Today's Salon.com

Hey all, I just wanted to mention a few articles on Salon.com today. The first is about Ariel Sharon's leaving the right-wing Likud party, and announcing early elections. He's attempting to form his own party, which, with a newly invigorated leftist Labour Party under the direction of newcomer Amir Peretz, could create a three party system in Israeli politics. At the very least, it will be an interesting election cycle.

The second is a good wrap-up of how BushCo. has found itself suddenly on the defensive. More than that, Tom Englehart writes that we've reached a watershed moment, a tipping point as it were. It seems that Americans are finally waking up from the nightmare of 9/11 and no longer responding to the White House's scare tactics. Well, that and whole lot more. Seriously, read this. It's porn for liberals and leftists.
