I no longer get done posting my last article and look at what pops up: A hacker breached the Agriculture Department’s computer system and may have taken personal information on 26,000 employees, retirees and contractors, the department said, making it the latest federal agency to have had personal data compromised. The potential loss is less […]
Newsday gives us this nice little bit of information: Now that top White House aide Karl Rove is off the hook in the CIA leak probe, President George W. Bush must weigh whether to pardon former vice presidential aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the only one indicted in the three-year investigation. Speculation about a pardon […]
Last night I posted about “Bush the Environmentalist” who is boasting a claim that he has created the world’s largest wildlife sanctuary. I also showed where this actual sanctuary was originally created by Clinton in 2000. Now I have come across (with the help of a friend at political-nutshell) more articles that shows how concerned […]
It has been almost a year since I first mentioned Bunnatine Greenhouse. She was the top procurement officer for the Army Corp of Engineers and was in charge of the contracts for Iraq.

Protesters […]
This is truly an absurd quote from the Governor of Florida: Tropical Storm Alberto, pushing a dome of sea water toward shore, quickened its assault on North Florida this evening. Officials urged coastal residents to swiftly evacuate the area. ”Its arrival on our shores will be much quicker than we were anticipating a few hours […]
Here is something that is a silent buzz on the internet right now. I think in part because many people do not know how to really react to it: Rep. John P. Murtha (Pa.), one of the Democrats’ leading antiwar voices, startled his political colleagues yesterday by announcing he would seek a senior leadership position […]
This week the House passed a bill to authorize another $90 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as rebuilding the Gulf Coast. While we hear about more and more money going towards the military, we really need to know exactly what it is being spent on once there. This article tells […]
As much as the administration likes to talk about the “free and democratic” Iraq, you see stories like this and really know how bogus that claim is: Iraq’s prime minister imposed a daytime driving ban in Baghdad and in the province where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed by American bombs, fearing insurgents will seek to […]
