After fighting with a right wing defendant onBill Maher’s forum, who insisted only 13% of Americans were blaming George Bush for the bad response last week in the Gulf Coast, I dissected his data and produced an enormous lie being reported by the right wing spin machine NewsMax. First NewsMax reported this on Wednesday in […]
The Boston Herald reports today that Exxon is expected to make more than $10 billion in profits for this quarter. Kind of nice for a company that has not felt the crunch of Hurricane Katrina like all other Americans are. Oil companies came under new fire yesterday when it emerged that ExxonMobil’s profits are likely […]

Photoshop can be fun, especially with such an incompetent boob in the White House.
Bush has made an appointment to head the investigation into what went wrong with last week’s response to Katrina.
