The UN report on climate change has come out and says global warming is now “unstoppable”. So who do we thank for getting to this point? Here is a starter: Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world’s largest oil companies to undermine a major […]
This is priceless: Iraq’s prime minister said Wednesday he’s sure Iran is behind some attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and he won’t allow his country to be a battleground for the two nations. “We have told the Iranians and the Americans, ‘We know that you have a problem with each other, but we are […]
NRO: How about Rick Santorum for the UN job? Yeah, there’d probably be a confirmation fight. And he may want to take a breather after 16 years in elected office. But it’s worth thinking over. Hell – how about Katherine Harris, George “Macaca” Allen or even Tom Delay? (H/T Andrew Sullivan)
Earlier today our commander idiot in chief had this to say: President Bush said on Tuesday the hand of al Qaeda lay behind the sectarian violence racking Iraq, and deflected talk of “civil war.” So that means our number one enemy is behind all our troubles then.

With 70 percent […]
He sure doesn’t like being told what is legal and illegal: President Bush on Friday criticized a federal court ruling that said his warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional, declaring that opponents “do not understand the nature of the world in which we live.” “I strongly disagree with that decision, strongly disagree,” Bush said, striking his […]
Joe Lieberman has offically conceded the race and now is running an independent. He used some bullshit sports analogy to say this is just the first half and in the second half he will lead “team Connecticut” to victory in November. Lieberman called what happened “old politics of partisanship”. Old poltics? How the hell does […]
Today Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee made a statement that would lead us to believe the DSCC, whose mission is to get more Democrats elected to Senate, would support Joe Lieberman if he was defeated in the August primary and forced to run as an Independent. I added a new Get […]
Today I am adding Josh Ritter’s new album “The Animal Years” to the growing list of music that supports the anti-war movement. I need to give a big hat tip to Matt from the comments on this one as it is a great find: On a lighter note, thought I would just recommend some music […]
