The flack between Sharpton and Obama is nothing more than that – flack. Kos posted earlier about Sharpton’s criticism of Obama and I have to agree. Obama is out talking about his anti-war stance, so why did he support Joe Lieberman? Lieberman has been out blasting Democrats for trying to stop the war and even […]
Howard Stern Show Pranks Bill ‘O Reilly It might take a couple of viewings to catch the actual punchline. Think Bart Simpson!
I am sure everyone has heard the news that the Taliban bombed a U.S. base in Afghanistan, where Dick Cheney was staying. The Taliban then released a statement that they were targeting Cheney. With all this news, there is a key question that isn’t gaining that much attention. Take this line: “This shows how much […]
Remember a couple of years ago when Rumsfeld was asked by a active soldier in Iraq how come they didn’t have armor? How about all the times we have heard parents of troops saying they have to send money to our troops to buy armor and the Pentagon not wanting to reimburse them, or even […]

Kos had this interesting tidbit yesterday: In an interview, Pelosi also said she was puzzled by what she considered the president’s minimalist explanation for his confidence in the new surge of 21,500 U.S. troops that he has presented as the crux of a new “way forward” for U.S. forces in Iraq. “He’s tried this two […]
There has been all this talk about increasing the size of the U.S. military, but with recruitment levels so low, where is Bush going to get these new bodies? One thought is the “stop-loss” program the military has been using in Iraq. Of course that is very damaging to the moral of our troops and […]
Atrios: If someone smarter than me can figure out the though process behind this I think we’d understand our preznit quite a bit more than we do: I am, you know, amazed that this is a society which so wants to be free that they’re willing to – you know, that there’s a level of […]
Since this whole Foley thing opened up, I have realized that the Republicans are right. They are right when they say the problem with Foley is his being gay.
