Today’s Washington Post has an article by right wing hit man John Solomon. Today Solomon goes after John Edwards and his infamous $400 haircut. They are coining it as “the stylist speaks out”, even though I got a feeling Solomon worked hard to get him to “speak out”. Instead of quoting this piece of crap, […]
I had a feeling the news of Cheney’s saying he is not part of the executive branch would start a fire storm. I just had no idea it would be this big. Rahm Emanuel is showing a pair and ready to really go after Cheney in a way that sounds perfectly legal: Following Vice President […]
Today’s Washington Post: When the FBI asked Congress this spring to provide $3.6 million in the war spending bill for its Gulfstream V jet, it said the money was needed to ensure that the aircraft, packed with state-of-the-art security and communications gear, could continue to fly counterterrorism agents on “crucial missions” into Iraq.

Did anyone thing otherwise? The United States said on Wednesday it opposed setting firm targets for greenhouse gas cuts at a G8 summit but offered reassurance that its plan for fighting climate change would not undermine U.N. efforts.

(And let’s not get into jokes about pickles being in Libby after he arrives at the big house!) Last night the subject of pardoning Scooter Libby was brought up at the GOP debate.

The biggest problem in Iraq is the sectarian violence, so why are they removing leaders who are trying to stop it? A department of the Iraqi prime minister’s office is playing a leading role in the arrest and removal of senior Iraqi army and national police officers, some of whom had apparently worked too aggressively […]

Last night Joe on AmericaBLOG posted this from a Washington Post article: Five suicide bombers struck Shiite marketplaces in northeast Baghdad and a town north of the capital at nightfall Thursday, killing at least 122 people and wounding more than 150 in one of Iraq’s deadliest days in years. The savage […]
From Today’s Washington Post: The Supreme Court made it harder Tuesday for whistle-blowers to share in the proceeds from fraud lawsuits against government contractors. The court ruled 6-2 that James Stone, an 81-year-old retired engineer, may not collect a penny for his role in exposing fraud at the now-closed Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant northwest […]
A new CBS poll shows that 76% believe the administration hasn’t done enough to care for our wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan (h/t Steve). Of course the new person the Pentagon chose to run Walter Reed, Maj. Gen. Gale Pollock, believes that the reports of neglect are a lie: Pollock, in an e-mail […]
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
