That is the part of our Constitution that lays out the only real job of the vice-President. That job is to be the President of the Senate. We were reminded of this about a year ago by another vice-President – Dick Cheney. What legislative experience does Sarah Palin have? I have read a lot of […]
That’s how a new report describes the Iraq War, and even goes as far as saying the “outcome is in doubt”. This isn’t a report by some left-wing group, but a report by National Defense University, the Pentagon’s top educational institute. The report was written by Joseph Collins, a former top Rumsfeld aide. He even […]
We might as well brace ourselves for $6.00 a gallon at the pumps: High gasoline prices and prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal headline Vice President Dick Cheney’s trip to the Mideast, but fears about Iran’s rising influence will be a key topic of his private talks at each stop. Mr “closed door energy meetings” […]
When it looks like these missing emails may have altered other investigations then it is time for a criminal probe into it: Apparent gaps in White House e-mail archives coincide with dates in late 2003 and early 2004 when the administration was struggling to deal with the CIA leak investigation and the possibility of a […]
Just another problem our next President gets to fix: The arrest of a man named Steven Howards in June 2006 after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney at a Colorado ski resort and denounced the war in Iraq might have seemed, at the time, no more than a blip on the vice president’s schedule.

Later, so did the U.S. attorney in Orange […]
I used to really like Chuck Schumer. Those feelings have changed in recent history. He is not a man of principal – he is a man of covering his own ass. In today’s New York Times, he has authored an Op-Ed explaining his reason for supporting Mukasey: I AM voting today to support Michael B. […]
Dick Cheney should be considered the biggest threat to American security – period. The man wants nothing but war, and won’t stop until he gets another one: The United States and other nations will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday. “Our country, and the entire international community, […]
This will be so much fun: The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney’s office Wednesday for documents relating to President Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program. Also named in subpoenas signed by committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were the Justice Department and the National Security Council. The four parties have until […]
I had a feeling the news of Cheney’s saying he is not part of the executive branch would start a fire storm. I just had no idea it would be this big. Rahm Emanuel is showing a pair and ready to really go after Cheney in a way that sounds perfectly legal: Following Vice President […]
