This will be an interesting case to watch The Supreme Court announced yesterday that it will review the constitutionality of the so-called Millionaires’ Amendment, which allows opponents of some self-funded congressional candidates to raise more money than federal law normally allows. The court’s decision would come in time to affect the 2008 congressional campaigns. The […]
The money quote: The firefighting system in the massive $736 million embassy complex in Baghdad has potential safety problems that top U.S. officials dismissed in their rush to declare construction largely completed by the end of last year, according to internal State Department documents, e-mails and interviews. We just want it done! And they wonder […]
I worked hard developing this site. I spent countless hours to bring you the new IntoxiNation – now can I have $80,000? I mean it took me about 3 hours last night and 4 hours today to get it done so $80,000 should be about right. If you are confused, don’t be. What I am […]
Now it appears the Pelosi and Reid aren’t even going to try and fight for ending the Iraq War: Democratic leaders in Congress are quietly preparing to give President Bush essentially everything he wants to keep the Iraq war going for at least another six months without forcing any change in course. Swept into power […]
Some Republicans are calling for the House to investigate the New York Time’s charging MoveOn a lower rate on the “Betray Us” ad. Well it looks like the New York Times isn’t the only ones guilty of such an error: The Star Tribune will be refunding about $12,000 spent on a full-page ad to Al […]

If […]
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 […]
Of course the right will jump on this and say that “oh yeah -the looney left thinks Bush did something to make that bridge collapse”. Well they are right and he has. He has ignored our nation’s infrastructure during his entire presidency and now that neglect is becoming obvious. Harry Reid even gets it on […]
While I been busy reconfiguring all kinds of business stuff today, I have had MSNBC on. They have been running John McCain doing his cheerleading speech for the Iraq War, on the Senate Floor today. Why doesn’t anyone in the “mainstream media” ask the simple question – Why is McCain worried about big speeches when […]
I left for the beach on May 18 and returned on May 28. During that period of a little over a week, we lost 59 soldiers in Iraq, including at least 8 on Memorial Day: At least eight U.S. soldiers were killed in restive Diyala province north of Baghdad on Memorial Day, two of the […]
