House Fails To Override SCHIP Veto – UPDATED

Misc

Final vote was 273-156. The sick Republicans were cheering when the override failed. Glad to see they find illness and death involving children as something to cheer for. 44 Republicans voted with Democrats and two Democrats crossed over. The most upsetting part of this is it shows that the “House of Representatives” doesn’t represent the […]

Talk About Being In The Minority

Misc

For years right wingers would taunt out the fact that Democrats were in the minority. That minority was very slim though. Both times Bush won the White House, it was so damn close. So these same wingnuts who so boldly reminded us of our minority status over the past several years now find themselves in […]

This Was Priceless

Misc

Bush during his press conference, talking about Russia’s diplomatic reform; “I emphasis to them that checks and balances are important”. Why yes they are Mr. Bush! Mr. Putin – to learn about these checks and balances, just watch George Bush. Whatever he does – do the opposite. Also wipe “executive privilege” from your vocabulary.

Screwing The Elder

Misc

That is what this administration has been good at. The latest comes in the form of Social Security: Come January, the nation’s nearly 50 million Social Security recipients will see the smallest cost-of-living increases in their monthly checks in four years, even though they are paying significantly more for such items as food, energy and […]

Hey Rush – Are These Phoney Soldiers Also?

Misc

Twelve Army captains that have served in Iraq penned an op-ed in today’s Washington Post calling for the immediate withdrawal of our troops. Here are some highlights from it: What does Iraq look like on the ground? It’s certainly far from being a modern, self-sustaining country.

So The Phone Companies Admit Constitutional Violations

Misc

That is exactly what this is: Verizon Communications, the nation’s second-largest telecom company, told congressional investigators that it has provided customers’ telephone records to federal authorities in emergency cases without court orders hundreds of times since 2005. The company said it does not determine the requests’ legality or necessity because to do so would slow […]

Is This A Phony Soldier?

Misc

Perhaps we should ask Rush: In a sweeping indictment of the four-year effort in Iraq, the former top American commander called the Bush administration’s handling of the war incompetent and warned that the United States was “living a nightmare with no end in sight.” In one of his first major public speeches since leaving the […]
