E.J. Dionne has a great piece up today about the Democrats problem in Congress. Democrats in Congress are discovering what it’s like to live in the worst of all possible worlds. They are condemned for selling out to President Bush and condemned for failing to make compromises aimed at getting things done. Democrats complain that […]
That is exactly what this is: Verizon Communications, the nation’s second-largest telecom company, told congressional investigators that it has provided customers’ telephone records to federal authorities in emergency cases without court orders hundreds of times since 2005. The company said it does not determine the requests’ legality or necessity because to do so would slow […]
Looks like Rudy may be breaking Pentagon rules by using Petraeus’ image in his ads: Images of Gen. David Petraeus appeared in an ad the Giuliani campaign began running yesterday attacking Hillary Clinton. The Pentagon says the use of the Petraeus images was done without Petraeus’ consent. Military personnel are barred by Pentagon regulations from […]
We have yet another example of George Bush’s disregard for the laws of this country: Opening a new front in the Bush administration’s battle to keep its records confidential, the Justice Department is contending that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Apparently it is a good thing when used by the Reverend Jerry Falwell. He called Hillary Clinton “Lucifer” in a sermon, and is defending that as being a “joke”. So when a religious leader calls one of our senators (and a former first lady) Lucifer, it is ok, yet when Chavez calls Bush the devil, […]
The Republicans are working harder to save their own asses this November, and that includes eating their own: U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Davis has joined the growing chorus of those who believe Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should be out of a job. “I told my husband that when (Sen.) Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) came out and […]
I heard of being in bed with the right but the latest piece by Newsweek columnist Eleanor Clift makes it sound like one hell of an orgy going on: Republicans finally had something to celebrate this week when Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold called for censuring George W. Bush. Democrats must have a death wish. Just […]
