Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "As millions of students prepare for the start of another school year, we focus on an issue that concerns many parents: the increasing presence of military recruiters in the nation's high schools and the military's ability to gather information about students. We speak with journalist David Goodman about his Mother Jones article 'A Few Good Kids?' and with the New York Civil Liberties Union's Ari Rosmarin, who works on the organization's Project on Military Recruitment and Students' Rights."

Tom H. Hastings, Truthout: "Jumbo shrimp. Buy and save. Jobless recovery. Americans are on full oxymoron alert these days, as we read and hear about this 'jobless recovery.' Recovery for whom? The unemployment rate is high and growing higher, nearing an official 10 percent - an estimate which is always lower than the reality of impoverished, underemployed and 'discouraged workers' who have stopped bothering to officially register. Since this recession began, 7 million Americans have lost their jobs. Why aren't 7 million of us 'too big enough to fail'?"

- and Why It May Take a Revolt to Fix It

By Matt Taibbi

Let's start with the obvious: America has not only the worst but the dumbest health care system in the developed world. It's become a black leprosy eating away at the American experiment - a bureaucracy so insipid and mean and illogical that even our darkest criminal minds wouldn't be equal to dreaming it up on purpose.

By Matthew Rothschild

It's Labor Day and the American worker doesn't have a lot to celebrate. Unemployment stands at 9.7 percent-that's 15 million people out of work, officially, and millions more unofficially.

By Ralph Nader

Ever wonder what's happening to words once they fall into the hands of corporate and government propagandists? Too often reporters and editors don't wonder enough. They ditto the words even when the result is deception or doubletalk.
