The domestic spying debate is no stranger to Washington. As matter of fact, the same argument took place thirty years ago: An intense debate erupted during the Ford administration over the president’s powers to eavesdrop without warrants to gather foreign intelligence, according to newly disclosed government documents. George H.W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney […]
Boehner beat out blunt for the job. It is kind of an interesting shake up to the Republican leadership in Congress but I don’t trust Boehner nor like him. This guy’s office very nastily refused to send someone to a meeting last week of seniors with questions regarding the new Medicare-D debacle. Shows how much […]
The evidence of Abramoff and Bush together isbeing scrubbed. Bush is sounding alot more like Nixon now. David Gregory won’t back down even when he is questioning the President himself. MYDD has released a new design with a new feature called E-Wire. If you can help out Jesus General then please head on over there. […]
That is the cover of the latest issue of The Nation and what a beautiful cover it is. The “I” word is gaining momentum from all corners. People are talking about it, the media is talking about, the left has been talking about it and now even the right is starting to use it. Here […]

The video shows President Bush telling Americans that Congress had the same access […]
The more I read this story and think about it, the more pissed off I get. Last week the House passed the tax cuts to extend them to 2010. The tax cuts pertain mainly to capital gains and dividends, meaning that they affect the upper-middle and upper classes of this country. Yesterday the House took […]
Mike Brown now has his new career ahead of him. That career is a consulting business on how to handle disasters. This from Scripps Howard: Ousted FEMA director Michael Brown, who was vilified over his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, plans to make a fresh start in Colorado, selling his expertise about how emergency […]
More proof of Bush’s dwindling “political capital” was evident yesterday as the Senate Finance Committee struck down the Bush tax cuts. The measure could be voted on by Senate today. The tax cuts removed were part of Bush’s first term tax cut program which he has campaigned Congress to make permanent. During his re-election campaign, […]
Raw Story has uncovered some devastating testimony given by George Tenet while he was the director of the C.I.A.

But as a […]
