Isn’t that what they say about the war in Iraq? I guess the bloody part is right: A car bomb killed 33 people in northern Iraq on Sunday, security officials said, hours before U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates arrived in Baghdad to assess recent security gains and discuss troop levels. A U.S. military spokesman said […]
For something that started as a little blurb a couple of weeks ago, this story sure has gained momentum: Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), a certified public accountant, had pushed for months for an internal audit of the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to GOP members, but the committee’s treasurer at the time was reluctant. Finally, […]
Where all the good little robots line up and act accordingly: CPAC it seems, is directing its loyal goers to not boo McCain. They must be more excited that McCain has finally signed on to appear after years of snubs than they want to let on. During registration last night at the Omni Shoreham a […]
So much compassion that they filibuster helping out our vets, elderly and poor: Senate Republicans blocked a move by Democrats on Wednesday to add more than $40 billion in checks for the elderly, disabled veterans and the unemployed to a bill to stimulate the economy. The 58-41 vote fell just short of the 60 required […]
According to GOP Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite they are. She doesn’t like the economic stimulus going to these “foreign citizens”.

This is one of my favorite photos from Ice Fest this weekend (you can view the rest here). On Saturday it was pushing 50 degrees here in Ohio. Needless to say a lot of the ice sculptures started melting from the sun. I took this picture at night and saw the puddle of water underneath. […]
For years we heard people talking about how brilliant Rove was when it came to politics. I always disagreed with that. What Rove is good at is dirty tricks, spinning and lying. Calling him a “great political mind” is like calling a bank robber a “great businessman” or a rapist an “artful seducer of women”. […]
The man who created such key phrases as “the death tax” for the GOP seems to be liking the idea of a President Obama. Here is an interview Bill Maher did with him last night:
When asked about the economy, none of them (well except Ron Paul) would give Bush any blame for the economy. The spin machine was in full force trying to blame everyone else, but the person who voters traditionally blame. With the news of 17,000 jobs lost yesterday, that could really end up hurting the eventual […]
This is not good news for the GOP front runner: John McCain, who ended the year with a $4.5 million debt, plans six coast-to-coast fundraisers in three days to capitalize on his Florida victory and front-runner status and build on the $7 million he raised in the first three weeks of January. $7 million? That […]
