Yesterday Condi said we made 1,000s of mistakes in Iraq. Today she is backpedaling on that comment saying “don’t take it literally”. One day after Condoleezza Rice said the United States made possibly “thousands” of tactical mistakes in the war against Iraq, the secretary of state says she was speaking “figuratively, not literally.” Interesting. So […]
If one thing is for certain in the uncertain world of politics, it is that 2006 is going to be the year to watch. Republicans have definitely fumbled the ball during the 109th session of Congress and not only Democrats, but also a majority of the public is awaiting someone to pick that ball up […]
Knight Ridder has broken open a story that spans over a couple big scandals. Those scandals are Randy Cunningham and the spying on anti-war activists: A Pentagon intelligence agency that kept files on American anti-war activists hired one of the contractors who bribed former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif., to help it collect data on […]
This entire debacle that has started by a very legitimate resolution offered by Russ Feingold has just got me fuming. His motion to censure Bush is by far one of the most reasonable requests that have been made in the 109th Congress. Rather you are for or against the wiretapping program, one thing remains – […]
Chris “Tweety” Matthews has an article up about the Southern Republicans Convention going on this weekend and in particular their straw poll vote for the 2008 Presidential candidate: Sources tell me that Sen.

The hype surrounding this issue was mostly manufactured. Security, the only concern, is not outsourced and would not have been. Politicians created the furor for their own […]
Well ABC News is reporting on an interesting development in the Dubai ports deal: The White House asked Dubai Ports World, a company owned by the United Arab Emirates, to give up its management stake in U.S. ports, to save President Bush from the politically difficult position of vetoing a key piece of legislation to […]
As I go through trying to fine tune everything I have noticed a couple small problems with the site. First off there was a couple days where it was slow loading. This was actually a problem with the hosting company. Thankfully they were quick to remedy the situation. It took a couple days because I […]
With the Associated Press picking up on the Vanity Fair article about Abramoff and Bush is a real good thing: Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff says President Bush knew him well enough to joke with him about weightlifting. “What are you benching, buff guy?” Abramoff said Bush asked him. The president has said he doesn’t know […]
Recruitment for our armed forces are at a low. So what can be done about it? How about more recruitment scandals. Reuters has a bad one for us: Two women who said two U.S. Marine Corps recruiters forced them to have sex after they expressed interest in joining the force sued over the incidents on […]
