I wish to HELL AND BACK that I had written THIS!
Bush to Personally Execute Saddam Hussein
Oh, and read the comments, they continue the opus quite nicely . . .

PARTY! Dem PARTY that is! And Rumsfeld is OUT? Wow.

The message was delivered yesterday LOUD and CLEAR. The US Voter does NOT want Politics As Usual. We’ve got the house, and we’re within a hair’s breadth of taking the Senate, though I fully expect it to wait for a recount in Virginia.
I am in awe. The power of the people has spoken.
We delivered the […]

Today’s the day. Throw the Bums OUT.

C’mon folks, let’s do it. As an email to me said, “In the last 6 years, Bush and the Republicans have lied us into war, poisoned our planet, and trampled our constitution. In the next 8 hours, you can bring all that to an end.”

Republicans, conservation, environmentalism, CREA, and Teddy Roosevelt

11/6/06, 7:43 PM

The New West News has an interesting article this week, which discusses the bass-ackwardness of the Republican pols and their thinking (or lack thereof) on conservation and the environmentalist climate in the US today - in which Todd Wilkinson asks, “Is it a contradiction or, closer to the point, is it mutually exclusive to be […]

Bush sunk to a new low

11/6/06, 10:40 AM

Putting aside the fact that Hussein deserves whatever he gets, the manipulation of the Iraqi Tribunal by the Bush Administration solely for political gains right before the election and at a time when the Iraqi situation was already volatile, thus putting both Iraqi and US lives in danger, is absolutely despicable. Anyone who thinks […]

Permission needed to enter or leave US for US CITIZENS???

11/4/06, 10:43 PM

Now THIS is not only scary but has me so angry I’m seeing red. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed that all airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the United States. This INCLUDES passport carrying US citizens. The last two countries […]

End of Oversight Auditing on Iraqi Contractors snuck into Bill

11/3/06, 11:08 AM

This has the stink of the Bush Corruption all over it. According to the article in the NY Times:
Investigations led by a Republican lawyer named Stuart W. Bowen Jr. in Iraq have sent American occupation officials to jail on bribery and conspiracy charges, exposed disastrously poor construction work by well-connected companies like Halliburton and Parsons, […]

ARE you a “conservative”?

11/2/06, 10:51 PM

I dunno…. I THOUGHT I was. But then I read this post on Donklephant - and now I’m not only pretty sure I’m NOT, I’m also…. queasy….
Ewww. Here’s where it gets ugly. Okay, I’m NOT a “conservative” or a “Republican”, self-evident I suppose. Then again, I’m certainly not a “liberal” […]

FCC Agenda Update with Possible GOOD News on Net Neutrality

11/2/06, 3:04 PM

The AT&T/BellSouth Merger, along with the proposed Notice of Inquiry on Net Neutrality is OFF the agenda for the Friday FCC Meeting. According to Harold Feld at Wet Machine this most likely indicates that Adelstein and Copps have put Martin on notice that they will not accept a NOI as a substitute for merger conditions. […]
