Since the death of Bin Laden, the torture supporters have been in chest thumping mode, saying that it was the harsh interrogation torture of detainees that lead to the intel: Finally, in May 2005, al-Libi was captured. Under CIA interrogation, al-Libi admitted that when he was promoted to succeed Mohammed, he received the word through […]
People like this make me really want to break things: Elected officials should know better than to blame the victim of a sex crime. While it’s a common tactic of abusers, it’s something no one expected of Republican Florida state Rep. Kathleen Passidomo. During debate over a bill that would legislate a dress code for […]
The Tea Party has come up with an idea on how to handle those pro-union protestors, in a post entitled ‘FIGHT THE SEIU WITH TACTIC THEY USE AGAINST US – THIS WEEK!’ by the very racist leader Mark Williams: http://action.seiu.org/page/s/solidarityaction .

In a nutshell, the company that holds the […]
That’s what the McCain campaign has been doing and the proof is in their ads. The AP has done a study on this: MADISON, Wis. – Nearly every TV ad Republican John McCain ran last week was negative, compared to just 34 percent of those by Democrat Barack Obama, according to an analysis released Wednesday.

I missed this article by Thomas Frank yesterday in the Wall Street Journal: Last week, Republican presidential candidate John McCain called for a commission to “find out what went wrong” on Wall Street. It was an excellent suggestion: Public inquiries into Wall Street practices served the country well in the 1930s. And Mr. McCain has […]
The Answer – committees that John McCain does not sit on. Chris Dodd, who chairs one of those committees, told Rachael Maddow tonight that Obama has been in constant with him to check on the progress and offer ideas. McCain has not been in touch at all.
