  29. Editorial on White Privilege (Jensen) star
      Explores the issue of "white privilege," unearned advantages because the person has light colored skin and European features.

      "Here's what white privilege sounds like: I'm sitting in my University of Texas office, talking to a very bright and very conservative white student about affirmative action in college admissions, which he opposes and I support. The student says he wants a level playing field with no unearned advantages for anyone. I ask him whether he thinks that being white has advantages in the United States. Have either of us, I ask, ever benefited from being white in a world run mostly by white people? Yes, he concedes, there is something real and tangible we could call white privilege."

      "So, if we live in a world of white privilege – unearned white privilege - how does that affect your notion of a level playing field? I asked. He paused for a moment and said, 'That really doesn't matter.' That statement, I suggested to him, reveals the ultimate white privilege: The privilege to acknowledge that you have unearned privilege but to ignore what it means."

  35. Enron - Confidentiality of Advisory Meetings and the Constitution (U.S. House of Representatives)
      Argues that the Government Accounting Office (GAO), an arm of Congress, has the authority to request records from the White House regarding policy task forces in which lobbyists were allowed to participate. Part of Congress's oversight responsibility includes preventing the executive branch of government from allowing lobbyists too much influence over government policies.

      Vice President Chaney counters that '...I'm a constitutional officer. And the authority of the GAO does not extend in that case to my office.' The letter from members of Congress does not agree. It states that "Under 31 U.S.C. sec.712, GAO is an extension of Congress and has authority to investigate 'all matters related to ...the use of public money.' " Congress is investigating whether the White House allowed Enron lobbyists to shape national energy policy. Uses PDF format. 2-02

  37. Superfunds - Bush to Shift Costs to Taxpayers (Time - Reaves)
      President Bush plans to shift the cost of cleaning up major pollution sites away from the corporations responsible for the pollution. Instead, he wants to reduce the size of the Superfund and to have taxpayers pay a larger share for the cleanup. "A White House victory would likely bring an immediate drop-off in the number of sites approved for Superfund status. But of even greater concern to environmental advocates is that the change will see the disincentive to pollute wither away alongside the Superfund coffers. After all, industrial polluters have been kept in check by the threat of having to fund costly cleanups." 2-02

  43. Fires - National Fire Plan (Washington Post - Llanos and Johnson)
      "The administration, which has promoted a variety of land policies that have antagonized environmentalists, is hoping to capitalize on the heightened anxiety that has spread this season, along with the fires, across the western United States."

      "Specifically, the administration official and White House documents released tonight said that Congress should change land laws so government agencies could permit long-term 'stewardship contracts' with private companies, which would be permitted to keep wood products in exchange for thinning trees and removing brush and dead wood."

      "Environmentalists immediately characterized Bush’s proposals as misguided and unnecessary, because western governors have worked with conservation groups to finalize a new 10-year strategy to prevent wildfires and reduce the threat they pose to people and property near the edge of forests." 8-02

  44. Fires - National Fire Plan (Washington Post - Goldstein)
      "The administration, which has promoted a variety of land policies that have antagonized environmentalists, is hoping to capitalize on the heightened anxiety that has spread this season, along with the fires, across the western United States."

  45. Leaders Warn About Invasion of Iraq (MSNBC)
      "Former Secretary of State James Baker became latest member of former President George H. W. Bush’s administration to express reservations about a U.S. attack on Iraq Sunday and encouraged the the White House to build an international coalition." "A number of other influential Republicans — including former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft and outgoing House of Representatives Majority Leader Dick Armey — have questioned both the need for and the consequences of a pre-emptive U.S. attack."

      "Scowcroft, who remains close to the former President Bush, wrote in The Wall Street Journal that attacking Iraq would distract the United States from the war on terrorism. Washington’s European and Arab allies and friends are almost universally opposed to military action." 8-02

  46. Essay - John McCain Should Switch Parties and Run for President Again (The Washington Monthly - Green)
      "Deep down, what worries them [Democrats] is the growing sense that none of these candidates can beat Bush. Doing that will require someone with the perfect combination of qualities: the ability to match Bush's greatest strength (military leadership), exploit his greatest weakness (shameless ties to special interests), and offer a fresh, appealing agenda of his own. More and more, an honest survey of Democratic contenders suggests that unless the political winds change, the likeliest outcome is: four more years of George W. Bush."

      "There is an alternative, but it isn't one that most people have considered. In fact, the best Democrat may be someone who's no Democrat at all: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). As a war hero who's hawkish on foreign policy, he more than matches Bush on the military front. As a reform-minded foe of corporate welfare, Big Tobacco, and the Republican right, he is peerless. McCain is Bush's most vociferous critic, voted against the president's tax cut, forced his hand on campaign finance reform, and federalized airport security in the face of White House opposition. He has co-sponsored numerous bills with Democrats--many of them in the presidential-aspirant class--requiring background checks at gun shows (Lieberman), a patients' bill of rights (Edwards), better fuel-efficiency standards in cars and SUVs (Kerry), and expanded national service programs (Bayh). He is even drafting a bill with Lieberman to reduce greenhouse gasses and mitigate global warming." 12-02

  47. John Snow - Comments on Nominations of John Snow and Stephan Friedman (Townhall.com - Kudlow)
      "Apparently, Vice President Dick Cheney quietly led a search team that came up with Snow. In contrast, the White House loudly leaked the name of investment banker Stephen Friedman to replace Larry Lindsey as head of the National Economic Council. Neither the stock market nor the rest of the world (nor me) knows much about these men." 12-02

  48. Cost of War With Iraq (CNN - Bash)
      "The White House is downplaying published reports of an estimated $50 billion to $60 billion price tag for a war with Iraq, saying it is 'impossible' to estimate the cost at this time. " 1-03

  49. Hydrogen Fuel Cells Fact Sheet (Whitehouse.gov)
      "In his State of the Union address, President Bush announced a $1.2 billion hydrogen fuel initiative to reverse America's growing dependence on foreign oil by developing the technology for commercially viable hydrogen-powered fuel cells to power cars, trucks, homes and businesses with no pollution or greenhouse gases."

      "Under the President's hydrogen fuel initiative, the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by fuel cells." 2-03

  50. Fueling War - Oil and Iraq (TargetOil.com from Newsday - Royce)
      "Officially, the White House agrees that oil revenue would play an important role during an occupation period, but only for the benefit of Iraqis, according to a National Security Council spokesman."

      "Yet there are strong advocates inside the administration, including in the White House, for appropriating the oil funds as 'spoils of war,' according to a source who has been briefed by participants in the dialogue."

      "Using Iraqi oil to fund an occupation would reinforce a prevalent belief in the Mideast that the conflict is all about control of oil, not rooting out weapons of mass destruction, according to Halim Barakat, a recently retired professor of Arab studies at Georgetown University." 2-03
