Today’s most viewed story on the Washington Post is this: Republican presidential candidate Fred D. Thompson has been crisscrossing the country since early this summer on a private jet lent to him by a businessman and close adviser who has a criminal record for drug dealing. Thompson selected the businessman, Philip Martin, to raise seed […]
No – not for President, but I am supporting him in this: Talking Points Memo’s Greg Sargent is reporting today that the Romney campaign has fired a broadside at Fox News, which issued a directive in the wake of John McCain’s “Woodstock ad” forbidding the use of their footage for campaign advertisements. Yes candidates should […]
Think of all the safety recalls we have had lately. Think of the danger our children have been put in because of a lack of safety on toys. What does it amount to? More cronyism and evidence that the Bush administration flat out doesn’t care: The chief of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and her […]
It looks like Condi’s plan of forcing diplomats to Iraq is meeting some resistance. Uneasy U.S. diplomats yesterday challenged senior State Department officials in unusually blunt terms over a decision to order some of them to serve at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad or risk losing their jobs.

I must admit that I really didn’t know too much about Chris Dodd when he entered the race, and from what I did know, I had mixed feelings on. Lately he has taken the initiative on some really important actions in Senate. First he vowed to block the FISA bill because of the telecom immunity, […]
(on a personal note – I wasn’t able to blog yesterday because I decided to take the plunge and move to Vista. I will post about that experience on my tech blog later for those interested). Following yesterday’s news that the State Department decided to give Blackwater immunity, today we find out a new battle […]
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy: Contributions from associates and friends of now-indicted garbage executive James Galante to the 2004 presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman have sparked the interest of federal investigators. Lieberman’s bid for the White House took in at least $14,000 from Galante, his associates and their relatives in the fall […]
Or as I like to call it, “Fucking Crooks!”. It looks like Mitch McConnell is more worried about his own finances than he is the country.
