An Open Letter to John McCain

Mr. McCain

Let me preface these comments with the facts that I have been a registered Republican during the majority of the 40 years that I have been voting. I vote in almost all primary, general, and certainly in all presidential elections. I voted for you this year in the NJ … Keep Spankin’…

The End of Drinking Water?

07/14/08, 9:42 AM bj | Tagged: , , , ,

Dr. Murphy has a great post over at FireDogLake about the Politics of Water. What it says, in a nutshell, is that the US is exporting one third of our water footprint as farm subsidized crops, while people pay higher prices for bottled water than for gasoline. And Chicago … Keep Spankin’…

A Fascist USA

As of today we will, most likely, no longer be living in a Democracy. With the so-called “compromise” on FISA, which gives Bush everything he wants and covers up his FELONY crimes and those FELONY crimes of the telecoms, we will be living in a Fascist Country, where the TYRANT … Keep Spankin’…

The Strange Bedfellows

Because the Fisa/PAA and Telecom Immunity “compromise” vote that just passed in the House today after much backroom dealing (with the telecoms writing the final draft of the FISA “compromise”, it’s rumored) is so very obviously unconstitutional and such a bitchslap to the American People and the Rule of … Keep Spankin’…

FISA, PAA and the Telecom Lobbyists

06/20/08, 1:01 PM bj | Tagged: , , , , ,

Glenn Greenwald at Salon has a pretty complete wrapup of what’s going on with FISA and PAA, the telecomm immunity issue, and the trashing of our Constitution and Rule of Law. And though the tie to Impeachment isn’t made, it’s pretty obvious from the comments that everyone knows that … Keep Spankin’…

FISA and PAA. Again. Who does Congress think they represent?

06/19/08, 4:56 PM bj | Tagged: , , , ,

The deep pocket Telecomms and Republican fearmongers seem to be swaying the House to vote a backroom deal on FISA which will allow spying on every single one of us with no warrant. How’s that for trashing the Bill of Rights? And it looks like the Telecomms are getting that … Keep Spankin’…

Now they’re trying to sell us a War in Iran . . .

The slashdotters have done a wonderful job of debunking the Nuclear Threat from the Nuclear Warhead blueprints allegedly found on a laptop computer in Switzerland and owned by so-called nuclear smugglers. They first point out that the story in both the NY Times has some inconsistencies with how … Keep Spankin’…

BUSH AND CHENEY IMPEACHMENT!!!!

06/10/08, 3:44 PM bj | Tagged:

According to a bulletin I just received from the Wexler camp, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against Bush on 35 separate allegations of High Crimes. Wexler is a co sponsor on these Articles of Impeachment. But in order for the Repuglycan LockSteppers to be overridden, it is CRUCIAL … Keep Spankin’…
