There has been a lot of coverage on the news networks today about the House’s debate over the resolution to commemorate 9/11. The question is – why today? Should this not have been debated and enacted for the actual anniversary – 3 days ago? Oh wait – I got it. The House was on recess […]
One thing Bush can not hide from this election season is the plethora of problems facing our forces in Iraq. Today has been another very bloody day: Police said Wednesday they found the bodies of 65 men who had been tortured, shot and dumped, most around Baghdad, while car bombs and mortar attacks killed at […]
The interesting thing about this race is the fact that the Republicans had to dump tons of money into the race to help the person they didn’t even really want. With them having to do that, it shows you how scared they really are about losing Senate this fall.
OH how I hate being busy and missing out on good stories like this: Pres. Bush is unpopular. This is not news.

Here are a few things I am sure Bush won’t mention during his speech tonight. Worried CIA Officers Buy Legal Insurance CIA counterterrorism officers have signed up in growing numbers for a government-reimbursed, private insurance plan that would pay their civil judgments and legal expenses if they are sued or charged with criminal wrongdoing, according […]
It looks like the Republicans are revving up for a nasty cycle of political ads: Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said. The National Republican […]
Here is the shape of campaigning with only a few weeks left before the mid-term elections: President Bush urged Congress Thursday to give him “additional authority” to continue his administration’s warrantless eavesdropping program. The speech was his latest effort in several days to mark the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by framing […]
TPM Cafe has obtained a letter written by Clinton’s attorneys and sent to ABC regarding the 9/11 docu-drama.
