This is very interesting and it will be even more interesting to see how the wingnuts try and spin it: Just before noon today, a petition signed by about a thousand members of the military will be delivered to Congress by about 50 active-duty officers. The petition calls for the withdrawal of all troops from […]
It was bad enough when FOX kept labeling Mark Foley as a Democrat, but now the Obama shit is getting carried away. This is the latest, from a FOX affiliate of course: A news segment broadcast by Minneapolis-St. Paul’s KMSP-TV, also known as “FOX9,” shows footage of people marching with signs and placards supporting Barack […]
Last year, Ken Mehlman was always appearing on different talk shows, but his message was always the same. He would constantly resort to his meme of “the Democrats are not unified”. It was becoming his greatest jab at the minority party. Here we are in 2007 and now the tables are turned. In the House […]
During the holidays, I was getting so frustrated. Every time I turned on MSNBC or CNN, I was greeted with a repeat. Something sounds wrong with turning on a NEWS channel and seeing re-runs. If I wanted re-runs, I would stick to watching prime-time network television, but MSNBC and CNN have turned to that same […]
It is amazing how badly the administration does not want the detainees at Gitmo to receive legal defense: The senior Pentagon official in charge of military detainees suspected of terrorism said in an interview this week that he was dismayed that lawyers at many of the nation’s top firms were representing prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, […]
So these people can be sent to fight and die for Bush’s failed war, yet they aren’t allowed to voice their concerns? This is really disturbing: The pictures were just what the White House wanted: A teary-eyed President Bush presenting the Medal of Honor posthumously to a slain war hero in the East Room, then […]
Getting someone to prosecute corrupt politicians effectively is a hard thing, but for Bush, getting someone to not prosecute them is apparently harder: The Bush administration has quietly asked San Diego U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, best known for her high-profile prosecutions of politicians and corporate executives, to resign her post, a law enforcement official said. […]
Yesterday CNN ran clips of the same 3 or 4 people saying they support Bush, but the clips of the people against the escalation plan were numerous. One clip they ran for support of the plan came from Iraq, where a member of the military thought it was a good idea. Now we got the […]
The right-wing meme about Iraq and Bush has always been “we haven’t been attacked since 9/11”. When you try to use the same for Clinton, saying before 9/11, we weren’t attacked since the first WTC bombing, they quickly point to bombings of our embassies and of the Cole. A few months ago, we saw our […]
President Bush must be knocking back some 420 from Humboldt if he expects us to buy this plan. In fact, I have photographic proof he’s toasted. Note the ornate water bong on the mantel behind him. Read on
