We hear that the administration “wants to be more upfront with the American people” yet Tony Snow is proving that false: QUESTION: In his news conference with John Howard, was the president giving kind of a backhanded confirmation of the stories that the NSA is compiling telephone lists? SNOW: No, he wasn’t. If you go […]
USA Today/Gallup has a new poll out showing a majority of Americans disapprove of the NSA phone collection and an even larger majority want hearings. Atrios has all the details on it. This shows us now that America is not pleased and should show the Washington Post that you can not run a poll on […]
It is time to hold these telecommunication giants liable for their actions in disclosing phone records to the government. The only privacy policy I could find for the companies listed in the USA Today article is that of Verizon (viewable here), and it appears they may have a problem: Disclosure of Information Outside Verizon As […]
Well Bush must be worried about the today’s USA Today report and has already addressed reporters on it: President Bush addressed Thursday a newspaper report that the National Security Agency was collecting records of tens of millions of ordinary Americans’ phone calls. Bush neither confrimed or denied the report that AT&T Corp., Verizon Communications Inc., […]
Last night we were slapped with this very disturbing piece of news: The government has abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter. The Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, or OPR, sent a fax […]

The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush’s standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week. His […]
(Raw Story has brought this old entry I did up. It is of significance right now with the news that Tony Snow could be slated to replace Scott McClellan so I decided to bump it up considering I have changed servers and domains since then). While digging around trying to find more dirt on FOX news […]
Let’s take a moment to look at the problems facing America today: War on terror War in Iraq Economy ready to burst A devastated region of the country Increasing numbers in people without health care Record deficits Civil liberties under attack Children testing lower than many other countries You get the idea. I could go […]
Here is more polling data that was compiled on the Washington Post’s blog by Chris Cillizza. This is really interesting because it deals with the 2006 generic ballot: Organization SurveyDates GOP Dem Diff. CNN/USA Today/Gallup 3/10-12 39 55 D+16 Fox/Opinion Dynamics 2/28-3/13 34 48 D+14 CNN/USA Today/Gallup 2/28-3/13 39 53 D+14 Democracy Corps (D) […]
Two new polls have Bush still in the gutter. First off, the WSJ released the results of a Harris poll today. That poll is putting him at 36%. That is down 4 points from last month and only 2 points about his all time low of 36% recorded by Harris last Novemeber. CNN/Usa Today/Gallup released […]
