Andrew Sullivan: It says something that, challenged for posing in a photo with a man with a swastika-bedecked Obama sign, all she says in response is that far left people used Nazi imagery against “Bushitler” for years. This is true and she rightly disdained it. But … so? Why is it ok now but not […]
Well under Bush it appears to have done just the opposite: The 20 largest banks that received government rescue funds slightly reduced their lending to consumers and businesses in the last three months of 2008, the government said Tuesday. The Treasury Department said the banks reduced their mortgage and business loans by a median of […]
The new recovery.gov site is up and running. It’s nice to see such transparency from our government. It’s also nice to see they chose the best content management system out there to build the site in – Drupal!
Finally we are starting to see some accountability from the wasted adventure called Iraq: In what could turn out to be the greatest fraud in US history, American authorities have started to investigate the alleged role of senior military officers in the misuse of $125bn (£88bn) in a US -directed effort to reconstruct Iraq after […]
Bipartisanship is another name for date rape –Grover Norquist quoted in the Denver Post 2003. This was right after the Republicans took control of Senate in 2002.

The past two years George Bush was able to get whatever he wanted out of Congress, yet look at his approval rating. Also […]
I was checking out Gallup’s site and saw this: No Mandate for Criminal Probes of Bush Administration Most favor investigations into controversial terror techniques, possible abuse of Justice Dept. Sounds like America just doesn’t want to see Bush punished – doesn’t it? Well now, let’s have a quick gander at the actual poll results:{[}]lt;/p> HMMM […]
You got to love Rush Limbaugh and his infinite wisdom: LIMBAUGH: In addition, they have reformatted the bill — they’ve made it a PDF file when they posted it. Now, for those of you that don’t use computers, basically what that means is that it cannot be keyword searched. A PDF file is essentially a […]
The fact that the stimulus isn’t seeing any Republican votes in the House and only three in the Senate isn’t a sign that it’s a bad bill, it’s a sign that it’s something against a far-right ideology that has plagued this country for too long. A perfect example of this is from the mouth of […]
