Today’s wingnutopia outrage of “why to hate Hagel” is brought to you buy that bow-tie wearing dweeb, Tucker Carlson’s, conspiracy tabloid, The Daily Caller: A pro-Hezbollah, pro-Hamas candidate for the Iranian presidency, a man linked to Iranian-controlled front groups, brought former Republican Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel to speak at Rutgers University in 2007, according to […]
The nomination of Chuck Hagel by President Obama to become our next Secretary of Defense has really started a firestorm. One of the most interesting reasons Republicans oppose him has to be this: They’ve also lambasted positions Hagel took as a GOP senator, including his opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as votes […]
Not even a year ago many in the Republican Party were pushing for Haley Barbour, aka Boss Hogg, to run for President. Imagine if he did and this came out: GOP power broker Haley Barbour’s lobby shop, BGR Group, represents a Russian bank that has financed a company that helped build Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power […]
The Republicans have been working hard to try and blame Obama for the oil spill. As I pointed out yesterday, Obama does deserve a little blame for not having booms on hand, but that blame also needs to be shared with Bush and Clinton, since none of them prepared to follow a 1994 plan on […]
The news that a judge has allowed the case of Jamie Leigh Jones against Halliburton/KBR to move forward has come at a very interesting time.

Here’s the new outrage from the right. President Obama signed a book deal for an abridged version of “Dreams From My Father” aimed at middle school aged kids. Basically the published will do the book and Obama will sign off on the final copy. For this, Obama gets $500,000. The deal was reportedly in the […]
It’s a bad thing that Bill Clinton makes money from foreign countries while his wife is Secretary of State, yet it was perfectly fine for Dick Cheney to increase his wealth exponentially from war profiteering Halliburton, while he was vice-President and pushing for more wars. How many have been killed by Clinton’s work?
John Boehner wants Bush to cut off all federal funding to ACORN Boehner said his office had determined that ACORN had received more than $31 million in direct federal funding since 1998. He said the group had likely received far more indirectly through federal block grants to states and localities. “Immediate action is necessary to […]
