Yesterday posted about the mountain of failures this administration has had. From Iraq to Katrina, it can be a full time job just documenting all the wrong turns the Bush White House has made. Also yesterday, we saw the first Republican publicly calling for Gonzales to go. John Sununu has been critical of the administration […]
Funny how Bush always says that the historian’s will judge him in the future and they will judge him as being a great leader and visionary. What makes it so funny is the fact that during his first year in office (two months after 9/11) he issued an executive order protecting Presidential records: Overturning the […]
It appears that way: Banana company Chiquita Brands International said Wednesday it has agreed to a $25 million fine after admitting it paid a Colombian terrorist group for protection in a volatile farming region. The settlement resolves a lengthy Justice Department investigation into the company’s financial dealings with terrorist organizations in Colombia. In court documents […]
Biden gave one hell of a speech on the Senate floor today: AMEN! Bob Geiger has the run down on this fantastic speech.
We ended up giving Bush his return to the White House in 2004. By we, I mean Ohio. The people on our side knew something was not quiet right about it, but our complaints went largely unheard. In January we finally saw a conviction in one of Ohio’s counties for rigging a recount. Today they […]

A new CBS poll shows that 76% believe the administration hasn’t done enough to care for our wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan (h/t Steve). Of course the new person the Pentagon chose to run Walter Reed, Maj. Gen. Gale Pollock, believes that the reports of neglect are a lie: Pollock, in an e-mail […]
The flack between Sharpton and Obama is nothing more than that – flack. Kos posted earlier about Sharpton’s criticism of Obama and I have to agree. Obama is out talking about his anti-war stance, so why did he support Joe Lieberman? Lieberman has been out blasting Democrats for trying to stop the war and even […]
It really sounds like someone was trying to avoid getting in trouble with the lies he told Senate under oath. He spun his excuses every which way but the truth. Aravosis has a full run down of the highlights. We also have CREW now calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Gonzales and the entire […]
Thanks to Nichole we have this flashback where Bush had the prosecutor in Guam removed. The prosecutor had a grand jury and was investigating none other than Jack Abramoff: A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal […]
