Who Lost Ohio? As more evidence comes in
disproving voting fraud in the 2004 Presidential election, perhaps the real lessons for Democrats can be gleaned from this NYT (Reg required, of course) feature on ACT, a Democratic 527. Lavishly funded by George Soros and unions, this high tech organization turned out a record number (2.66 million) of Democratic voters in Ohio, but were out-organized and beaten by a grass-roots Republican effort operating below their radar.

Revenue Watch, yet another project from Soros'
Open Society Institute, brings you research, information, and advocacy on how revenues from natural resources are being invested and disbursed--and how responsive governments and companies are to demands for accountability. Currently focused on Azerbaijan, Iraq, and Kazahkstan, you can find information on everything from
the CPA's rush to award contracts in Iraq before June 30, to
reports on the Caspian Oil Boom, to
journalist training and full transcripts of international conferences.

The bubble of American supremacy by George Soros "I see parallels between the Bush administration's pursuit of American supremacy and a boom-bust process or bubble in the stock market. Bubbles do not arise out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but misconception distorts reality. Here, the dominant position of the United States is the reality, the pursuit of American supremacy the misconception." (From Drudge)

So we've got opinions about
Bill Gates. But what about billionaire
George Soros? He funds, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, various causes in
the US, in
Europe, and
elsewhere. He's a critic of what he sees as the
excesses of late capitalism. But does Soros represent a good thing? (More inside...)
