Guilty Until Proven Innocent? The Right’s Assault On Women Continues

Society

The fringe elements of America’s right continues to show it’s ugly head: Georgia state Rep. Bobby Franklin (R) has made a name for himself by introducing far-right extremist bills. He has introduced legislation barring the state from requiring vaccinations, eliminating income taxes and replacing them with nothing, and requiring state taxpayers to only pay in […]

White House Fires Back At Cheney

National Security

Can we have more of this please? There are numerous other such public statements that explicitly state we are at war. The difference is this: President Obama doesn’t need to beat his chest to prove it, and – unlike the last Administration – we are not at war with a tactic (“terrorism”), we at war […]

We Don’t Need Another “Heckuva Job Brownie”

National Security

I’m going with Andrew Sullivan on this one: Her latest interview on the Today show again reveals a total obtuseness. Yes, as was obvious from the original clip, it was clear she was referring to what happened after the incident occurred and the system does seem to have worked from then on. But before that? […]

Republicans Just Don’t Get It

Misc

Their is still furor on the right over that DHS report. I particularly like this line: Rep.

Timothy James McVeigh (April 23, […]

So it turns out that a member of Congress was targeted for some NSA spying: And in one previously undisclosed episode, the N.S.A. tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant, an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the matter said. The agency believed that the congressman, whose identity could not be determined, […]

Truer Words Never Been Spoken

Misc

This brings a huge smile to my face: President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning – but he also left no doubt about who’s in charge of these negotiations. “I won,” Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation. Apparently the Republicans […]

Timeline fever is catching on, and now Afghanistan has caught it: President Hamid Karzai demanded at a meeting with a UN Security Council team Tuesday that the international community set a “timeline” for ending military intervention in Afghanistan, his office said.

Bush Is Having Another Temper Tantrum

Misc

Because Senate won’t confirm all the people he wants. What this Washington Post article fails to mention is that a lot of them are held up because Bush wants one key person confirmed. There is a little mention of that person: Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) chastised Bush for sticking with nominees who […]

U.S. Arming Sunni Arabs

Misc

This is a very dangerous tactic: With the four-month-old increase in American troops showing only modest success in curbing insurgent attacks, American commanders are turning to another strategy that they acknowledge is fraught with risk: arming Sunni Arab groups that have promised to fight militants linked with Al Qaeda who have been their allies in […]
