I posted the other day that the WSJ/NBC latest poll has Bush’s approval at 38%. Like I said at that time, dependent upon the poll the numbers to fluctuate pretty good. Well I found another poll that has Bush even lower than that. This one has him at 36%. That poll is from none other […]
In the first of what is hopefully many good signs to come tonight, Tim Kaine defeated Republican Jerry Kilgore for the top job in the state of Virginia.

In a sad farewell to diplomacy, today George Bush did what he promised. He has installed John Bolton as our ambassador to the UN. The man who not only lied to Senate but also has unquestionably been abusive to subordinates is now our man sitting at the head of diplomacy. Bush has taken the stance […]
I just finished watching a debate between Jean Schmidt and Paul Hackett, the two running for the 2nd congressional seat of Ohio. After seeing this, I really see the even darker, and more blinded side of the Republican – Jean Schmidt. Paul Hackett, who returned from Iraq this past spring, was stationed in Fallujah helping […]
