Yesterday the heads of the 9/11 commission were on Meet the Press and told Tim Russert that we were not prepared for another attack. This has sparked a great deal of attention from the media: WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is still unprepared for another inevitable terrorist attack after not doing enough to improve […]
Since the Iraq war started one thing has really gotten under my skin. That is the continuous assertion that we hate our troops because we oppose the war in Iraq. The fact that we want them home protecting their nation and not off in some far away land fighting an illegal war based on lies […]
President Bush’s speech last night appears to be nothing more than that, just a speech. He talked about a plan to rebuild the Gulf Coast and restore normalcy to the lives of those affected. He gave a speech that some have compared to a “FDR speechâ€ÂÂ. A real question lies now in the sincerity of […]
We are now into a historical week. While Senate is holding confirmation hearings on John Roberts and coverage still comes out of the Gulf Coast, there is another event happening in New York that is of paramount interest. The United Nations will be hosting leaders from all over the world this week in the largest […]

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 […]
You may be wondering why I am relating the disaster in the Gulf Coast to that of Bill Clinton’s greatest moment of indiscretion. While the actual events of both incidents have a great difference, the reaction of both Presidents is much the same. Bill Clinton had his sexual encounter with Monica Lewinsky. He was ratted […]
After writing my earlier post, just after midnight, about the lack of preparation on the Government’s part for the disaster in the Gulf, I received an email alert about a new article just released by Knight Ridder. “Federal government wasn’t ready for Katrina, disaster experts say†is the title of the article and it goes […]
