Last night I posted the good news that December marked the first month since the start of the Iraq war that no U.S. service members died in hostile actions. I hope that is the start of a new trend, but given the recent developments of a judge dismissing all charges against Blackwater, I can’t be […]
In her latest “syndicated column”, Michelle Malkin has decided to target blacks and the left as being responsible for the rash of cop killings this year. Ironically she forgets to mention one tragedy that claimed the lives of 3 cops earlier this year: A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest and “lying in wait” opened fire […]
Absolutely fucking amazing. Scarborough dishonored the memory of the slain officers just to protect his BFF Huckabee. MSNBC should hang their head very low in shame today and Morning Joe should be cancelled. UPDATE: Within 8 minutes of his show starting, Dylan Ratigan started covering the shootings. NBC even has a reporter on the scene, […]
That is something the wingnuts have been bolstering lately; “the insurgency is standing up to al Qaeda”. While it is true, they fail to mention the other part of that equation. The Guardian has published an article explaining this (and repeating what the left has been saying): Seven of the most important Sunni-led insurgent organisations […]
All this talk of “condemning” Sudan is nothing but that, talk. The Bush administration don’t care what they are doing, so long as they can “help us”: Sudan has secretly worked with the CIA to spy on the insurgency in Iraq, an example of how the U.S. has continued to cooperate with the Sudanese regime […]
My blood boiled yesterday as I started reading right-wing blogs immediately jump on the “give everyone guns” mentality following the shooting at Virginia Tech.

TPM has posted this video and it goes with what I was saying earlier: The part that really gets me wondering is this: I can say with certainty that the Quds force, a part of the Iranian government, has provided these sophisticated IEDs that have harmed our troops. And I’d like to repeat, I […]
This is how loony the right is becoming, as they fear our newly elected Democratic congress: A radio talk-show entertainer whose earlier statements that he “may” have to assassinate members of Congress if the wrong people were elected Nov. 7 now has set a timetable for those killings. In a statement on his website, Hal […]
Associated Press: Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town, as the ousted leader, trembling and defiant, shouted “God is great!” As he, his half brother and another senior official in his regime were convicted and sentenced to […]
John Mark Karr, Katrina, new hurricanes, Tom Cruise, and now Warren Jeffs. Wow with all that going on in the world, it is no wonder why little stories like this get buried: Police found more than two dozen bodies across the capital Tuesday and the government said 73 people had died in fighting in the […]
