MSNBC just now reported that Bush ordered Miers to not show up tomorrow for the congressional hearing and she indeed won’t. Considering Congress hasn’t released her from the obligation to show up, this means she will most likely face contempt of Congress charges. Just another chapter in the life of “Bush hates the rule of […]
The obstructionists just filibustered Jim Webb’s amendment that would require troops have at least the equal amount of time off duty as they do on. Apparently they feel the troops can stay in Iraq as much as needed with little time home. Just to set the record straight, this amendment was taking our military back […]
While I been busy reconfiguring all kinds of business stuff today, I have had MSNBC on. They have been running John McCain doing his cheerleading speech for the Iraq War, on the Senate Floor today. Why doesn’t anyone in the “mainstream media” ask the simple question – Why is McCain worried about big speeches when […]

Schumer responded; “two wrongs don’t make a right”. For as “bad” as Clinton was for this country (according to […]
I have been watching and it has been a great show. It is fun to see artists from other countries that we never hear about. Of course to people on the right, that is something to fear. Here is Malkin’s take: Who are these people and what on earth are they doing? Why, they are […]
These Republicans, which are up for re-election, are starting to get scared: The tide of Republican defections from President George W. Bush’s camp swelled Saturday when two more US senators joined the chorus of critics of his Iraq policy, demanding change. But while expressing sharp disagreement with the strategy of “surging” the number of US troops […]
Seems like we hear these headlines all the time. This week was no exception. The problem with it? This “key leader” was killed over a year ago: The U.S. command in Baghdad this week ballyhooed the killing of a key al Qaeda leader but later admitted that the military had declared him dead a year […]
