Signs are pointing to us entering the dreaded double-dip recession: Friday’s news on GDP shows the double dip has arrived — an expansion of only 1.3 percent and consumer spending up 0.1 percent in the second quarter. Astonishingly low by any account. The debt ceiling trouble and lack of a longer term resolution to the […]
Welcome to the latest fad, robotripping. No this isn’t a variation of some 80’s dance, but rather a serious issue plaguing America’s teens. Robotripping is abusing different over the counter cough and cold medicines in hopes of getting a buzz. In 2008 some 8,000 teens were hospitalized from this new rave and now the government, […]
From Crawford’s blog: For those who might be interested – and you have every reason not to be – I am no longer with MSNBC. Three months short of my current contract I sent the following to the boss, Phil Griffin: “Phil, Just wanted to give you the heads up that my situation with MSNBC […]

But the review […]
Another sort-of terror threat ‘No credible intelligence’: FBI expresses vigilance for upcoming tournaments Could something happen? Of course. Am I sick and tired of this administrations games with scaring the hell out Americans when serious threats don’t really exist? Definitely. Maybe that’s why the US public is turning away from the Bush administration and their […]
Sadly last night, the House approved CAFTA. The bill only passed by two votes. This means it will be official once Bush signs it. This is truly sad for the American working class. This bill is guaranteed to send more jobs over seas. Instead of buying sugar or cotton grown right here in the United […]
