers going to be footing the bill to clean up BP’s mess in the Gulf of Mexico? If you’ve been following the news reports on the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, you might not be fully aware of the impact that this disaster is having on the people of the Gulf Coast. But when you look past the news stories about BP’s attempts to stop the leak, you’ll find that there is pain and suffering all along the coast, particularly among the fishermen who are now out of work, and most have had to go work for the very company that cost them their livelihoods. Sam Seder talks with investigative journalist Dahr Jamail, who recently visited Louisiana to speak with the people who have been effected by this spill, so that we can fully understand the human cost of this disaster.
