Just saw this tweet from Chuck Todd: Goss: “What we’re now seeing is that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has not made one iota of improvement.” So Goss is saying that his successors haven’t fixed the mess he left behind. That also goes along with what I have been saying – the […]
We hear the phrase “24 hour news cycle” an awful lot, but in reality we don’t have a 24 hour news cycle. Instead this decade has seen a 24 hour news cycle evolve into a 24 hour opinion cycle. Take the case of my previous post of Mary Matalin claiming that Bush inherited 9/11 and […]
The news of the “attempted bombing” of a Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit yesterday has brought out the craziness of the right, and nothing is crazier than this statement from Pete Hoekstra: So if we are considering what happened yesterday a terrorist attack, then does that mean Richard Reid, the shoe-bomber, was also a […]
“We are tired of watching as year after year candidates offer up detailed health care plans with great fanfare and promise only to see them crushed under the weight of Washington politics and drug and insurance lobbying once the campaign is over.” Candidate Obama Here is the video of candidate Obama saying this, with big […]
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has launched a new 60-second ad targeting Rahm Emanuel: Rahm is a good target, but I think we should also look at Obama, who is ultimately in charge.

This brings me to another issue […]
There we have Drudge pushing a story about nine murders/suicides in Chicago over the holiday weekend. This has been an obsession of Drudge since Obama became our President. Somehow Drudge thinks that it all reflects upon our President. Interesting considering we never pinned crimes in Texas on Bush.
The story of the White House party crashers is apparently the only thing that has happened over the extended weekend if you listen to MSNBC, so let me take a moment and bring up my thoughts. There is a lot of finger pointing going on with this. Some are blaming the Secret Service, while others […]
Very powerful, especially this line: With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics I have always broke with the rest of the left on Afghanistan, but I do believe that the situation requires less troops – not more. This […]
Two former DOJ officials under Bush have written an op-ed supporting the decision to bring Gitmo detainees to the U.S. to stand trial. The money line: But some prominent criticisms are exaggerated, and others place undue faith in military commissions as an alternative to civilian trials. The people exaggerating the trials are the very ones […]
