Busy little beavers, aren’t they? And yet, no one from BushCo thought to mention it this week:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) — A United Arab Emirates government-owned company is poised to take over port terminal operations in 21 American ports, far more than the six widely reported.
The Bush administration has approved the takeover of British-owned Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. to DP World, a deal set to go forward March 2 unless Congress intervenes.



I’m visiting some of the sites that were involved in the Alito filibuster, to say:
The Alito filibuster movement — that astounding grassroots energy — was just the beginning of something really powerful. Several of my recent posts over at VichyDems talk about this burgeoning movement, and several bloggers — Glenn Greenwald, Jane at Firedoglake, even Digby and maybe even Kos — are working on a state-by-state grassroots plan to take back the country. So please keep up the energy! We ARE going to win!
