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 is going to be one of […]
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 is allowed to spy on […]
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 Law, there has to be something […]
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 this is a gravy train no […]
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 Immunity none of us want […]

Articles of Impeachment - Vote Passed (251-166, 16 Not Voting)
The House voted to refer 35 Articles of Impeachment against President Bush to the Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Charles Dent voted NO……
Boy, a lot has happened in a couple years. 251 to 166? Wow. That means that some Repubs stood up to […]
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 things geek actually work. The slashdot article […]
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 for us, the people, to […]
It’s amazing that McCain is trying to visually “distance” himself from Bush. They’ve been pretty much in lock step since the beginning, and in fact many of Bush’s policies were stolen from McCain’s campaign platform when they ran against each other, and what differences there are can be measured in quarter teaspoons instead of oil […]

You need to have you a governor in the great state of Mississippi who understands what it means to create an environment for job growth, who hurts when he hears people are working, and that man is Haley Barbour.
There's a new Kvetch in town. Bipartisan Bull Bashing at its Best.
