That is the actual number of troops that could be sent to Iraq – not the 21,500 Bush said: President Bush and his new military chiefs have been saying for nearly a month that they would “surge” an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq, in a last, grand push to quell the violence in Baghdad and in […]
Remember a couple of weeks ago when there was all this talk that Canada was using coins with radio transmitters to spy on us? The Defense Department put out a warning about them and everything. It was something that sounded so James Bond(ish). Well now we have the Defense Department issuing their own mia culpa […]
Last year, Ken Mehlman was always appearing on different talk shows, but his message was always the same. He would constantly resort to his meme of “the Democrats are not unified”. It was becoming his greatest jab at the minority party. Here we are in 2007 and now the tables are turned. In the House […]
TPM Brings us this gem: “A ‘surge’ or ‘targeted increase in U.S. troop strength’ or whatever the politicians want to call dispatching more combat troops to Iraq isn’t the answer.

(NOTE: John has returned from his cross country adventure so things are getting back to normal, and normal posting will resume.) According to MSNBC via Raw Story, George Allen is to concede his race this afternoon at 3:00 pm est. This seals the deal on the Senate and we can move forward as a nation […]
This weekend amazed me. During all the talk shows hardly a word was mention about the resignation of Susan Ralston. Instead all focus was on the Foley scandal yet again. Ralston’s resignation is equally, if not more, important than Foleygate. Ralston was Karl Rove’s top aide. You could say she was to Karl Rove what […]
Our nation has now turned back the hands of time to a point in history before we were actually a nation: The Senate, siding with President Bush shortly after he personally lobbied lawmakers at the Capitol, rejected a move Thursday by a leading Republican to allow terrorism suspects to challenge their imprisonment in court. The […]
There has been a lot of coverage on the news networks today about the House’s debate over the resolution to commemorate 9/11. The question is – why today? Should this not have been debated and enacted for the actual anniversary – 3 days ago? Oh wait – I got it. The House was on recess […]
