I thought one of the driving forces behind the Tea Party was a fight against the “business as usual” mentality that plagues our leaders. Rand Paul has done a great job of stereotyping himself as one of those type of leaders and this doesn’t help with that: Kentucky Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul wrote in […]
More trouble for Benedict: Top Vatican officials — including the future Pope Benedict XVI — did not defrock a priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part […]
Both parties suffer from corrupt members of their caucuses, but the Republican party seems to have a pandemic of corruption deep within it, even locally. Here is what’s happening here in Butler County, Ohio – the home of IntoxiNation and minority leader John Boehner: Butler County is doing more than its share these days to […]
I found this story via Andrew Sullivan, who is going after Belief Net’s Rod Dreher. Terry Caffey can still taste the blood and gunpowder. He can hear the staccato gunfire, the shrieks of terror and the plaintive wail of his 13-year-old son – “Why? Why?” He can feel the heat and suffocating smoke from the […]

Here’s a clip caught by Think Progress: As Think Progress points out: What’s more, as Center for American Progress Action Fund President John Podesta pointed out to Scarborough […]
I never have liked Dennis Miller. His comedy always sucked, which is why he is now stuck being a butt boy for Murdoch and Co. In his latest sick attempt at humor, Miller says women on the left are jealous of Sarah Palin because “she has a great sex life”. Check it out: For all […]
The big F.U. that corporate media execs gave to the American people and, more importantly, U.S. soldiers. Jessica Yellin told Anderson Cooper last night the following: Yellin: I think the press corps dropped the ball in the beginning when the lead up to war began, uh the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate […]
Looks like more trouble happening in our government: F.B.I. agents on Tuesday raided and temporarily shut down the offices of a small federal watchdog agency that is charged with protecting the rights of government whistle-blowers but has been accused of retaliating against whistle-blowers in its own ranks. The raid on the downtown Washington headquarters of […]
Her accusations of Barrack Obama plagiarizing Deval Patrick, even with Deval admitting him and Obama discussed using these phrases, sounds really weak. If she wants to continue with this game, then perhaps she can answer to some of her “plagiarisms”.
So long idiot!: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned. A senior administration official said he would announce the decision later this morning in Washington. Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation, submitted his to President Bush by telephone on […]
