In the aftermath of Katrina, President Bush appeared in New Orleans along side Mississippi Senator Trent Lott and talked about rebuilding. He even said he looked forward to the day when Lott’s house was rebuilt and he could sit on the porch with him drinking lemonade. It appears as though Lott might not feel the […]

OK I think we have now seen enough of Bush to last the next decade. From his televised radio address on Saturday to his prime time speech last night I was already tired of him. Today though, I got an extra dose. Bush decided to surprise people with a press conference. He actually used this […]

The President made his speech and it was pretty much same old, same old. He did admit some miscalculations in the process but kind of blew them off as learning experiences. I am sure the families of fallen soldiers are proud to know their loved ones gave their lives for a learning experience on behalf […]

Democrat Congressman John Dingle (MI-15) recited the following on the House floor yesterday. I thought it was so nice and humorous it needed to be shared further: Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House No bills were passed ‘bout which Fox News could grouse; Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with […]

This is not only disturbing, but also teetering on being unconstitutional. The National Security Agency has eavesdropped, without warrants, on as many 500 people inside the United States at any given time since 2002, The New York Times reported Friday. That year, following the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush authorized the NSA to monitor the […]
