Today’s New York Times has a look at a newly released report on voter fraud that is very interesting. It appears that a lot of politics may have gone into this report to change the outcome, and the final report was approved by the 2 Republicans and 1 Democrat on the commission. A federal panel […]
You got to love how diplomatic this White House is. Here is what they have said today about the military supplemental bill: President Bush on Tuesday invited Democrats to discuss their standoff over a war-spending bill, but he made clear he would not change his position opposing troop withdrawals. The White House bluntly said the […]
On Late Edition, Wolf Blitzer had Arlen Specter and Joe Lieberman discussing Nancy Pelosi’s Syria trip. Today we got Specter, a Republican, defending Pelosi’s trip, while Lieberman, the man who claims to be a Democrat, bashing Pelosi. (video just uploaded so it will take a minute) Lieberman played his usual role as mouth piece for […]
Everyone has been blasting Pelosi for going to Syria, but there has been no critisism of Republicans doing the same. Today, Rep Darrell Issa (R-CA) is in Syria meeting with Damascus. Now Boehner is giving the Republican excuse of why Democrats can’t go to Syria: Boehner declined to criticize [fellow Republican Rep. David Hobson] for […]
Perhaps this war: Income inequality grew significantly in 2005, with the top 1 percent of Americans — those with incomes that year of more than $348,000 — receiving their largest share of national income since 1928, analysis of newly released tax data shows. The top 10 percent, roughly those earning more than $100,000, also reached […]

This spending includes things like $74 million for peanut storage, $25 million for spinach growers, and a host of other […]
This was a priceless moment during today’s hearings on Global Warming. Of course Inhofe is the one who constantly denies global warming. During the opening of today’s hearings, you could quickly tell the Republicans were planning to dodge the actual issue by raising parliamentary procedures. Oh how mature of them. The typical GOP response – […]
Joe Klein writes this: Then again, the Republicans are fielding a motley crew right now: if you count Newt Gingrich, who’ll probably join the fray in the fall, the four leading candidates have had nine marriages among them: Giuliani three, Gingrich three, McCain two and Romney one. The Republican faithful are left with a devil […]
Yesterday posted about the mountain of failures this administration has had. From Iraq to Katrina, it can be a full time job just documenting all the wrong turns the Bush White House has made. Also yesterday, we saw the first Republican publicly calling for Gonzales to go. John Sununu has been critical of the administration […]
The flack between Sharpton and Obama is nothing more than that – flack. Kos posted earlier about Sharpton’s criticism of Obama and I have to agree. Obama is out talking about his anti-war stance, so why did he support Joe Lieberman? Lieberman has been out blasting Democrats for trying to stop the war and even […]
