TPM Brings us this gem: “A ‘surge’ or ‘targeted increase in U.S. troop strength’ or whatever the politicians want to call dispatching more combat troops to Iraq isn’t the answer. Adding more trainers and helping the Iraqis to help themselves, is. Sending more U.S. combat troops is simply sending more targets.” That is a quote […]
Looks like FOX is trying to do whatever they can to get their ratings back: Fox News Channel might air two episodes of a “Daily Show”-like program with a decidedly nonliberal bent on Saturday nights in late January, with the possibility that it could become a weekly show for the channel. The half-hour show is […]
I really hope this is the guy: A California man suspected of mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white powder to celebrities and U.S. politicians has been arrested and could face federal charges on Monday, the FBI said. Investigators identified Chad Castagana, 39, of Woodland Hills, California, as the person suspected of sending more than […]
(NOTE: John has returned from his cross country adventure so things are getting back to normal, and normal posting will resume.) According to MSNBC via Raw Story, George Allen is to concede his race this afternoon at 3:00 pm est. This seals the deal on the Senate and we can move forward as a nation […]

Generally it is FOX’s Neil Cavuto and his use of the right-wing propaganda style questions that make the news, but today MSNBC has followed suit. Their question today “Did Britain drop the ball in helping shape policy?”. Of course they were talking about Iraq. I guess MSNBC wants to leave their viewers believing that it […]
The OH-1 race is starting to gain attention as becoming more of a hot ticket item. MSNBC has this to say about it: Ohio-01: No election tapestry would be complete without an Ohio race this cycle. The reason to highlight this fight is because it’s a district that was previously redrawn to make Republican Rep. […]
This afternoon on MSNBC we got a great taste of how right-wing talking heads can easily loose it. In two different segments, right wing talk radio hose Steve Malzberg was debating former Air America host Mike Malloy on Foleygate then later on teachers having guns in school. In both instances Malzberg attacked the MSNBC host. […]
It look like Hastert is toast now. I just posted the video on Crooks and Liars of David Shuster saying they have sources saying it is no longer a matter of if, but when and who will tell Hastert he is gone. MSNBC is also now reporting that John Boehner and Deborah Pryce have called […]
