Environmentalists have feared that Bush would try to use his last year in office to push for opening up areas for drilling, and that is exactly his plan: The Bush administration has proposed allowing oil and gas drilling in an area of the Bering Sea considered important for the recovery of the world’s most endangered […]
The Politico is just now getting the story out of McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm, and his ties to the subprime mess we are in today. I reported about this on Monday. All the same, I am glad to see the story get some traction now. People need to know that the man behind McCain’s […]
She raises some very good points: Don’t veto the people’s choice. “I think there is a concern when the public speaks and there is a counter-decision made to that,” she said, adding quickly, “I don’t think that will happen.” She said the governors, lawmakers, DNC members and others picked as super delegates are chosen through […]
That is Bush’s favorite line, but why should we? Josh has this to say: But going back now some four years, who can point to even a single Bush administration decision in Iraq, either strategic or tactical, that didn’t turn out to be either a bad idea or a complete disaster?

Last months poll question “Who should lead an investigation into the response to Katrina”, ended with a record 118 votes. Of those votes 98% said an independent commission should investigate while the reaming 2% didn’t see a need for an investigation. Keeping with the disaster theme, this months poll will involve evacuations. With the questions […]
Bush has accepted full responsibility for the governments failed response in the days immediately following Katrina’s land fall. “To the extent the federal government didn’t fully do its job right, I take responsibility,” Bush said in a joint press conference with Iraq’s President this after noon. Bush did reaffirm his desire to find out “what […]
I am going to try and discredit the myth being told by the right regarding the response of last week’s disaster. Seems like there is an enormous effort out there to take all blame from the President, yet put blame on the Mayor. Well those right-wing spinners need to realize they both have blame to […]
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 […]
