This past spring we read headlines of how “the brain is back”. Of course they were talking about Karl Rove, who came back strong into the political arena once he was cleared in the Valerie Plame leak case. Shortly after that, Rove remained the headline. He laid out the GOP strategy for the mid-term elections […]
In the last decade we have seen our political climate severely changed by the Christian right. Motivating them has been the greatest accomplishment that the Republicans have pulled off. During the 1994 Republican take over of Congress, Newt Gingrich helped construct this new powerful base. While the now infamous “Contract with America” did not specifically […]
Five years ago today George Bush announced that Operation Enduring Freedom was underway in Afghanistan. American’s were happy to see justice taking place for the horrible attacks that happened a month before. Five years later, here we are.

You know you are one screwed candidate when you can’t even get your own state party to back you: The state Republican Party bluntly told Rep. Katherine Harris that she couldn’t win this fall’s Senate election and that the party wouldn’t support her campaign, a letter obtained Monday by The Associated Press shows. Party Chairman […]
Now the Republican White House does not like Republican passed laws: An obscure law approved by a Republican-controlled Congress a decade ago has made the Bush administration nervous that officials and troops involved in handling detainee matters might be accused of committing war crimes, and prosecuted at some point in U.S. courts. Senior officials have […]
After some hard computer snooping, I have uncovered a citizenship test completed by George W. Bush. Apparently he wanted to try the waters and see how hard it was for illegal immigrants to become U.S. citizens. The answers are interesting. The results appear below the fold.
